Yeah, I've been away for a while, but guess what?...I'm brewing at home now! Yes, I have begun to brew my own libations! Not because I don't like what is commercially available but rather to share in the enjoyment of making beer. I started shortly before Thanksgiving thanks to my lovely wife's present to me (a Master Brew Beermaking Kit) which she bought from Arbor Wine & Beer. Needless to say we

Well I've been away for a while, I have my reasons I must say but I hope to be back now for a while. Not that it's new but I have been following both hockey and MMA with a fervor I haven't had for music much recently. Needless to say I just wanted to put up a post that for those of you who have HDNet will now be able to watch monthly "PPV's" of KOTC for free!!I haven't seen a KOTC event in quite

Okay so a while back I wrote a piece for GenArt about bands I'd love to see reunite. Of that list, all that could possibly reunite have aside from the Libertines. Now it appears, based on an NME interview, that one of my favorite bands I never got to see play live may actually reunite! Read the interview here. Yes, it's still quite speculative but we can all hope!!

If you've ever been on this page before then you know just how much I love the 'gwai! Well the boys will be back in town (Brooklyn) in April! The best part...3 dates at Music Hall of Williamsburg! How sweet is that! Well the rest of the tour dates are below. The tickets for the Brooklyn shows are not on sale yet, and I'll let you know when they are.04/20 Houston, TX- Numbers 04/21 New Orleans, LA

Pomegranates are prepping to release their sophomore album, "Everybody, Come Outside!" Not only that but they will have quite the stage to bring it to the public on...namely the SXSW festival! I have to admit, I really enjoyed their first album, but never gave it the attention I probably should have...that being said I plan to give their sophomore release a lot more listens! You can pick up the

I just ran across this promo of Spanish Dancer's new album "Burned Up Bred High" which is worth a listen, and will likely require a few before you fully understand and appreciate it. Luckily the kind folks over at Fanatic Promotions have offered up a promo of the album for us all to check out. Check it out below:Burned Up Bred High (promo)Sample tracks:HustlerThe Bloods

Just in time for Valentine's Day Matthew Tow, former Brian Jonestown Massacre leader, is releasing his new band's (Lovetones) debut "Dimensions" on Planting Seeds Records! From the sound of the first single it will definitely be worth checking out when it is released on February 29th. To hold you over here's the first single "Journeyman" below:Journeyman

Well it has been WAY too long and I've realized that I truly do miss writing on this site...so hopefully while I pick it back up I'll actually improve it quite a bit (who knows).In my absence I've attended a few outstanding shows, notably Mogwai (yeah it's been that long) at Terminal 5, Vampire Weekend at Terminal 5, Devotchka at Terminal 5, and Beirut at BAM. All four of these shows were

Okay in honor of my issue-laden computer I've decided to hook up everyone with some tunes. For the most part these are bands that have either just released EP's or have an album coming out in the near future. In any event, I know I'm definitely hoping to hear more! Check them out below:This is Ivy League - I don't know how to explain it, but think new Beach Boys music with a NYC flairThe Richest

Sorry, once again it's been a while, my computer has been giving me fits recently. Anyway...I've been listening to a bunch of new stuff I have just recently gotten. One being the EP in the title of the post, which is a strikingly smooth offering. The tunes have a range from Beth Orton-esque sounds with a slight PJ Harvey tone. The biggest complaint I have thus far is that it's too short.Don't let

Damn, I just read this, so I'm sorry if it's a bit late in the day to get it out! Anyway the My Blood Valentine curated, NY-based, All Tomorrows Parties has just been announced. The 30+ bands include a TON of my personal favorites! The odd thing is that it's being held outside of Manhattan, near the site of the original Woodstock festival. The even odder thing is that the site is actually a

