Words and Mix by Rick Molson (of Boca Chica and Horse or Cycle Every year the radio forces hundreds upon thousands of Christmas songs to our ears, but let's admit it: we can heed only so many versions of "Rudolph" or "Frosty" without going completely insane. Granted you'll find some decent tunes here and there (the Kinks' "Father Christmas" comes to mind, and I once heard Scott Walkers' "Winter Night" played late at night, but chances are the song was mistakenly in [...]

He is eight days from home and Carl Shapiro, namesake of DC-based Shapiro, can't wait to get into his own bed. The 6-foot-2, lion-maned bassist has been sleeping in a 15-passenger van for the past month, on the road with his bandmates to spread their sound of piano-infused pop-rock with audiences in small clubs and venues all over the United States. Here is a look at the band's journey toward success and recognition.
It's been a light show week. Good thing I've FINALLY got my next NYRM Literary Society entry ready! I finished The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay nearly two months ago, but I've been really struggling to find the proper song to go along with it. I knew it had to be a band with at least a little sense of humor, but also a great weight to them. A band with an historical sensibility, but with strong roots in New York. No one really seemed to fit Chabon's wry, funny, nostalgic prose. After asking nearly everyone I [...]

As usual far too much fun was had yesterday between the walls of the Indie studios. Incase you are unaware, I host a weekly radio show with Danny Sway called Public Education on indie1031.com . We keep it mostly new but not entirely unheard. Join us every Sunday from 6-8 pm. The Soft Pack - Nightlife Local Natives - Airplanes The Twilight Sad - I Became A Prostitute Gangi - Subject Postitions Those Darlings - Wild One Meth Teeth - I Was Wrong Allen Vega - Jukebox Baby [...]
Before starting their encore, Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit admitted to the crowd, "We had such a crazy year of touring last year that it was like 'Oh fuck, touring again?' But you guys have changed our mind tonight." It was clear that he was being sincere. The sold out crowd at Maxwell's in Hoboken (7/17) was a rabid one. They cheered loudly after each song, listened intently to most, and sang along to a few. The band grew more comfortable as the set went on despite how hot the room got. It was my first time [...]
There is A LOT to do this Saturday. Siren Fest will be in full swing at Coney Island. If you don't mind braving the heat, crowds, and bad sound, then make sure to check out Micachu and the Shapes, Bear Hands, and Japandroids, not to mention Built to Spill. Later that night, our good friend Handglops is playing a sweet show at Silent Barn, which needs help in order to pay some bills and keep going. But, I have to recommend the Oxford Collapse show at Collective Hardware. This is the LAST Oxford Collapse show ever. I've fallen [...]

In the years that I have been doing Pop Tarts Suck Toasted we have had no shortage of bands that have upped and called it quits. Some of those bands we never got the chance to hear, some soundtracked some part of out lives, but few had an impact on us as Oxford Collapse have. Just last year the band headlined my CMJ Day Party at Cake Shop, helping me out just as much as they were promoting their own new record at the time. They've played stages as big as McCarren Park Pool and as small as some of [...]
How does one write an obit for Michael Jackson ? José sees it this way: Suffice it to say he is possibly the most over-rated recording artist since Elvis. Popularity isn't everything. Mayonnaise is popular, Wonderbread is popular. Kraft Macaroni & Cheese is popular. Most things with that level of near-universal popularity are utter shite. The man's most popular two records were largely written by Quincy Jones. His most recent album Invincible came out 8 years ago and sold 2 million copies, barely a tenth of his album HIStory from 6 years earlier, [...]

Last Two Shows: July 17 @ Maxwells (Hoboken) SOLD OUT w/ Frightened Rabbit July 18 @ Under The Tracks (508 W. 25th Street) w/ CaUSE co-Motion! + The Beets I've posted quite a few Oxford Collapse mp3s over the years, and here is a "best of".

A sad day in the world of indie music news as one of our favorite bands of 2008 Oxford Collapse have decided to call it quits after over 8 years in existence. We've enjoyed this band ever since we caught their show at Mohawk several months back and had the chance to interview them before their set. You can read an official statement about the break up over on the Sub Pop blog . Take some time today to check out the last single from Oxford Collapse called "Birthday Wars" or read our positive [...]

With boozy barbecues in full swing and the Fourth of July around the corner, we're just as concerned with creating the chillest backyard summer playlist as we are perfecting that potato salad recipe. (What's your secret? Vinegar? Salsa? Is it all in the peeling?) Thankfully, we're not alone. Though they may have a rep for eating crappy food on the road, there are actually a whole new crop of musicians who know their way around the kitchen, as well as the issues surrounding the food industry to boot. These are the types who like [...]
