Another day, another list, and before you know it, it's already February. The obligatory chocolate giving holiday is just a couple of days away and everyone is seeing hearts. For our Friday's list, what better way to welcome Valentine's than to showcase some songs by people who've taken the term 'let's make beautiful music together' - literally and figuratively. Here now, is my list of songs from indie music duos who share a partnership that's more than musical - 1. Viva Voce - Mixtape=Love [...]

I'm a bit behind today. Sorry for that, but I have spent the morning scrolling through all the various blogs and websites that attended last night's Charlotte Gainsbourg show at The Bell House and I kind of feel like the coverage of the event has been blown out of proportion. Now I understand that last night was Charlotte's first ever New York performance and likely her first ever show for paying customers, but just because of the special nature of the performance and the fact that Wayne Coyne showed up to watch the show does not make it the greatest [...]

Charlotte Gainsbourg played the first of a two-night stand at the Bell House Tuesday, and already the facts and fiction are merging something fierce. Was it her first public show ever ? Maybe. Was Wayne Coyne in the audience?? Yes. Was Beck there? No. What's in store for Wednesday's encore? Sorry, we can't say for sure... but what we can tell you was Sahara Shrestha was there for EF and got some great pictures, see below for the candids from Gainsbourg's set as well as openers Dean & Britta . For those lucky [...]
Charlotte Gainsbourg , with full band, played her first of two shows at The Bell House in Brooklyn last night (1/19). Beck was not there, but Wayne Coyne was (in the audience). Not counting Letterman (which she already taped and I think airs Friday), Charlotte will perform four shows total while she's visiting . The final gig happens on January 23rd at Hiro Ballroom. The rumor at the show was that it was her first public show ever - not just her first US or NYC show, [...]

The opener for the first night is pop duo Dean and Britta ; the second night's is Francophilic Brooklyn band Dinosaur Feathers (who have other dates, below, and their [...]
Frank Yang It struck me about mid-way through Basia Bulat's concert at Trinity-St. Paul's on Saturday night that though it was an album release show for her eagerly-anticipated new album in Heart Of My Own , the album wasn't going to be released for another couple of weeks yet - January 26, to be exact - and as such, many/most of the just under 800 people in the sell-out crowd had never heard the new songs. An obvious point, certainly, but one that I had overlooked since I'd been secretly [...]

Monday: Dinosaur Jr. @ Brooklyn Bowl 8pm $20 [ tix ] If you're not trapped on your catch watching hours 3 and 4 of this year's "24" you should probably be at Brooklyn Bowl to get your mind blown by Dinosaur Jr. I saw these guys a few weeks back at Terminal 5 and they were pretty great, I'm sure in the less cavernous Brooklyn Bowl they'll be even better.
