Bryan and Matt of Marie Stella sent us these answers to our questions in this next installment of the q and also a series. q: What is the last song you (really) heard? b: Some jam band song I can't even identify.

1. Oh No! Yoko- 90s kids every ounce of me wants to hate this song but i can't.Just like riding a razor scooter you know how it looks to others and you know not all of your friends are going to understand but that doesn't matter because it just feels right 2. acid house kings-are we lovers or are we friends? Before heading down to bloomington last week I was making up a mix for my brother and originally slated this as track one. Then after wise considerations scratched it [...]

Recommended Show: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2010 BLANK DOGS, I'M TURNING INTO, SNAKES SAY HISSS, & SWEET BULBS @ NEWTOWN CREEK BENEFIT 271 Starr St New York, NY 11237 $12, 8PM We think that it's going to take a lot more than an indie rock benefit show to help the overly polluted Newtown Creek. However, every little bit helps, and with performances from Blank Dogs , I'm Turning Into , and more, this is great (even if will ultimately only do a little to help the body of [...]

This q and also a features the answers of blogger turned rocker Kevin Diamond the singer/guitarist/keyboardist of Shark? . q: What is the last song you (really) heard? a: A Crime (mp3) by Carnivores . We just played with them and Dinosaur Feathers at Cake Shop last night and they blew me away. A Crime is their catchiest tune, though Organ Trail is probably my favorite so far. I just got it this morning and I've listened to the album three times [...]
Monday: White Hills + Pontiak @ Cake Shop 8pm $7 [ info ] There are worse fates in life than to go underrated for most of your career, but when you have worked as hard and are as talented as these two bands that just shouldn't be the case. Yet for some reason both White Hills and Pontiak seem to fly way under the radar and that's probably why you can still see them at venues like Cake Shop. That may be good for music loving fanatics like you and me, but hopefully these [...]

We got an e-mail today from one of our favorite local bands, the terribly difficult to Google, Shark? . The band will be releasing a brand new EP tomorrow titled Noise Maker via their Bandcamp site and wanted to make it known that they are playing a bunch of shows here in New York, two of which are this week. All that info points to a really good time to e-mail bloggers about the goings on of your band and we're thankful Shark? let us know about [...]
by kd Miniboone has fast become one of Brooklyn's most energetic and entertaining live bands. Their spastic and nervy live shows have paid off, with mentions in many blogs, including msn.com's CMJ coverage. The praise is well deserved; their songs are catchy, with jerky, stop-start riffs that recall the best moments of post-punk icons Devo and Talking Heads, with a healthy dose of the modern indie-rock of Arcade Fire and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. And now the band is supplementing their live shows with [...]
by QC staff Well, hello there. How've you been? How was the year? What did you do? Who did you see? Why did you make the decisions you made? Did they turn out well? Did your mistakes become happy accidents? Did you hear that song? You know which one. Wasn't It great? How about that show? The one where they... yeah, that one. I almost cried when I saw that part where he... We don't really believe in lists here. We prefer conversation to soap boxing; we enjoy the transfer [...]

So here is an mp3 by a band that played Cameo last night. I wish I could have been there, but alas I couldn't make it. Boo hoo, right? Kinda makes sense that this song is about going to a show.

Downloadable: I'm Going (mp3) Upcoming Show: Dec 22 @ Cakeshop w/ Total Slacker , Food Stamps , Sunshower Orphans for MusicVsHunger ($5 with a canned food donation, $6 without) I'm [...]

Earlier this Fall, I posted an mp3 from Quiet Color blogger turned rocker Kevin Diamond's band Shark? . They sound like this: Downloadable: Fear! (mp3) While clicking around on bandcamp recently, I noticed that not only did Shark? have a bandcamp page , they were giving away their Fear! EP for free. What can I say? I am a big fan of that price. (You can read a little bit about appeal of free over at WIRED ... here ). You can [...]
