![Mock Orange - Captain Love - Tigertrap Records [Album Review]](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2087772_lg.jpg)
Hearing Captain Love made me want to HUP-two-three-four, stand at attention and snap a million salutes because it's so rare for me to take such pleasure from a rock album with pop persuasions. Mock Orange present a rare batch of influences before the listener and DARE him/her to deal with it, up to and including: A resemblance, in both the lead and back-up vocals, to How it Feels / Rising [...]

Recommended Show: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2009 PEELANDER-Z & MATH THE BAND @ MAXWELL'S 1039 Washington St Hoboken, NJ 07030 $10, 9PM I normally wouldn't recommend a show outside of the five boroughs, and this will be a trek for any city-dwellers. However, with both Peelander-Z and Math the Band on the bill tonight's show at Maxwell's is sure to be an insane experience. Mancino @ Union Hall Clutch @ The Fillmore TV Ghost @ Silent Barn Ludlow Lions @ Union Pool Indian Jewelry @ Cake Shop Children @ Knitting Factory Two Man [...]
EAR FARM is a very ethical place to work. For instance, it has a long-standing policy that the bands of employees will not be written about in any promotional, or critical manner. So while EAR FARM used to write about Goes Cube, we no longer do because Matt (our fearless editor) now plays bass in the band, and I (guitar/vocals of Goes Cube) recently joined the EAR FARM staff. Thanks to this policy, I can't just turn this column into one giant advertisement for Goes Cube. I can't use it as a soapbox from which to tell you how [REDACTED] [...]

Matt Tyson, the main man behind the incomparable New York City music blog Ear Farm, has long been a friend of Pop Tarts Suck Toasted. He was part of the original After the Jump gang, and like most of us New York bloggers he could be found fairly regularly at all the same shows we all attend. A few months ago news came down that Matt Frey was leaving Goes Cube and was going to be replaced by Matt Tyson and we were all thrilled for Matt. That said we wanted to find out what it was like for a [...]
This is called the Slowcast because there are so many songs and, more commonly, whole albums out there which I took ages and ages to get into, and for no really obvious reason. There are several reasons, I guess: how familiar a sound is, your emotional state at the time, what your mates are listening to, how popular something is and stuff like that. I know I've admitted plenty of times in the past that I have a habit of refusing to like things if they get too popular. That sounds ludicrous, but it's not exactly a conscious [...]
Recommended Show: THURSDAY, MAY 28, 2009 CRIME NOVELS & ISLAND'S EYELIDS @ P.P.O.W. 511 West 25th Street Room 301 New York, NY 10001 FREE, 7PM This is supposedly a benefit for Showpaper, but it's also supposedly free. Don't ask me how that is going to work! But it's a good lineup in a rather odd location (a gallery in Chelsea). Additional goings on are listed below. Mancino @ Union Hall Tyvek @ Monster Island Dinowalrus @ Red Star Bar Sean Bones @ Mercury Lounge Andrew W.K. @ Santos Party House [...]
Goes Cube is set to release their full-length debut, Another Day Has Passed , on May 12th via The End Records and will hit the road in May/June to promote the release. In related news, the band has announced that they will be amicably parting ways with founding member, and close friend, Matt Frey. Here is the official announcement: Matthew Frey (above right), co-founder and bassist of Goes Cube will be stepping down from his bass duties in Goes Cube. His final show will be 5/14/09 at the [...]

Monday: Screaming Females, Shellshag, + Jeff: the Brotherhood @ Death By Audio 8pm $tba With the hype surrounding their new release, Power Move , and their inability to sit still you're probably going to get a lot of chance to see Screaming Females in the next few months. You should probably try and take advantage of as many of those opportunities as possible though. So get here tonight! Screaming Females - "Starving Dog" Tuesday: Drink Up Buttercup @ Bruar Falls I'm pretty sure [...]

Da quindici anni tu sei "lo stronzo", per un motivo e per tanti allo stesso tempo ma mi spiace, da quindici anni ti chiamo così. Non è per sfottò, nè per piaggeria nè perchè mi consideri un benpensante e non valuti il suicidio tra le vie d'uscita accettabili (non la penso a questa maniera) ma tu per me sei uno stronzo. Sei uno stronzo perchè ogni generazione sembra chissà per quale motivo debba avere il suo mito morto e tu non dovevi esserlo, tu dovevi invecchiare, magari ritirarti a vita privata a scrivere racconti, magari a fare [...]
Quest'anno io il festival di Sanremo non l'ho proprio visto, nemmeno un minuto. E, considerando che avrei dovuto scrivere un post sulla nba, la sto prendendo davvero alla lontana. Ma ci arrivo. Tra l'altro non è che non l'ho visto il festival perchè sono troppo snob: sì ok, non mi piace mica, è una palla, ma sicuramente ho impiegato il mio tempo in modi ben peggiori, come leggere libri sui ninja e guardare clip di Derrick Rose su Youtube. Così quando un amico mi ha chiesto "hai visto Arisa?" io ho fatto la figura da idiota del secolo. [...]
"Sapessi com'è strano, sentirsi invisibile a Milano" Lo scorso anno era uscito un po' in sordina il terzo disco solista di Diego Mancino "L'evidenza", da cui è tratto questo video di "Milano e l'impossibile", quasi una risposta attuale e malinconica alla celebre "Innamorati a Milano" (ricordate Memo Remigi? O forse la versione di Ornella Vanoni?). Curiosa la storia di Mancino. Classe '70, da ragazzo suona in gruppi tra il punk e il rock ma il suo nome comincia a circolare verso i 35 anni, quando con il secondo album solista "Cose che cambiano tutto" [...]
Here are mp3s by some artists playing live this week: "Baby Jesus" by Screaming Females "Fifty Fourteeners" by The Secret Life Of Sofia "Here's When" by The Soundscapes "Anarchitect" by Susu "To Live And Die In The Airport Lounge" by My Teenage Stride "L'amour (Or Less)" by Mancino "Family Doctor" by Taxi Taxi "But Ms. Love" by Unsacred Hearts [...]
Thanks to everyone who came out to the show we helped organize on Saturday. It was a huge success all around. Gold Streets played one of the tightest, most powerful sets we've heard from them in a while, which is saying something - they remain one of the most solid groups we know. And Mancino - unfortunately forced to drastically cut their set down after some technical difficulties with their Rhodes - managed to floor the packed room with four still as-yet unrecorded songs that loaded as many ideas into a tight twenty or [...]
Who chopshop (CD RELEASE) + Mancino + Gold Streets + Coyote Eyes // StereoactiveNYC Presents When Saturday, February 7, 2009 8:00pm - ? [...]
Back when we were first starting to book bands for the Hot Rocks Party , we had Mancino booked to play a date and asked them if there was anyone in particular they'd like to play with. Their suggestion was chopshop . After listening to the band's impressive first demos, we were interested and invited them to join the bill. And after hearing them play live at the show, we were convinced these guys were one extremely talented group of musicians. Eventually, they played a couple more StereoactiveNYC-sponsored events, but then, unfortunately, had to [...]
