Here's the thing about lists. Just when you think you've completed one, and you've sent it out into the world, you start to remember all of the things you left off of it. Here are 10 more songs I love about places I love or would love to visit one day. "On a Bus to St. Cloud" Trisha Yearwood She's actually referring to St. Cloud, Minnesota, but I like to pretend she's singing about the one in Florida, where I graduated from high school. [...]
A-Trak goes Robot Rock routine @ Miasto Cypel, Warsaw 11.05.2012 Recorded at Miasto Cypel opening night in Warsaw on 11th May 2012 Sorry for poor sound quality of the beginning part.
9 years ago tonight I saw Godspeed You! Black Emperor (again!) at the Warsaw in Brooklyn. Jackie-o Motherfucker opened. Although the setlist wasn't as good as the first night of the band's two-night stay at the club, it did include a great rendition of "The Dead Flag Blues (outro)". During the encore, members of the [...]
Wriggling over to Rough Trade like a snake fresh off a plane , Sharon Van Etten dozily scribbles an autograph or two, still patently enwrapped in a thick fug of jetlag. Her guitar equally discomposed by the shift in timezone, although it dips in and out of tune with fanciful perfection during her succinct set that's coaxed exclusively from magnum opus Tramp (it hangs off nigh on every record rack here) she is, this evening, consummately supreme. Wilting buds entrapped in the headstock of her Jaguar, Van Etten is but blossoming and it's a crude yet vivid joy [...]
![[Ones To Watch] – Introducing – Silver Tongues](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4060745_lg.jpg)
Tweet Sometimes an album catches you a bit off-guard. Sometimes every second track on an album catches you off-guard. That's certainly what happened with me on listening to Silver Tongues ' "Black Kite" , but it's cool: I like surprises. Things get off to a great start with the album opener, "Highways" . I can't be the only person who hears that big, two-chord drone and thundering percussion (read foot-stomping and hand-clapping) and thinks of Joy [...]
[Photos courtesy of Jon Melnick. See his Flickr stream [ HERE ]] Music is passion. Music is anger. Music is triumph. Music is sorrow. Music is love. Somehow a Fucked Up show manages to incorporate them all. To love Fucked Up is to understand the wonder and beauty of the clean, rising chords of "Let Her Rest", the multilayered, joyous dueling-guitar attack of "Running On Nothing", and the gravel-scrubbed squall of incomparable frontman Damian "Pink Eyes" Abraham's vocals. What makes sense about a Toronto band with an absolutely crack rhythm section, who puts out double-LP rock [...]
DOWNLOAD: Marvelous Darlings - "I Don't Wanna Go To The Party" Ben Cook with Fucked Up at House of Vans ( more by Chris La Putt ) Pink Eye took to the [Brooklyn stage with his child on his shoulders before ripping through the recent opus David Comes to Life in its entirety. The energy comprised by this band is nearly unmatched by most other acts today. Aggressive vocals, lightning drumming, and shredding guitar blasts make up the concept masterpiece that unfolded live before [...]
On 11/11/11 I was invited to dj at the 11th anniversary of Staat, one of Holland's top creative agencies run by the one and only Jochem Leegstra. Set in a car park converted for the occasion in exhibition hall and club, complete with booming system, disco lights, the obligatory free bar and cloak room, the [...]
words & photos by Andrew Frisicano Fucked Up @ Le Poisson Rouge Fucked Up played the first of two NYC shows running through their 2011 77-minute opus David Comes to Life . The band accomplished the feat, all four sides of it, on Le Poisson Rouge's in-the-round stage, with the Calder Quartet on a rectangular platform behind them providing delicate string interludes. The performance, which comes right after questions about the band's future, was one [...]
Recommended Show: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2011 FUCKED UP & TITUS ANDRONICUS @ WARSAW 261 Driggs Ave Brooklyn, NY 11222 $16, 8PM Why does Warsaw seem like a more appropriate venue for Fucked Up ? We don't know. It does seem a little large for them, but it should still be a great show.

In case you hadn't been paying close attention to the UK house scene recently, London-based producer Blawan has been stirring up quite a bit of noise in 2011, earlier on in the year with the retro-tinged hit "Getting Me Down" and more recently with "What You Do With What You Have", which quickly became a highlight among many DJ sets, including James Blake's popular BBC Essential Mix from last month. He also also recently released the Bohla EP on R&S Records, who enlisted him for this exclusive track for their new label compilation titled IOTDXI . [...]
Warsaw, originally uploaded by Southcoasting.The little red and yellow trams made me very happy. A great city.

Words by Rick Moslen When you meet a new friend, it's customary to ask, "where are you from?" The same applies when discovering a new band. Learning that Bjork exploded from Iceland or that The Flaming Lips hailed from the blue-collared Oklahoma or that Ziggy Stardust was from Mars helps one understand the music on a greater level. A band's location held greater significance before the arrival of the ole' internets, because musicians within local scenes influenced each other, as opposed to these days when we just have Radiohead [...]

Many people like to watch people while they're asleep. I usually consider that a couple of steps too close to the border of Creepville, I prefer observing commuters, travellers and drifters on public transport. Nikita Kyzmenko , a Polish cinematographer, does too. He photographs loved ones and strangers while watching them on the bus. And anyone on a (thought) track. Whether they're making plans or recovering from the dreams they wish they never had we can only guess, but Kyzmenko makes it his duty to capture the moments when fellow passengers get lost in thought. His priority is catching the light and [...]
