I'm off to Seattle for about two weeks, and I don't think I'll have much chance to post much between then and now. And I was just getting the hang of it too.. but to make it up to you, here's a bunch of random MP3s and some news from Thunderbirds Are Now! (Get the title of the post, or is it still too weird?) I'm trying to do this quickly so I can go do some late minute packing, but here goes. Seattle Mix Tape! A random mix of mp3s from [...]

I heart the McCarren Pool Party! Despite it being insanely hot and the sets being about half an hour late, I still managed to have a lot of fun- though it wasn't without spurts of boredom waiting around. The first band up was the Bon Savants. We hung around for a bit while they played, but eventually moved off to the sides for a walk around. The group was ok, but the music didn't stand out at all. They sounded a bit like everyone else. I'm [...]

This week appears like it will be a little bit lighter than the past couple of weeks and the next couple of weeks in the New York music scene. There's fewer top releases this week, fewer shows, and I think that's fairly good news for me.

Here's what they are. Monday: I was never a massive Get Up Kids fan, [...]

I don't normally post so many songs at once but I'm in a buoyant mood and I've been listening to these songs a lot which may have helped. This music combined with being off work today and a busy weekend ahead taking in Saturday at Oxegen has probably attributed to my sunny disposition. Plus Animal Collective and the Go! Team are playing and I only got a ticket yesterday so it's fresh anticipation that's got me in a good mood. If anybody is in Limerick tonight, head along to the Trinity Rooms where Super Extra Bonus Party will [...]
Having a band name like Pretty Girls Make Graves can be an occupational hazard, lumping you into the Emo Pit of Despair. PGMG however, are not emo. Nor are they rock and roll. Nor indie. In fact, they are nothing, a fact highlighted throughout this completely uninspiring LP, which sees them meander from Be Your Own Pet style skirt-rock to classical ambient in the shadow of Sigur Ros. The latter, namely Related posts: Pretty Girls Make Graves - All Medicated Genius Pretty Girls Make Graves hail from Seattle . They [...]
