Photos by G. Lana Del Rey The hottest ticket in New York City on December 5, 2011 was Lana Del Rey at Bowery Ballroom. Lana Del Rey was born Lizzie Grant and was rechristened Lana Del Rey to match the sound of her music, which she self describes as a "gangster Nancy Sinatra." A fair assessments I would say but I'd also add that her sound and style have little snatches of Patsy Cline, Alanis Morrissette, Amy Winehouse and Adele also. She played a [...]

Photos by G. Art by Faile. Faile on Bowery and Houston Ding dong, that hideous JR mural on Bowery and Houston is dead! I mean no disrespect, but when the predecessors have been Kenny Scharf, Shepard Fairey, Barry McGee and Os Gemeos, JR's former mural doesn't hold a candle, according2g. Good news! Faile have replaced JR's mural and it's freakin' awesome! Below are some closeups. Faile mural - Close up. [...]

Blogs are alright. Gigs are better. Uneven Blonde have been putting the best new bands on in Sheffield for - well, it might as well be forever. And just when you thought that they couldn't do anything more, they're managed to convince Bulmers to give them a bit of coin so that they can throw a festival showcasing all those hot acts that blogs write about but they actually put on, for real people to go and see. It's a two dayer, with Howler headlining the 18th, whilst the 19th has so many highlights it'd be churlish to go on [...]

This February, Pitchfork Media will bring a new festival to the five boroughs. Focusing on the intersection of music, art and gaming, Forms seeks to promote collaboration between artists that might not ordinarily interact and to create a space that existing conferences have yet to provide. The work of musicians, visual artists, and videogame designers will be presented throughout the city, in venues not necessarily typical of the content: "bands in galleries, artists in clubs, games everywhere in between," according to the announcement on Pitchfork's website. Pitchfork is partnering with music promoter The Bowery Presents, with participation from [...]

Let's go ahead and get this out of the way: Oh Land ( Nanna Øland Fabricius ) is GORGEOUS and I have a fairly huge girl crush on her…. Anyone who knows me knows of my weakness for pretty much all Scandinavian pop, plus this girl is charming, beautiful, and a former ballet dancer just like me. As my friend Jessica put it, "She is a mystical, woodland, fairy creature sent here to make us feel unworthy." Last night's show at NYC's Bowery Ballroom only further solidified my love. French Camp (who I missed) and Graffiti6 were the [...]

Tweetvaso link A little self-indulgent reminiscing here: The town I grew up in had very little variety in radio stations; you either listened to country, adult easy listening, or classic rock. Even the local college station was as likely to play polka music as anything alternative. So I listened to a lot of classic rock...
