Love Pigs

Check out the new video from Evil Cowards for their song "Love Pigs". It's hilarious and the song is dope. Oh yea, and my sister is in it. Enjoy!

PAVEMENT - See you September 21, 2010

So apparently it is finally going to happen (we thinks) - Pavement Reunion! Word on the world wide web is that Pavement will play a benefit of some sort at Summerstage in Central Park on September 21st of 2010. Let's pray that this is true, and also for a full tour. Speculations abound, but there has not ever been anything as "concrete" as this one (they actually set a date). See you in the park in 370 days.

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy

So I have really been getting into Will Oldham's music lately. I suggest everyone else do the same. Below is a video from one of his older records, The Letting Go. Check it out.

Memory Lane

Remember this gem?

Live Music Summer

New York is one of the best places to be for live music. This is especially true in the summer, when there are several free, outdoor shows. Here are some of the better pictures I have taken at shows thus far this summer.

Bill Callahan (smog) @ Music Hall of Williamsburg (Northside Fest)





The Dodos @ Studio B (Northside Fest)



Dr. Dog @ Prospect Park



Real Estate @ Bowery Ballroom




Japandroids @ Coney Island (Siren Fest)





Frightened Rabbit @ Coney Island (Siren Fest)



Built to Spill @ Coney Island (Siren Fest)

St. Vincent Cemetery Gates

Pitchfork.tv has a great live series called Cemetery Gates, which is recorded in a Cathedral. Here is one of my favorite performances from the series, St. Vincent's "Marrow". I love that whammy bar.

Blitzen Trapper - Black River Killer

Sweet new video from Portland's Blitzen Trapper.

Fall on Your Sword

Captain Kirk has taken way too much acid and needs to get back to his ship, and his crew is too stoned to help. Dang.

Dr. Dog Celebrates Brooklyn Saturday Night

As I sit here watching the clock creep towards 5 o'clock, I can't help get excited for Dr. Dog Saturday night in Prospect Park. This is a part of the summer series "Celebrate Brooklyn", and the show is free (although they would surely appreciate a small donation at the gate). Check out this site for details. The Bandshell entrance is at Prospect Park West and 9th Street in Park Slope. So if you are in Brooklyn Saturday night and want to hear some good summertime tunes, for FREE, head over to the park. Below is a live performance of "The Rabbit, The Bat, and The Reindeer" from their latest record Fate to get you excited as well. See you at the park.

R.I.P. Michael

Let us never forget all the good times your tunes have brought us all over the years, and will continue to bring forever. As someone who can be pretty picky with my music, MJ has always been a choice everyone can agree on.

Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' - ...

On Jamaica Ave!

I love this song. It is extremely stupid, yet I love it.

Dinosaur Jr. Still At It

Hello people. This is my first post on my first blog, and what better way to start than to talk about one of my all time favorite bands, Dinosaur Jr. They released their latest record, Farm, today. I waited for it to officially drop today to listen to it, and it was well worth the wait. Like fellow indie rock legends Sonic Youth (who also released a dope album this month), D Jr. still rock and make relevant music after all these years. I highly recommend going to your local independent record store (or iTunes, I guess) and picking this album up. Also, they will bring their face-melting live show to Central Park's Summer Stage, for FREE, August 16 (http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2009/05/dinosaur_jr_ret.html). Below is a link to their killer music video for "Over It", which features the band doing some sweet tricks. Enjoy!
