The almost definitely last-ever Siren Festival at Coney Island will be on July 19 this year. That’s the same weekend that Pitchfork has its festival in Chicago, and I must say I’ve always had an awesome time at Pitchfork, while Siren is often overcrowded and has horrible sound. Of course, it is free…and in New […]

Hot Chip are playing a sold out show at Terminal 5 on April 12th and they just announced a show at the much more intimate Music Hall of Williamsburg on April 8. As a ticketholder to the April 12 show I am a bit pissed to be stuck seeing them at the mammoth and impersonal […]