Things have been crazy to say the least on a personal level over the last few weeks, and I haven't really had the time or inclination to write...for that I do apologize. Needless to say I just wasted $44.95 this past weekend on the UFC fight, which for all intensive purposes was a joke! I mean 3 of the main card fights stunk (including this gem Starnes v Quarry at least they cancelled Starnes'

Yep, it's that time again...Chuck is on tour again! He's going to be touring to promote his new book coming out in May entitled "Snuff"! Definitely sounds like a hoot! You can pick up a signed copy through St. Helen's Book Store here. I'd recommend them because they are incredibly helpful and Lu is so sweet! So anyway, to the tour dates...as you can see below Chuck will be once again hitting the

Yep, that's the title of the new James album, which is apparently being released April 8th. The band released an official statement on it, which you can read below:"Well, the album is all done & dusted and will be released as planned on April 7th. It's called 'Hey Ma' and like any proud parent we think it's wonderful, below is the album cover and track listing.Yes, we know that some of your faves

I swear, you'd think I was officially affiliated with the band (Mogwai), based on the number of posts I put up about them, but Barry just posted a little humorous update on the bands official website about their new album. You can read it in it's entirety below:Nearly Done! Good day. We are almost finished mixing our howling hawk of a new record and we're so pleased with it that we might never

Wow...2008 thus far has been one heck of a year for the artist currently known as Chuck Palahniuk! As you may know if you check this blog out frequently you've noticed I'm a HUGE fan, and would consider Chuck to be one of my all-time favorite authors. Well as I've posted a few times here, his new book "Snuff" is due out May 20th, and is about a special kind of subject matter, that I'll leave to "

The Brooklyn-based Arms, aka Todd Goldstein, LONG-awaited full-length will be release June 8th on Melodic (UK based label), I don't have any links yet to give you to pre-order, but as soon as I get more info I'll post it. You can here a bunch of tracks off of the album on their myspace page. Definitely worth checking out for fans of Clap Your Hands and Bogmen!They've also got a show coming up in

Just checked the old inbox and came across a band I had seen open for Asobi Seksu that I figured I had to pass along. As you can guess by their stage-mates, Soundpool are in the shoegazer genre, and do it quite well! If you haven't witnessed them live, then I would highly recommend checking them out in their current tour (dates below). Although the band, hailing from NYC, is typically compared to

As I have been quick to post any and all news regarding these Scots, it is with great unhappiness I tell you that the band has no plans to tour the US until the late-summer/fall time period. So be on the lookout then for dates, I'll post 'em as soon as I hear!

Our favorite fake surgeons, Clinic, have just announced an upcoming US tour to coincide with the release of their new album "Do It", which hits "shelves" (am I the only one who still likes to buy albums in stores?) April 8th. Check out the dates below:5-08 Brooklyn, NY - Music Hall Of Williamsburg !5-09 Boston, MA - Paradise Rock Club !5-10 Montreal, QC - La Sala Rosa !5-11 Toronto, ON - Lee's

If you've had a hankering for some Americana, vintage, singer/songwriter, pop I've got your hookup...Check out the new album by one-man-band (and producer) Andy Liotta, AKA Billie Burke Estate, entitled "Let Your Heart Break." It's funny because he looks a lot like my wife's-cousin's-husband [I think I just broke a blog record for the most hyphens in one post!]. The album consists of twelve

If you haven't lived under a rock for the last few months than you should probably already know about Health, yeah they're the band that was opening for Crystal Castles on their current tour, and actually IMHO the better of the two bands. As the saying goes, (the show must go on) the band is continuing on with their tour switching to the opener role, as Alice Glass, the vocalist behind Crystal

I just got in the mail today a bunch of stuff from a new band from Brooklyn Team Genius. I must admit I hadn't heard of them before, but based on the strength of these two tracks that won't be the case for long! Their debut EP, Hooray, was just released February 26, 2008, and the band is now touring New York, and has 5 dates planned. They have been compared to Animal Collective, which I agree

Okay, I'm in a bit of a Mogwai mood now! So I figured, what better than to post one of my all-time favorite shows for everyone! This is an FM sourced show from the 2000 All Tomorrows Parties gig, which shows the band in all their grandeur!

