Just kidding... I also got this shitty iPhone photo that was so shitty it couldn't even be saved by an Instagram filter! taken during the first 2 songs when we *accidentally* sat in the "good" seats First and foremost-this is not a review. Secondly-I enjoyed the show. It was, oh yes I know, "once in a lifetime." Also, I, like everyone else in the room, fell in love with Stevie Nicks all over again (but I already predicted [...]
Official | Bandcamp | Myspace | Twitter Ever been to a drag show? (Yes/No.) If yes , have you ever wanted to enjoy a drag show in the comfort of your own home? (Duh.) If no , you've secretly (or not-so-secretly) wanted to but never had the opportunity-correct? (Maybe.) Would you like to enjoy a drag show right now in the form of a character-based musicalesque ditty? (Uhhh...) It's free. (Okay yes.) Click play. [LISTEN]: [...]
WIDOWSPEAK @ Brooklyn, NY Myspace | Bandcamp | Facebook | Twitter "I thought about you, because I always think about you." [MP3]: Widowspeak - "Harsh Realm" Languid, hazy, lilting and lulling are few adjectives that can be used to describe the music Molly Hamilton, Michael Stasiak, and Robert Thomas craft on Harsh Realm [...]
Myspace | Official | Facebook | Twitter Yes, I will admit that sometimes I will search up a musician just because their cover art or album title intrigues me. It's a superficial method, but hey, I've stumbled across many of my favourite artists this way. It happened again a couple days ago. Pitchfork did me a solid when I happened across the cover art for Des Ark 's sophomore album Don't Rock the Boat, Sink the Fucker along with a review [...]
Myspace | Official | Facebook They say the best things in life are free, and in the case of Coma Cinema , that saying holds up. Mat Cothran , the guy behind this gem of a music find, equates music to something like oxygen , saying that it would be ridiculous to charge for the air we breathe so why charge for something as vital as music? Accordingly, all three of Coma Cinema's full-length records are available for free download on the official [...]
Bandcamp | Facebook The moment I saw that We Are Trees had a song entitled "Dear Chan Marshall," I was all 'hell yeah, I'm up for the ride.' (I'm a huge Cat Power fan and any reference to her will get me giddy.) That fact alone, for me, warranted them a listen-and I was not disappointed. [MP3]: We Are Trees - "Dear Chan Marshall" [ via ] [...]
I'm in the middle of writing an essay, but I just couldn't wait any longer to share Angel Olsen with everyone. I'm a little late to the party on this one as she released her debut cassette (yes, cassette-you read right) Strange Cacti via Bathetic Records last year, but I don't even care; I'm just happy I found her. [MP3]: Angel Olsen - "Creator, Destroyer" [ via ] [...]
Myspace | Website | Facebook | Twitter All I have to say is, thank the Lord for NPR! Bored and on a "study break" last week (who am I kidding, the whole day was a long study break), I thought I'd check out some new World Cafe Sessions on NPR, and lo and behold there was feature on the Best Sessions of 2010 . So of course, I downloaded it. I already knew of the other artists featured (Beach House, Phosphorescent, Ray Lamontagne, Minus the Bear), but I thought [...]

Myspace | Website | Facebook | Twitter I have no idea how I've just now discovered Brooklyn-based School of Seven Bells , formerly a trio consisting of Benjamin Curtis and identical twins Alejandra and Claudia Deheza. (Claudia announced her departure from the band on Oct. 12 via SVIIB's facebook.) It's okay, though. Sometimes I like being a little late to the game, because it means I have their entire back-catalogue to check out. In their case, it's 2 LPs ( Alpinisms and Disconnect From Desire , respectively) [...]

Myspace | Website | Twitter HOMETOWN: Long Island, New York LINEUP: Eric Cardona (guitar/vox), Gabel D'Amico (bass), Andrea Estella (vox), Dev Gupta (keyboard), Bryan Ujueta (drums) SOUNDS LIKE: Rhythmic rolling body waves captured in a bottle of glass shards Without a doubt, Long Island quintet Twin Sister has stolen my heart (and my ears) today. And now as the sun is beginning to set, this band's music is just what I need to ease me into the still and [...]
