![[MIX] TBE Presents: The 2011 Summer Mega-Mix!](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3672105_lg.jpg)
Cover Art by DARTS I don't wanna hear one peep about how "summer is almost over!" or "but it's not even sunny where I am" or "this mix is late" or "my eyes are melting from that album art." Summer is a frame of mind and TBE is about to whip yours into shape! Now that you have grown tired of your own summer mix as well as all the ones that other blogs put out months ago, it's time to get the summer mix to not only end all summer mixes, but [...]

Your Youth was all over my year end lists, and I had a lot of people tell me how much they liked the tracks I posted from them. They're playing at Union Pool tonight and it's free. So brush that snow off and head over to Union and Metropolitan because there's really no excuse to miss this. MP3: "Small Sparks" - Your Youth
While it lacks the necessary killer chorus to raise it into the pantheon of greats 'Diamonds' has an exuberant dash and one that should appeal to those sold on a sweetly tuned chord ensemble. Not your typical Brooklyn band either and Your Youth might really be better plying their trade down the sunniest dives in [...]

I almost didn't make this list. I mean, come on. It's New Year's Eve. No one cares anymore. Everyone's just getting psyched for Ariel Pink or Titus tonight (you should definitely go to one of those shows, by the way), and looking forward to the whole music cycle starting over again in 2011. I swear I started trying to make this list at least two weeks ago, but as I was getting closer and closer to posting it, I started dreading it more and more. I realized that I didn't listen to enough music this year. Seriously, I [...]
Here it is-the last Sunday Sampler of 2010! Enjoy the MP3s! [tweetmeme] Given the volume of music available for consideration on One Track Mind, we invariably have to pass on a lot of tasty morsels. In a desire to share even more great, free music with you, the Sunday Sampler offers a handful of tracks without the usual critical and biographical write-up. Less talk, more tunes. Impossible Hair "You Can Own" from Toast a Dozen (on [...]

Welcome to The New York Rockmarket's end of the year list spectacular. This is when I talk about how lists are fun but ultimately meaningless, and apologize for not posting the last few days because I've been compiling my lists. This is also where I talk about favorites as opposed to best, like I did last year . All of those things still apply. I'm making two lists this year: Favorite Songs and Favorite Albums. I'm going to attempt to skew my albums list a bit more towards the critical, but this songs list is just straight-up about fun, beautiful, [...]
BEST OF 2010 : The album isn't dead. But, like the dinosaurs, it may not outlast its smaller, warm-blooded colleagues. In 2010, the EP became something more than a tour curio or a year-end reminder of a band's existence. For bands unable or unwilling to make the artistic and financial investment of a full-length release, the EP became the perfect format: long enough to showcase what a band could do without being too short to pass off as a one-MP3 wonder and just right for self-releasing and giving away free, as so many groups chose to do this year. For [...]
Now this is a house party. Take a band playing their rad new tune (like "Diamond", from Brooklyn's own upstart indie rock outfit Your Youth), dozens and dozens of young hip kids enjoying each other's company and then, er, well, then duct tape bottles of alcohol to their hands making them all but useless save [...]
Brooklyn power trio Your Youth revealed their most excellent new video for the song "Diamond" yesterday on AOL Spinner. As the band's singer/guitarist AJ Wolosenko told Spinner, "the song was pretty much screaming for a 'party video,' but while we love that kind of s- to death, we didn't want ...

I'm still slogging through my court-ordered community service and this week, in lieu of picking up trash on the side of the highway, I have elected to disseminate an instructional video on How Not To Throw A Responsible Grown-Up Party , as dramatized by Brooklyn-based trio Your Youth . Here are some talking points: The appearance of Colt45 in the opening frame should be a hint, this is not a responsible grown-up party. Not when 2008 Chalone Chardonnay is readily available. Notice the lack of bruschetta. [...]

Filed under: Video , Exclusive "The song was pretty much screaming for a 'party video,' but while we love that kind of s--- to death, we didn't want to repeat what we'd all seen a million times," Your Youth vocalist/guitarist AJ Wolosenko tells Spinner of the Brooklyn trio's video for 'Diamond.' "We were psyched when Jay [Buim] came through with a bit of a spin on it -- the absurdity of inviting all our friends to play Edward 40 Hands (which [...]

It's time to face facts. You have some tough choices to make during the day on Friday. First of all, there's some great NYRM-approved bands playing at Cake Shop. Rooftop Vigilantes, Your Youth, and Yellow Ostrich. If that were a show during normal times, it would in and of itself be a can't-miss. I'm pretty sure this also has free Sierra Nevada. Then there's the monster BrooklynVegan show at Public Assembly, which also has free drinks and food, I believe. John Vanderslice, Times New Viking, Dom, Ty Segal, Oberhofer, Lower Dens, and The Luyas. That's oh-my-gosh-are-you-kidding-me- good. The Impose day show [...]
Earlier today, we announced our CMJ showcase. Next Wednesday, October 20th at The Marlin Room at Webster Hall we will be hosting Your Youth, Grooms, P.S. I Love You, and one very "Bloody Special Guest" (stay tuned to The Daily Rind when we announce the guest early next week). In addition to this showcase, we [...]
In a little more than a week's time we will be CMJ-ing our asses off once again! Hopping from club to club, catching the buzziest buzz bands of them all, and sipping on as much free booze as our livers can take! Of course the week wouldn't be complete without our own day time party!... Read More