Okay, I admit it. I'm a bit of a fan of Mogwai, as you can probably tell from the wealth of posts on the band over the course of this blog. So it shouldn't shock anyone that I'm quite excited by the news that the recording of Mogwai's new album is apparently coming along smoothly and on-time. Plus they have apparently recorded a new song for a compilation due out this year as well! I'm still

Die! Die! Die!, the Kiwi-based band that is prepared to unleash their brand of pop-laden post-punk tunes on the fine attendants (I wish I was one) of the SXSW festival, and will also be playing a few other dates including 2 NY area dates in support of their recently released album Promises, Promises (which you can stream here). Check them out if you get a chance, their tour dates are as follows:

Yet another reason to love the Pacific Northwest...every year they put on these great festivals, none of which can I ever make it to (see also Bumbershoot festival in Sept.)! Anyway, the initial line-up for the Sasquatch! festival, which is being held at the Gorge Theatre Memorial Day weekend (May 24-26) has been announced, and includes bands as follows: R.E.M.the CureBeirutDeath Cab for Cutie

If you haven't already heard of, or checked out, 65DaysofStatic, what are you waiting for? They have released 2 full-lengths (The Fall of Math & Destruction of Small Ideas) and an EP (Hole EP). This band is a must peruse if you are a found of Explosions In the Sky, GSYBE!, Keser (a personal favorite). They are currently on tour w/ the Cure (as annotated with an asterisk below) in Europe and will

I realize that some have already been posting about these guys, but I have to add myself to the list of the bloggers that have grown to love these guys! The Terrordactyls have been very aptly compared to Kimya Dawson's previous band/duet The Moldy Peaches. They share that same soul-bearing lyricism and stripped-down raw DIY sound. Definitely recommended for anyone who is into the Juno soundtrack

Anthony Gonzalez, better known as M83 has just announced his plans for a US tour. His new disc entitled "Saturday's = Youth" comes out mid-April (April 15th, Mute), and if its half as good as "Before the Dawn Heals Us" it'll be an event when its finally here. You can preview a track off of the new album, "Coleurs" thanks to the fine folks at Mute (RAM). The tour dates announced are as follows:Tue

Goldfrapp - "Seventh Tree" - due out February 26, 2008 on Mute RecordsIn one word, scrumtrelescent. Okay, to expand on that thought I have to put it out there immediately that I think Seventh Tree is a huge step forward for the duo known as Goldfrapp. This album takes the normal pageantry of Goldfrapp's more straight-forward dance albums into a more mellow lounge-esque type atmosphere. What is

Word has just come out of the 'gwai camp!!! The band is back in the studio and anticipates finishing mixing of the album in the spring, with the album being released next fall. I can't believe I'm this excited about an album that won't be released for almost a year. Brightlight! also posted a little while ago that the band may be touring the US in the early spring!

Like you needed another reason to love this shop (Soundfix), they've gone and announced their annual CMJ showcase free shows itinerary. Now some of these shows are not that new in their announcements but some are. Having seen Junior Senior at the newly renovated space a few weeks back, the improvements are extremely well done, and the list of shows are definitely worth checking out!So here's to

Okay so it's been a while, and I apologize. I've been studying for my certification which is much harder and longer than I anticipated. I just had a wedding for one of my best friends, which was a blast, and I blew my knee out a few weeks ago. Needless to say it's been interesting!Anyway, the good folks over at Musebox sent me a album a week or so ago by a band called Syme. First off, they peeked

Well, according to the folks over at the Cult, Chuck has announced that production of the movie-version of Choke on June 18th! For the uninitiated, Choke is an outstanding book by Chuck Palahniuk that rates in my top 3-5 books of all time (there are a few classics that I have a hard time letting go of). The movie will star Sam Rockwell in the lead role of Victor Mancini, and the film will be

