photos by Greg Cristman Sleigh Bells / !!! / "ladies night" @ SS Coachella, 12/22/2012 Here are shots from the final day of the second voyage of S.S. Coachella that went down at the end of December. Though most of the boat was a little partied out from the wild day in Jamaica (and afterparty) the day before , people got back in the spirit [...]
It's boat party time. Our pal and photographer Nicky Digital hit the high seas on the S.S. Coachella. He snapped over 350 photos during the voyage, but here are ten of our favorites with a little 411 from Mr. Digital. "I assure you that after four days of cruising in the Caribbean on board the S.S. Coachella things got weird. There were performances by PULP, Girl Talk, Simian Mobile Disco, Hot Chip, Yeasayer, !!!, Father John Misty, Black Lips, Grimes and more. Dance parties from sunset to sunrise with The Gasslamp Killer, James Murphy, [...]
Favorite Songs of 2012: Part 1 (100-51) You will have to take these list rankings with a grain of salt, because although I tried my best to accurately arrange the tracks, I change it every time I listen to one of the songs. I also only included my favorite song from each artist, so there are no doubles (except for I think one person, but they were part of two different groups). A few songs are also technically from before 2012, but they all appear on albums or [...]
Here I am, left to go last once again with my favorite songs of the year. I feel as though I listened to more in 2012 than in any other year, and my musical experience was all the better for it. More music means more candidates, which admittedly makes lists like this one tougher. But [...]
Quase quase a finalizar o ano e quase quase a finalizar o balanço de 2012, ficam por cá alguns álbuns que considerei como sendo uma verdadeira SECA, alguns mesmo até poderiam ser classificados como MAUS e outros como a decepção do ano. Como habitual e não deixando de ser caricato, alguns deles fazem parte das várias listas que muita gente elaborou sobre os grandes álbuns de 2012. Ficam
Check out my photos and review of S.S. Coachella over at Stereogum .
The S.S. Coachella sailed from Fort Lauderdale, FL to Jamaica and back between 12/19 and 12/23, along the way featuring performances from Pulp, Hot Chip, Yeasayer, and many more . Andrew Youssef was on hand to document the cruise for Stereogum. His diary is below. Check out his photos in the gallery. Read More...
#35: The Head and the Heart @ Forecastle [Original Post] I'd heard a song or two by Head and the Heart going into their show at Forecastle, but I'll admit that I was really just seeing them because there wasn't a lot of competition for their time slot at Forecastle. But just like what happens [...]
So weird to think 2012 is coming to a close. It doesn't feel like it at all, what with no Holiday break, no Christmas stuff, no New Years parties to look forward to, etc. They just don't care about New Years here in Israel. Kind of a shame...BUT what's not a shame, is how many awesome albums came out this year.So today I'm dropping the Gold Soundz pick for 10-6 and tomorrow 5-1. Originally this was a lot longer, but I didn't have time to write long things for all of them so it's just like [...]

Fashion and music are the funniest-looking twin sisters. They're always together, always kinda sloppy. Sometimes they dress up like a swan or wear a big mouse head. Together, they're always look... Continue reading "S.S. Coachella: Nail Master Class with Sleigh Bells' Alexis Krauss" >

A rainy dark day again today, but it is a warm day which makes the rain more tolerable. I need to go out to do a few errands a bit later, but I have a short list. Yesterday I had no intention of doing much, but I did. It all started with a potholder. I pulled one out of the drawer and found it had been gnawed. I was grossed out by the idea of a rodent in my kitchen drawer so I pulled out everything, threw away the gnawed and washed the washable. I scrubbed the drawer. In it [...]

Suggested NYC Concerts The Best Indie Shows Hand-picked Each Week Photo credit: Shervin It's already Hanukkah and nearly time for Christmas, which means holiday parties and time off from school and work in the very near future. In some cities, I'd imagine that this could be a slower time of year for music. Not as many bands are on tour so you don't get the big names, right? Well, this is New York City so that doesn't [...]

On Santigold 's latest album The Master Of My Make-Believe , she might've been hit or miss and delivered a paltry second album compared to her debut, but she's just dropped this two minute bomb of a track that'll appear on the HBO series Girls soundtrack. The first season of Girls was jam-packed with kickass tunes and the second season is no different, featuring tracks from Icona Pop , Belle & Sebastian , [...]
