Jason Anderson | Cake Shop | November 16, 2009 Monday night at Cake Shop wasn't just We Have Hooks for Hands first of three New York area shows, it was also the third night of Jason Anderson's weekly residency (he'll be back on the 2rd for the another night). I've seen him before but never with a full band. Though he's still full of energy, the full band doesn't quite capture the quirky antics of his solo performance. Check out photos from the night below. [...]

After releasing two records and a half (given that "Something/Everything" was credited to Jason Anderson/Wolf Colonel) under the "Wolf Colonel" moniker, Jason Anderson decided it was high time to use his own name and not to hide behind a band's name. This decision lead him to the release of his most sincere, complete, and satisfying [...]
Perhaps another gem from director Wes Anderson (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums), The Fantastic Mr. Fox opens on November 13th (hey, that's tomorrow night...). Based on the book by Roald Dahl, Mr. Fox features the voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, and Jason Schwartzman. If you are going to see the movie, let us know what you think in the comments!

Fantastic Mr. Fox is truly fantastic. I can't claim to remember the Roald Dahl book perfectly, but the film certainly offers a fun and corky plot line, with witty foxes whom have human like characteristics and lifestyles. Wes Anderson took adaptations and visions both from what a kid and an adult would take from a story such as Roald Dahl's 'Fantastic Mr. Fox'. Mr. Fox (voiced by George Clooney ) and Mrs. Fox ( Meryl Streep ) are middle aged-married foxes, coping with Mr. Fox's unhappiness [...]
Its Remembrance Day in Canada, Veteran's Day in the US. Having lived in both countries, Canadians take Remembrance Day very, very seriously, much more so than in the US. Perhaps it is because Canada doesn't have a formal Memorial Day like the US does. November 11 is recognized internationally as Armistice Day commemorating the formal end of World War I in 1918. Most people in Canada don bright red poppies on their left jacket lapel, above the heart. Many will read the poem In Flanders Fields [...]
Filed under: The Hit List Perfectly matching a song with a scene is nothing new (see: Scorsese, Martin ), but Wes Anderson takes the movie soundtrack to new levels of artistry. In all his films, the young writer-director displayed a record geek's ability to wow viewers with a song that's not only enjoyable but, at its best, makes a scene instantly memorable. With the release of ' Fantastic Mr. Fox ,' Anderson's first animated feature, Spinner picked the director's 10 best music moments. [...]

MP3: Jason Anderson - Tonight #19 - Jason Anderson - Tonight ECA Records 2007 Joey On Tonight: Jason Anderson is New England to me and seeing how much I moved around this decade, it was important for me to have a piece of home in some capacity, even if I was running from it. So there's that. Then there is the fact that Jason is so fun and positive and this record "Tonight" has the gang vocals which are a staple of [...]
DOWNLOAD: Black Cobra - "Negative Reversal" (MP3) Sludge-metal band Black Cobra released their third full-length CD, Chronomega , at the end of September and this release marks the band's Southern Lord debut. As a two-piece band, guitarist/vocalist Jason Landrian and drummer Rafael Martinez make a hell of a lot of noise and producer Billy Anderson (High on Fire, The Melvins, Sleep) gives the band a heavy, brutal sound. Black Cobra's sound fits well with some of the past and current California-based metal bands as they combine [...]
[Hey, it's Sam Sparro's birthday on Saturday; shouldn't there be a dance party somewhere? Here's how the weekend shapes up ...] Today: Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas starts his monthlong Friday night residency at downtown's Palace Theatre to showcase the music from his solo debut "Phrazes for the Young." The synth-heavy material, with its big pop choruses, is a departure from the Strokes' garage-rock, but it sounded good at his warm-up show Monday night . Rainbow Arabia opens. ... It's the final night [...]
Bottle rockets and smoke bombs lying dead on the sidewalk black marks on the concrete now but they were beautiful last night the picture of our life can we make this what it was? everything is right, everything's wrong sparklers only burn for so long ...watch the light dance in the dark 'til it's gone sparklers only burn for so long... Seattle's Rocky Votolato specializes in the kind of hushed, pensive songs that [...]
World's Greatest Ghosts aren't the type of nerds you think they are. IMAGE: Jason Quigley For a band that's frequently associated with all things geeky, Jesse and Emily Laney's North Portland house hardly resembles an ode to Dungeons Dragons. Despite the odd thrift store gnome or tchotchke—and the Darth Vader helmet resting on a keyboard in the front room—it's relatively tame for a group like World's Greatest Ghosts, one that sings about evil monsters, magic potions and secret elixirs. Not until you walk down the basement steps [...]
The Happy Hollows Monday Residency at Spaceland Starts This Week Sorry for the lack of posts, thanks for sticking with me. I caught Kris Kristofferson at the Walt Disney Concert Hall last night. You've got to be a fan of his poetry, because he's not a dynamic performer. That said, he's a legend and I was happy to see him for a second time. I've missed all the recent "secret" shows, but there are a few more this week... Monday 11/2/09 [...]

Recommended Show: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2009 FUCK BUTTONS, GROWING, & THESE ARE POWERS @ BOWERY BALLROOM 6 Delancey Street New York, NY 10002 $15, 7:30PM With a few residencies starting out tonight (Jason Anderson plays a few consecutive Mondays at Cake Shop, Noah and the Whale starts their first of three days at the Mercury Lounge), I sort of felt like I had to give the nod to a one off show, Fuck Buttons at the Bowery Ballroom. What actually makes this show stand out is the strength of the two openers, Growing and These Are [...]