Yeah I just read through the lineup for this years Lollapalooza festival in Chicago's Grant Park (Aug 3rd-5th) and it's quite impressive to say the least! I mean it's substantially more expensive ($165 for early purchases, and $195 for later purchases) than the Pitchfork Festival, but it might be worth checking out! Especially for those friends of mine from Chi-town! The lineup includes:Pearl Jam

Well, it's sort of official...Mogwai will be covering Gouge Away on the upcoming tribute to the Pixies "Dig For Fire: A Pixies Tribute". There is no more interesting track that the 'gwai could have chosen to cover...it also happens to be one of my favorite Pixies tracks too!

I meant to post about this last week, but it somehow slipped through the cracks! Anyway the tour dates for James' reunion tour have been announced and are shown below. The bad news first, there are no US/North American dates for the tour, which centers around the UK for the most part including some random secret gigs that I'm sure will be next to impossible to get tickets even if you live in the

Electrelane are moving from strength to strength. Soon to be out on the road with the infamous Arcade Fire before heading onto a number of their own headline dates around the world, the new album No Shouts No Calls will be released in April - the first fresh material since 2005's Axes. And still they continue to tease and tantalize us with yet another all too exciting announcement.Electrelane

Pitchfork just posted a review of Tanakh's new album "Saunders Hollow". The site gave the album a 7.5, which in Pitchfork world is fairly high! Congrats to the guys (and girl) who put the album together.

Two pieces of important information...First, the National's Bowery Ballroom shows (all 4 of them) are going on sale tomorrow (Friday the 2nd) at noon (12:00 EST).

Hopefully I can score tickets!Second, the White Stripes have announced the title of their upcoming album, due out "as soon as corporately possible." The album will be called "Icky

Over the past few weeks I've been getting quite a bit of great new music, from bands I found on myspace, to albums sent to me from Vice Recordings/Musebox and Resonant Records. Overall they've been insanely good, and highly recommended. Below are a few of these bands, and I'll be adding more to this list over the coming days/weeks.Ölvis - Bravado (Resonant)Ölvis is the work of a one-man-band by

Okay I just got home from work and turned on my reminders and saw joyous news in the upcoming shows section!!! Beirut is playing two shows at the Bowery Ballroom in May, and tickets were still available!

I just confirmed on Susumu Yokota's website that his follow-up to the 2006 album "Wonder Waltz" is estimated for arrival May of 2007. No firm release date, but as I get information regarding it I'll be sure to post it! The album has a working title of "LOVE or DIE", unfortunately no album art has surfaced that I have found.I'm a huge fan of his, and count his album's "Grinning Cat" and "Symbol"

Wow, I'm not sure how I forgot to post about this last week, but the opener for the upcoming Tapes 'n Tapes shows has been announced. By T'n'T themselves, and it is none other than Harlem Shakes.

According to a recent post on Filter Magazine's site, Kill Rock Stars will be releasing a treasure trove of Elliott Smith rarities, entitled "New Moon", encompasing his entire career, over two-discs! The sheer thought of 24 new (or mostly new) Elliott Smith songs is enough to keep me up at night! The album is scheduled for release May 8th, and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the album

Yeah, you read that right...CMJ magazine currently has an offer out that gives potential subscribers 50% off the regular subscription price of $39.95. If you have ever thought of subscribing to the magazine, now may just be the time!I used to be a subscriber, back in college, thanks my friend and roommate. Then the magazine seemed to lose steam with me, and changed its focus to more hip-hop

Filter magazine has just posted, although both the bands official site and myspace site haven't confirmed, that the Kooks are planning another tour after the bands show at Coachella. This is band I would highly recommend going to see if they are playing in your general area! You can read my review of their acoustic set at the 'Fixx cafe back in October here.

