- Okkervil River at Scala review. Or, on losing that lovin’ feeling.
“Most people, once they reach a certain age, troop through their days struggling like hell with the concept of completeness, keeping up with all the things that were ever part of them, as a way of maintaining the illusion that they bring themselves fully to life. These things usually amount to being able to remember [...]
- Thao Nguyen at Barden’s Boudoir review
A friend recently saw Thao in SF and told me I absolutely had to go see her. I had been reading her name all over the place, so I moseyed on over to her MySpace, fell in love with her sound, bought a ticket, and went to a great show last night.
Thao Nguyen’s folk sound [...]
- Tingtastic
Last night I went to the Hoxton Bar and Grill to see the Ting Tings. I know, I know, I’m late to the game, and they’ve already blown up and out for those who know, but so what.
This month I heard “That’s Not My Name” and got totally addicted. I have no idea why this [...]
- Cover your laptops, it’s a Girl Talk show.

Last night we hit the Girl Talk show up in Dalston.
All the gigs I’d normally describe as intimate are the Unplugged in NY type - up close and personal with a band. Last night I got introduced to Girl Talk’s own brand of intimacy.
If you haven’t heard Nightripper yet, get [...]
- Amanda Blank and Yo Majesty will step pon u.
I’ve been reloading Amanda Blank and Yo Majesty tracks hard since we caught them at the Spank Rock show during CMJ. Here’s a pic from the show. I love the way Jwl. B is fixing her cap so nonchalantly:
Amanda Blank is straight buffness. For the uninitiated her verse on Bump by Spank Rock should be [...]
- Gorgeous charts for rocking out
Courtesy of artist Andrew Kuo’s blog, where you can see these amazing charts on concert experiences and music reviews. Here are some of my favorites, accompanied by music of course.
The Walkmen at the Music Hall of Williamsburg.
The Walkmen - What’s in it for Me?
“This is totally adult contemp.” Ahahaha! That’s hilarious and sooo on point!

- Most waterlogged ham alive
Tony from Slutty Fringe put me on his gutterlist for The Whitest Boy Alive up in Hoxton last Monday. His blog is sick. You should check it out.
His review and John’s from H0tsauce are pretty amusing - A waterlogged ham pretty much sums it up.
I wish Erlend sang more, I really rate his voice.
Here are [...]
- Oh you’re so silent ian
It’s been a while since my last post, I’ve been locked away coding like crazy, adding features for our private beta users and getting ready for launch.
It’s ironic that building a website to make it easier to go to shows has meant I’ve gone to less myself. After a hardcore 3 months on Y Combinator, [...]
