I managed to get a couple of decent shots last night at LCD but again, nothing spectacular with the Casio. Once again, James Murphy and company were impressive. A bit more so this time around as James wasn’t sick and they’re nearing the end of the U.S. Tour as they head home to […]

Party hardy – Going.com
Tonight is a special night for Boston based online social network, Going.com. They’re throwing down a party for their home town as they start to promote the heck out their new name. They were formerly known as HeyLetsGo and changed their name a few months ago. What is their niche you may ask? […]
The Cribs – “Men’s Needs”
The Cribs Links of Interest: Pre-Order Single: (UK) (US) Pre-order Album: (UK) (US) Off their upcoming release, Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever, this first single, “Men’s Needs”, has a familiar tone to it. In fact, when I first heard the chorus I immediately jumped on the comparison to a little known band from Austin, TX, […]
Ed Banger Pics from HIRO
I promised a few pics from the NYC weekend. If you don’t know me personally or our friend, Mr. 2000, then these won’t really mean much to you other then the fact that we look like we’re having a good time. And I guess that’s ulimately the purpose of posting them. Because, man, it was […]
VBS.TV – Live Arcade Fire
I’ve been watching a lot of online TV these days. I got rid of my cable a couple months back and have been struggling to find decent content to watch on my 32″ LCD TV. Cable or Satellite will most likely be turned back on but I’m very intrigued by the online TV concept. […]
Not since the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995 has there been anyone who can hammer out a guitar solo with enough anticipated precision in every note to make you want to shake your head off. It was one of the greatest abilities the “dancing bear” had in his arsenal. He made you think he […]

Ror-Shak: “Deep”
I have a tough time critiquing a full album when there are multiple vocalits. Each vocalist can bring to the table a new vibe, a new technique or a new feel to the album. One good example is Nouvelle Vague, the bosa nova style French female vocalist group that revamps songs by such bands as […]
I’m Back and Intact
My vacation out to the Left Coast was remarkable. You couldn’t ask for a better time. I’m not the biggest fan of L.A. but my sister lives there so it brings it up a few notches. We then headed up the coast, through Santa Barabara and landed in the magical land of Big Sur. […]
Funky Nashville from Denmark
On their myspace page they describe their sound as Americana / Southern Rock / Surf. Just with that description alone I got giddy. I’ve been in a big surf / 60’s era rock mode recently. Southern rock is always at the top of my list and one of my favorite bands if not the favorite […]
