By Erin Routson Some music is undeniably written by women. Contend that if you will. Seeing Lightyear (aka Lauren Zettler) open for Mitten and Allison Weiss at Brooklyn's Glasslands merely hit the idea home. Sometimes there are places that only women can go. Taking the stage with her band, she launched into a set that ranged from the gentleness of lullabies and near-whisper sung lyrics to the punk vibes of yelping "Oh my god!" and being unable to contain her energy. Her songs are [...]

Tweet I didn't know how lovely looping could be until I listened to the Brooklyn-based band Abadabad . Their enveloping music was first brought to my attention in September 2011 during CMJ by Andrianna Albert, the beautiful blogger behind Gluttony Is The New Black , but since then it has become increasingly clear to me that this group is one to keep an eye on. With trippy beats, sparkling guitar parts and wandering, woozy vocals, Abadabad sounds kind of like a daydream brought to life. The [...]

Photo by Eric Ashleigh It's the first day back to work after a long holiday, so we're gonna need some Work Drugs . Today's Philly Local Phile digs into "Daddy Bear," a deep cut from their debut long-player Aurora Lies ; give it a listen below.

Thurston Moore at Williamsburg Waterfront. Photo by anonymous Live music in 2011 saw several newer bands consolidate their hold on greatness, while well-established acts from the 90s brought out crowds for reunion shows and, sadly, farewells.  For those of us at the site, we were inspired by crowds of people who were, in a lot of cases, younger than we were checking out bands like Archers of Loaf live for the first time, or finally gaining appreciation for the work of artists like Cass McCombs and Bill Callahan.  At the same time, favorite new or [...]

Recommended Show: MONDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2011 WOODS @ GLASSLANDS 289 Kent Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11211 $10, 8:30PM We thought about recommending heading over the Hudson to see Mike Viola at Maxwell's, but do you really want to trek into New Jersey? Probably not. Keep it in the City by going to see Woods at Glasslands instead. Common @ Highline Ballroom The Yes Way @ Knitting Factory Marianne Faithfull @ City Winery Rachael Yamagata & Mike Viola [...]

Recommended Show: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2011 X-RAY EYEBALLS, K-HOLES, STALKERS, and more @ GLASSLANDS 289 Kent Ave Brooklyn, NY 11211 $10, 8:30PM It's another night with another Jonathan Toubin benefit. This one lacks the big names of last night's, but the venue of Glasslands with the likes of bands such as X-Ray Eyeballs and Stalkers also feels very appropriate.

 [Photos by acidjack] I have wanted to see Royal Baths for over at least a year now, since this site last attempted to cover one of the band's New York shows.  Last year's ill-fated attempt was a gig at Monster Island Basement that, let's just say, suffered from some human failings.  But I didn't care - the band's debut album on Woodsist Records , Litanies , was one of my absolute favorites of last year.  Woozy, dark and catchy as hell, the record sounded perfectly like their hometown of San Francisco, evoking that city's [...]

I dunno if you guys have every been to Nova Scotia but it's a pretty whimsical place, it's like North America's answer to Iceland or something. Super quaint with like morning fog and whale watching, you should go. Halifax-based pop enthusiast   Rich Aucoin music is described with a similarly magical little aphorism: "Happiness held is the seed, happiness shared is the flower. Rich Aucoin is a connector", so yeah there you go. Aucoin's sophomore effort We're All Dying To Live brought together over 500 collaborations and musical guests to create one of 2k112s most ambitious records. His video [...]
