Chris Bathgate appeared on NPR's World Cafe today. There he and his band performed several tracks off of one of 20112s best Salt Year . Listen to the show and then watch the Halfway House Session : Watch: Mr Bathgate plays both the Midwest Fest (Mount Pleasant) and the Boiling Pot Festival (Kzoo) later this Summer. But you can catch him before that when [...]

The Magic Stick | Detroit | April 8th, 2011 Thanks to one of those major snowstorms that effectively shut down the entire northeast a few times last winter, Wye Oak had to cancel their supporting show with the Decemberists and couldn't return for the rescheduled gig. However, Detroit was lucky enough to have Wye Oak arrive on their own headlining tour at the Magic Stick, and to a rather full house considering it was the first show they had ever played in Motown. Couples in their honeymoon stage littered the venue, [...]

For so many reasons, Monday night's Lord Huron show was the official start of summer concert season for me. Let's take a moment to talk about all the wonderful, albeit miniscule, things that made tonight one of the better Monday nights in recent memory. First off, even though it's May 2nd, it is only just becoming warm enough to wear a sweatshirt out for the night. I also just rediscovered my red Chuck Taylor high tops, originally purchased for my Hamburglar costume circa 2007 but buried in the bottom of my closet since then. [...]

After giving away a few tickets to last night's Wye Oak show a week or two back, I figured I should probably go check it out, especially since I planned on seeing The Decemberists back in Feb before the most overhyped snow storm of my life postponed that show. But this was good, because this is the kind of band I'd rather see in the comfort of The Magic Stick anyway. We missed out on the first opener Jura but got there just in time to catch the upbeat tunes of Indianapolis band <a target="_blank" href=" [...]

Hey Detroit, hopefully you're glad you kept reading this site of ours as we've been trying to hit up the local population a little more as of late, because we're happy to announce that we'll be giving away 2 free tickets to see the fantastic Wye Oak at the Magic Stick Lounge on April 8! Yes, that's right. The very same Wye Oak that we were stoked to see opening up for The Decemberists last month before the snow-induced rescheduling are coming to play their very own show in support of their excellent recently released albumread more [...]

As we wait and wait and then wait some more for the hotly anticipated release of their sophomore album "Transit, Transit", Autolux decided to extend their fall tour by adding 18 cities around their appearance @ The All Tommorow's Parties, September 12th at the Kutshers Country Club in Monticello, NY. This upcoming tour will now starts August 28 in [...]

The other day Father Guido explained to me that our writings were being fed into this massive, imaginary machine called "the Webinet." I was flabbergasted; I always assumed our writings were pamphlets being distributed to different parishes as a public service announcement for societal concern. Father Guido explained to me that our servants, instead of grinding our words through a printing press, insert it into something called a "computer." So I asked my best manservant, Excelsior, to give me a tour of this interweb factory. For the first installment, I give three new places that struck my fancy [...]
