I fell in love with Persephone's Bees more than ten years ago at what was once the greatest venue in the world, Albany's Ivy Room. Queen Bee, Angelina, has the perfect mix of Russian chanteuse and Debbie Harry. She plays a fierce carnival keyboard with tremendous presence. Always at her side, Tom is everything you could ever want in a guitarist. Once the Ivy Room sold out, it wasn't long before my favorite local band hit the road for NYC. New York has been good to the Bees. [...]
Happy Jew year! New season of TV coincides with the Jewish New Year. Coincindence?

Here are the 11 Best Little Boxes: 1. Elvis Costello 2. Melvina Reynolds 3. Man Man 4. Jenny
In a time when many of our favorite rock musicians are turning to their laptops and experimenting with electronic music, just the opposite is true for Moby . The superstar DJ is dropping the turntables for now and picking up a guitar, according to Rock it Out! Blog . Of course, playing guitar is nothing new for Moby, but here's what is new: he's started a metal band. The band's name - Diamondsnake - is comically metal, as is almost everything else about the band's roots. According to the band's website , Moby [...]
Coachella was announced today. Pretty good. Pretty much on the other side of the state. And four months away. Musicians work far more often than that. Why don't you seen them cold and indoors? Sorry that I don't have Grace Jones to offer you, but here are other things! Wednesday, January 20th Winston Tong, The Grave Brothers [...]

Une de ces chansons pop parfaites, surgie de la petite tête d'une Russe aux influences invraisemblables, à la tête des Persephone's Bees , qui a sorti en 2006 leur second album intitulé Notes From The Underworld sur lequel figure ce "Nice Day" (que vous devez avoir entendu pour une pub des Pages Jaunes). Plus de chansons sur leur MySpace [...]

It's been a few days. . .Since we last talked, we went to The Browns game on Sunday (with an amazing view, as seen in our picture taken above) , witnessing a great game as they went on to beat Houston 27-17, making our record 7-4 for this season. Neither of us can believe the Browns are doing this well, it is awesome that they stopped sucking -- and it was about time too!! While on the subject of Cleveland sports, we've been watching The Cavs game this [...]

It's been a long week to say the least. Yesterday while driving home the little 'Check Engine' light came on. GRRRRR... I guess that about says it all. Luckily today is Friday and it's basically the weekend(sorry again to you weekend workers). Time to kick back and listen to some great music, paint, socialize, do jumping jacks, enter a hot dog eating contest, learn how to fly, and do my laundry. Time to mix it up a bit. mp3: Rick Ross vs Simian Mobile Disco - Hustlin' Hustler (Cadence Weapon Hi-Speed [...]

SXSW 2007 list. Yes I know it's over. but I just had time downloading the songs to make lists. This one is the nicest so it goes first. It's a late nite list with consistent sound, very sexy, and bunch of post-rock in each section. I would post more info, were it for not having a chance to carefully look at each artists webpage. But at least the list nice. Enjoy. "I. City of Love " 01. Dislike - Alone (Ufa, RUSSIA) 02. Slot - [...]
Six, or seven, weeks to go until the music starts at SXSW (March 14th), I won't be there, but I guarantee you that the buzz that'll build in the indie music community will be like a pot of strong coffee to me. Last year SXSW had a massive amount of music and the same will be true this year. You may already know that the festival for the past couple of years has hosted hundreds and hundreds of mp3s of bands that were showcaseds at Austin, although this year's showcase mp3s aren't online yet, last years are still [...]

This was going to be a collaborative post, where all of us would write about our favorite music of the year, but Ant said he didn't have enough music, and Doug has a very convincing alibi: "Hugh, I cannot believe it! You won't believe it! I wrote up my whole musical recap, and then printed it out. And since I had it printed, I figured I didn't need the digital copy anymore so I deleted it and scrubbed the hard drive. Then I bought a dog and he ate my printout. sry" [...]
