THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Thurston Moore w/ San Agustin Wednesday, February 8 Goat Farm - 1200 Foster Street NW in Atlanta 30318 Admission $15 / Purchase Tickets I don't really pay much attention to anything Thurston Moore does outside of his work with Sonic Youth , so this choice isn't based on any great love for him as a solo artist. And, really, nobody needs me to vouch for his talents as an artist, collaborator and performer, do they? I [...]

Nada mais se sabe além da data -- 12 de Março -- prometendo a ZDB avançar com mais informação em breve, de acordo com a bomba deixada há poucos minutos via facebook.

I bought this on CD back in 1995 after seeing a live performance of Mike Watt featuring Eddie Vedder and Dave Grohl performing "Big Train" on John Stewart's late night show . Remember that show? Ball-Hog Or Tugboat? is anything but consistent as its detractors will undoubtedly raise as it's main flaw. Yes, it's Mike Watt showcasing his incredible cast of musical friends. But, you can't argue with songs like Piss-Bottle Man (featuring vocals by Evan Dando), Chinese Firedrill (featuring vocals by Frank Black), [...]

El 2012 recién comienza y las buenas noticias también. Una de ellas es la octava edición de el pequeño gran festival, Indie-O Fest . Festival que desde el 2005 reúne a lo mejor de la música independiente, y queda muy claro que este año no es la excepción. Dicen los organizadores: "En esta ocasión, se trata de una curaduría más ecléctica y mutifacética, llena de coloridos musicales provenientes de emocionantes rincones de la escena independiente". Destaca la participación de 2 ex integrantes de Sonic Youth , [...]
Una vez más, y como lleva siendo habitual desde hace 8 años consecutivos, vuelve ** Indie-O Fest , un festival de música que nació en 2005 y que poco a poco ha ido ganando popularidad y por supuesto buenos artistas. Las anteriores ediciones destacaron por la inclusión de bandas como Los Campesinos, o Hello Seahorse!, que deleitaron a los asistentes en 2009, o Little Dragon y The Big Pink, que lo hicieron en 2010. Y esta nueva edición 2012 no se queda atrás, con interesantes grupos que acaban de ser anunciados. Los platos fuertes son sin duda Thurston [...]
by BBG Rhyton , featuring Dave Shuford (No Neck Blues Band, D. Charles Speer), Jimy SeiTang (Psychic Ills), and Spencer Herbst (Messages, Matta Llama), specialize in space-y psychedelia that tips its hat to greats of the genre including Krautrock titans like Can. The largely-improvisational troupe is currently prepping to release their new self-titled LP on January 24th via Thrill Jockey and will celebrate said release with a show on January 26th at Shea Stadium alongside special guests Electroputas , [...]
This week in NYC shows is another mellow one compared to the normal onslaught of great concerts, but there are definitely some interesting happenings, including the New York Guitar Festival, Girls and Real Estate at Terminal 5, and Brother Past's return to Brooklyn Bowl...

Fan's dragon fly at Flaming Lips show, Sasquatch Music Festival in Memorial Day weekend. It's no secret that I take a lot of pictures. What's becoming less of a secret, though, is that I'm becoming less bad at it. Having spent so long as a photo editor, I'm naturally a bit more critical of photographs -- and especially my own. But thanks to lens upgrades (purchasing a 50mm prime, renting a 70-200mm) and software (Lightroom, Picknik), I'm getting awfully close to taking photos that I can [...]
