Attending the Cabinet of Wonders is one of the smartest things you can do in New York City and definitely one of my favorites. Created by Wesley Stace (aka John Wesley Harding) , the Cabinet features his friends in music, literature, and comedy. And believe me, he has pretty amazing friends. Located at the beautiful City Winery , these shows are my one opportunity to feel like a classy grownup. This weekend's sold out Cabinet was pretty spectacular, featuring music from John Wesley Harding , Spinto Band , Punch Brothers , [...]

Without a doubt, the biggest release this week is the posthumous one from Amy Winehouse , Lioness: Hidden Treasures (pictured). It feels like the album was rushed to be put out after Winehouse's death, but don't expect to be disappointed. It will surely act as a fitting conclusion to the troubled singer's career. However, don't let this record overshadow others for the week like The Spinto Band , T-Pain , and The Silent League . There's a live album from The Cure , some comedy from Carlos Mencia , and the first [...]

Direct from The Spinto Band 's people: Besides recording an album, the band has kept busy. Since the release of their 2008 LP, Moonwink, they have been spending their time building a studio, creating a record label, and dabbling in film-soundtracks. Firstly, the studio was needed to store their collection of musical instruments/junk that had outgrown parent's basements and friend's practice spaces. The band found an abandoned chicken coop and decided to invest in renovations for their own space to record Shy Pursuit. While in the space, the boys have recorded their own LP, as well [...]

This includes five LPs, totalling 55 tracks all in. So if you're not Home Game-ing this weekend, [...]