So I haven't exactly been up-to-snuff with regards to the new up-coming shows section of this site, mainly because I haven't been able to concentrate on posting, but also because I haven't had a day/night to actually get to any shows recently. That is changing somewhat now...What I mean is I finally got some tickets to see a few shows in the not-to-distant future. Namely The Horrors' at the

Holy, crap so much good news for just one day! My heart can't take this all! Another of my all-time favorite bands has decided to re-form. According to Filter Magazine, and Tim Booth's official page the group James (who some of you may recall from the song "Laid" that is an all-time classic) has decided to reform for a couple of live shows in "early 2007". I'm PRAYING that they will include some

Ampop - Sail to the MoonEasily one of the most chilled-out pop-tinged orchestral, yet entirely accessible to broad audiences, albums I've heard in quite some time. The only way to properly explain their sound would be if Muse (got off their high horse and got back to basics) had some fun in the studio with Jonny Greenwood, and a more talented Keane. Wow, I'm sure I just pissed off some people

First off, sorry for the lack of updates, it's been a sickly start to the new year and I really haven't been able to get on-line much to write anything. But the good news is that I've received a ton of new albums to review which have all be quite impressive!So to start off the new year's reviews I've decided to put up my recommendation for a three-piece band on the Silent Film Records label, that

Okay so first off, I want to say that I have a bunch of new demo albums I have to put up reviews of, including Clark, Kurt Adam, and hopefully Sanchez is Driven By Demons. I hope to get them up over the next week or so.In the mean time one of my favorite bands, Doves, have just sent out a new blog of their own discussing the on-going recording of their new album (now due out in late 2007).

Okay another list, but a much shorter one I promise! Below is the list of my top 5 concerts I attended in 2006.Top concerts :10. - Fruit Bats at the Mercury Lounge (4/28/06) - You can read my short review of the show here, but it was a great way to celebrate my birthday!9. - Massive Attack at the Roseland Ballroom (10/5/06) - Crap crowd, but an insane performance!

Okay, its finally time for my first ever best of list. It's been a great year and I've truly enjoyed writing this page. So thanks to everyone who has read and commented on what I write!I had initially planned to do this weeks ago, but have been so insanely busy it just hasn't happened. Anyway, I want to send out a sincere thank you to all of the bands that send me demo's and for Vice Recordings

Holy crap! That's about the extent of what I can say! I had the opportunity to listen to the fully mastered version of the upcoming debut of Crippled Black Phoenix! This was actually more torture than you can imagine, because it's just going to make the wait for the US tour that much harder to bear!

The Dandelion CouncilThe Dandelion Council is a group out of Altadena, California (the nice sunny southern part!), I was jealous from the first mention of them! Their myspace page says that they play Christian/Electro/Folk, which was more than enough to catch my attention. The description listed for the band is as follows:strongly influenced by summer nights, fields of grass rippling in the wind,

The Shins have just announced a mini four-date tour of the West Coast/Northwest. The itinerary is below and you can read more about it in the Filter Magazine post here.

Arms, the always enchanting indie band from Brooklyn, just announced that they (Tom) has signed to Melodic Recordings of Manchester, a fitting location for a label for them/him to sign to considering the musics leanings! Here's to hoping for a release in the near future. I'll keep you posted.

Holy crap...this couldn't be any worse of news! I'm so bummed it's not even funny, this was the one show my wife and I had been excited about for the past 3 months! I had missed out on every one of Beirut's previous NYC dates due to family obligations and holiday get-togethers...and we were finally going on Wednesday. Anyway apparently the tour had begun to take its toll on Zach, culminating in

Kooks put on an intimate in-store at Soundfix yesterday, a preview of what was most likely an amazing show at Northsix (I couldn't get tickets). The guys were really cool and joked around a lot, and stayed after the performance to meet and greet some fans and sign autographs. Soundfix had brought out a stack of the vinyl Acoustic at Abbey Roads albums, which were only $8.99! I essentially had to
