MySpace Music: Ryan Adams, The National and Fischerspooner

Discovering new music and discovering bands is very different than it was three to four years ago.  Magazine’s have lost their edge due to their lack of punctuality when it comes to discovering new music.  Music discovery online is a bottomless pit incredible music you’ll never find.
This however is a great place to start.  These […]

Rilo Kiley on Conan

Well, Rilo Kiley is on Conan tonight. But other than that it’s a slow week for music on Letterman and Conan.

Here are two good reasons to watch late night TV this week…
Conan hosts Rilo Kiley on Monday and Bjork on Thursday.
Enjoy.

Company of Thieves, welcome to New York!

Hailing from Chicago IL, Company of Thieves are a solid organic rock indie output that are […]

Hot Hot Heat @ Webster Hall

Victoria British Columbia’s Hot Hot Heat will be screeching through New York in less than a month. This is a band that will make you take notice, regardless of how hard you try to ignore them. This band had a very similar impact on me after seeing them live as the Libertines did. I liked […]

New York’s Top 50 Bands….

Back to that list I was rambling about.
The Top 50 bands to have ever called New York home.   Quick recap:  Velvet was number 1…agreeable.
Miles, the man who delivered Cool to the world came in at number 4. It’s crazy to think that Miles Davis may have been a spark to the tinder for […]

Foo Fighters @ Irving Plaza

 
Mid to late September is often filled with miserable rain showers, cold deep puddles and little to no sunshine.  Outdoor concerts this time of year usually end of being a bad buzz.  However, this is the time of year when you have the best chance to see a great band in a very unique, weird […]

White Rabbits

Really diggin’ the White Rabbits lately. I have uploaded their recent release Fort Nightly to my IPOD and I find I get irritated when my IPOD’s ‘inner DJ’ doesn’t shuffle it enough.

They are a very cool sextet that describe themselves as “Tropical/Indie/Rock” (according to their MySpace Page)…works for me. Be sure to check […]
