Here are some photos from last night's Echoplex gig featuring Useless Keys, who were stellar, and Imaad Wasif with Two Part Beast. The intensity of Imaad's set simply cannot be captured on film. Useless Keys : [...]
Imaad Wasif brings his blues-driven psychedelic rock to the Echoplex tonight, and I'm crossing my fingers that Adam Garcia and Bob Bruno (Two Part Beast) are joining him. Wasif's band is exceptional on stage and adds so much energy. The Voidist (Tee Pee) is out now and can be purchased here . Also on the bill are Useless Keys, the Growlers and slow motion psych-rockers Dead Meadow. There's something here for everyone. [...]
[Happy birthday to Neil Young. Happy show-going to you, on a busy Thursday night:] The lineup of the night is surely at the Echoplex, where shoegazey psych-rockers Dead Meadow headline. Imaad Wasif and the Growlers — each of whom recently released new albums — support, as does Useless Keys , who are finishing up new recordings that will probably see release in January. ... Jonesing for "Santa Monica"? Art Alexakis has a new lineup surrounding him in Everclear (the new album [...]
Ray Davies Appears at the Orpheum on Saturday Night I didn't get up to as much as I'd hoped last week, but did catch Julian Casablancas and the Happy Hollows at Spaceland. Casablancas didn't do anything to win me back, but most of the crowd seemed really into it. I'll definitely be at Ray Davies this Saturday and I'll most likely check out more of the Happy Hollows tonight. Monday 11/9/09 [Pick of the Night] [...]

inside Karen O is a wild thing (as singer for the Grammy-nominated Yeah Yeah Yeahs , her wild thing is in your face, vulnerable, obnoxious, tender and exciting). to Oscar-nominated Where the Wild Things Are director Spike Jonze , however, Karen O and her music possess something of a child-like innocence, a guileless charm that put her exactly on the right emotional wavelength to sonically capture the film, be it a tender moment or a wild rumpus. to compose the music, O enlisted friends and fellow musicians she believed had a musical [...]

Thursday, November 12th Dead Meadow Imaad Wasif The Growlers Useless Keys @ The Echoplex
One last gargantuan batch of photos from an exhausting, exhaustive week of NYC showgoing. On Friday Jessica Amaya joined us at Doveman's record release party at the Elevated Hole, a Chelsea loft owned by the Yale English Dept. chair Michael Warner. The room was a perfect foil for Doveman's candlelit Conformist material, along with guest performances by Sean Lennon , Bryce Dessner , Dawn Landes , Charlotte Kemp Muhl , Jennifer Charles , and Justin Bonds . Afterward she trekked to Pianos for the Terrible Records showcase, featuring [...]
The CMJ Music Marathon and Film Festival invades New York City this week. Here's the latest from PopMatters' writers on the beat. Words and Pictures by Stephen Stirling Imaad Wasif Bowery Ballroom, New York City Imaad Wasif is chock full of two things: Hair and love. In case you weren't cetain of the latter half of that combo, Wasif took the time to remind the crowd at Bowery Ballroom...after every song: "I love the city. I love being insane. I love being insanely in love." Though Wasif was somewhat awkward while trying to make conversation with the [...]
Spike Jonze has taken a 10-line children's picture book and turned it into a full-feature film. Which is quite a feat in and of itself, but I think that he does so successfully, even if it doesn't really translate into a movie that kids will want to sit through. They did a great job developing this little 10-line plot into a pretty fascinating full-fledged story. They did a great job of inviting the reader into the world of the "Wild Things" and I quickly found myself very invested into the each of the characters. Unfortunately though, Jonze left [...]
Imaad Wasif | Pianos (Planetary Group Day Party) | October 23, 2009 While Superdrag played downstairs at Pianos, Imaad Wasif was playing above them. Splitting my time, I didn't get to see all of Wasif's performance, but what I saw was great. The former Yeah Yeah Yeahs touring guitarist played by himself with an acoustic guitar. Check out more photos from this solo set after the jump. www.imaadwasif.com | www.teepeerecords.com
Recommended Show: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2009 CARPARK TENTH ANNIVERSARY PARTY @ CAMEO GALLERY 93 North 6th Street Brooklyn, NY 11211 $8, 8PM In just a few more hours CMJ will be over, and we can (mostly) forget about it for the 360 days or so. However, it appears that the wild and craziest day is still in front of us. I grabbed what I think is a good list of most day and night shows below--I will scour for my daily "day party" post just to make sure. Not only are there a shit load of [...]
Os f'esquinhos têm vindo a marcar presença assídua aqui no nAnha, tendo por isso ganho direito a uma rubrica própria. O que, além de lhes dar algum status na hieraquiazinha das postas neste pasquim (passam a ter uma categoria própria ali nos post-its ), resolve-me rapidamente o imbróglio de ter que inventar um título de cada vez que saía uma nova fornada. Seja como for, os f'esquinhos estão de parabéns! E são tantos... A Storm of Light - "Tempest" [...]
Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are means so much to so many generations that Spike Jonze's film adaptation couldn't be just a typical kids' movie — it had to be a movie for the entire family. And on every part of the production, Jonze worked with artists so close to him that they might as well have been a family: while bringing the book's story to the big screen, he developed a tight friendship with Sendak; for Where the Wild Things Are's music, Jonze recruited former lover and frequent collaborator Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. In turn, [...]
Well look at that, It's already that time of year again: C - M - J ! Version 2009 to be precise.

Just as with prior CMJ and SXSW previews, we listed only one show for each recommended band. Most of the bands listed here are playing several – if [...]
