How did New Yorkers know to panic over the weather in the 19th century? How could they know to run through the streets in terror at the upcoming snowpocylpse/blizzardtastrophe if there was no brightly colored Accuweather radar or a friendly weather person with perfectly coiffed hair? In the 1880s, New Yorkers turned to one man -- the Brooklyn-born Sergeant Elias B. Dunn (at right, with his dashing moustache, 1902). He was so trusted for his weather predictions -- more accurate than an almanac! -- that he was given the almost devout nickname of [...]

Filed under: News , MP3 , New Music , Exclusive One minute you're Sean Sullivan working a day job in New York City's fashion biz and playing guitar in an indie rock band called Sam Champion . Seemingly, the next moment you're sailing off to Jamaica to star in a movie with Norah Jones ('Wah Do Dem') and a record label is asking you to follow up your fun reggae-tinged solo single, 'Easy Street,' with a full album. Such has been the whirlwind year for Brooklyn-based Sullivan, [...]
London troubadour Ed Harcourt gets a lot of mileage out of his piano-based compositions, sonically and emotionally. The onetime Mercury Prize nominee, whose last album of new material, "The Beautiful Lie," finally came out in the U.S. a year ago (delayed two years by the label limbo he was in after being dropped by Astralwerks), in May released a new EP, "Russian Roulette." Its six songs, almost all home recordings, find Harcourt's orchestral pop at its most adventurous, and sharpest lyrically. The singer-songwriter visits on Monday for a show at cozy Bordello in downtown L.A.; the Langley [...]
Sean Bones (ne Sullivan) is probably best known as a member of psychedelic indie band Sam Champion, but is now set to release his solo debut, Rings , on July 21st. For his new material, Bones focuses on a more reggae-influenced pop sound that, has he said, "just happened." Several songs from the upcoming record are available at his MySpace page , including the breezy "Easy Street" and the groovy, "Sugar In My Spoon." “I'm not closing any doors,” says Sullivan of his past projects, “but when the idea to record my own reggae single [...]
The clock is ticking, less than five days and Super Bowl XLIII is upon us! What does this have to do with music?

So keep reading to find out which brave souls remain undaunted by the seven-point spread, who hates the desert, who loves whiskey, who's holding a grudge against Pittsburgh, who loathes industry, who got some help from [...]

Sam Champion 'Kind of' Break Up
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive This past Saturday, Sam Champion took the stage at Brooklyn's Union Hall for what was their first show in more than a year. And it was also, possibly, their last. The band didn't really make a big to-do over what could very well be their final bow and their official website merely announced the gig as "We're back." But a statement the band released last Friday intimated quite the opposite. In a Q&A format, the band responded to "Did Sam Champion break-up?" [...]

Sam Bones: "Rings" album review
There are just certain sounds and certain albums that scream out summertime to you. It's quite possible that Sam Champion guitarist Sean Bones has made one of those albums with his new solo record Rings (out July 21st).Breaking from the indie rock tradition of Sam Champion, Bones has made a seemingly effortless transition into reggae-infused indie on the new album. As an onlooker it would be

Honorary Mentions of 2008
There were some albums that just didn't quite do it for us as a whole, but maybe they had that one really good song that we played on repeat.
