Northside Week ! : It's almost over because it's just beginning!!! Northside Week : What does that mean? Northside kicks off tonight and thus, I will leave you to your weekend of frolicking in the streets of Williamsburg, eating Endless Summer tacos and swilling dollar-off beers while listening to Brooklyn's finest indie rock. Before I do that, let's just do a quick lowdown on Sunday . Chances are you've been running around like crazy all weekend, so why don't you take this one [...]
What kind of music are you in the mood for? I'm rather at a loss at the moment. What I really want is an album to come and kick my ass and take me to places I haven't been in a while, but I don't see one of those on the horizon. But I can't blame the music for that, not completely, at any rate. Part of it's definitely me and my own indistinct desires and emotional state. It's not bad, I'm not in a bad place, it's just that I'm not quite [...]

Read on: One Sweet Song and the ever-awesome Karl Sturk are curating a showcase for next week's Northside Music Festival [...]
Some new tracks found on our mailbox! Club 8 - Shape Up Pallers - The Kiss Coltrane Motion - I Forgot there was a War On Circus Envy - A New Dawn Palmyra - Pink Planes . No related posts.
Palmyra : straight up grunge/jazz gold! Huh? Yeah, they're a complete mesh of the two genres, and it's pretty impressive. The five members from Brooklyn (In the future, we won't list location if the band is from Brooklyn. It should just be the expected place unless we say otherwise. Only half-kidding.) mix up raw female vocals with horns and crashing cymbals. "Pink Planes" is stuck on repeat for me, partly because it's so short, partly because I like it a lot, and partly because I keep forgetting what I want to say. Palmyra's debut album, Mis-en-Scene [...]

It doesn't get any more [Local! Music! Friday!], than this. Tell me...what is this Local Music Fridays? This has something I've shied away from from the start of the blog, but I think I'm going to go ahead with some 100% shameless self-promotion, so I hope you'll forgive me and bear with me this time. I will be taking a week-long hiatus from OSS while I go on tour. And to celebrate, today, on this Local! Music! Friday!, I [...]

Jolie Holland is basically the American KT Tunstall and like her counterpart, Jolie is a whizz on the acoustic guitar and here gentle melodic ballads are easy on the ear. Her alternative pop/folk sound is not over complicated and in some ways, its simplicity makes it special. Each track has a steady tempo and instead of focusing on trying to do something different, Jolie uses some tight guitar playing and some pretty astonishing vocals to blow away the audience. The New York girl sounds like she's been dumped in an American desert left with only [...]
Palmyra is an indie-pop group based in Brooklyn, NY and fronted by the beautiful voice of singer/songwriter Gina Pensiero (of Umberto, The Dumb and Ugly Club). Gina & her band released their very first full-length Mis-En-Scene back in June via Flux Factory . The album is available now on iTunes & it includes 13 gnarly melodies ranging from heart-wrenching testimonials to smart and snappy power pop. Here's a small tease to please your eardrum. "June's Disappointment" | download [...]
Grab-bag Thursday is always my favorite day, and a few of these songs have me grinning from ear to ear, especially the cover of one of my favorite songs All My Friends . I'm even more excited that I get to share them with you. Enjoy! A. The Main Drag - All My Friends (LCD Soundsystem Cover) ( Alt: YSI ) There are few songs that hit me like a load of bricks, and even fewer songs that can stop me completely. I could be at work, making breakfast or breathing , [...]
