Hold Steady @ the Music Hall in Williamsburg

Since I just listened to the new album I’m also going to talk about that in this review. The best thing that could of happened to Williamsburg Brooklyn was the recession. it seems a lot of the annoying no job trustafarians are being pushed back into Bushwick because their parents cant afford their rent. That aside I dragged a good friend along to check out The Hold Steady this past...

I just don't understand tattoos

I’ve figured that theres probably only a few real good reasons to get tattoos. The main being that you’re in a band. If your in a band than I imagine tattoos just enhances your awesome rock image. I’m cool with it. But otherwise I don’t understand it. I’m 26 and I still can’t see the reasoning behind a tattoo. How can you like anything so much that you...

Jukebox the Ghost & Harvey Danger @ The Bell House...

I was real bored last night and figured for 15$ you can’t beat checking out Jukebox the Ghost, who I’ve heard good things about, and see Harvey Danger’s last show. I wanted to reinforce that The Bell House is a downright beautiful venue. It’s amazing that a place like that exists in the industrial parks around the Gowanus Canal. It’s eerily quiet outside that...

The SO SO GLOS @ Delancey 7/29/09

It’s always tough to decipher my confused scribblings when I hear something I really like…however at the time of viewing the SO SO GLOS I managed to jot down “Great energy…clear vocals… and a lot of fucking fun”. The crowd went from 0-60 in about 2 seconds once they hit the stage. I guess the free Colt .45 being given out wasn’t enough. I’m...

Oh..hello there..

I haven’t posted anything in a while…despite seeing tons of bands doing tons of things. I’m going to slowly review all the shows I’ve been to recently, including some stuff from All Points West…which despite ruining my favorite shoes was actually a lot of fun. Most of the press has been bad…but not a terrible situation at all. The fact that tickets were...

Free "The Pains of Being Pure at Heart" Show

If you’re near the Seaport in NYC tonight “The Pains of Being Pure at Heart” will be playing. I like them, they remind me of The Cure. Some people might rag em but their music grows on you and evokes that “not far from home” feeling in me. I’m not 100% on the time I’ll update when I find out.

IKEA: The Ultimate Battlefield

So I was in IKEA not too long ago with my roomate on a mission to buy some inexpensive poorly built furniture that would make our apartment look cooler. After much deliberation we came home with a cactus and 3 kitchen towels…Anyway, the real story is what I observed happening all around me…. “Honey… I don’t think we need this lamp..its 60$ and we have one that...

If you can stand the hipsters

I’d like to finally see Grizzly Bear but I’ll be in Europe. I’d like to check out Girl Talk, The Black Lips, and Dan Deacon. It is free so you can’t beat that.

Noodle House is delicious

I’m sure there’s better places to eat for authentic noodles and all that, but Noodle House on Carmine in the west village is damn tasty. I reccomend the coconut shrimp and pan fried dumplings. Priced right, friendly, and delicious.

The Hold Steady holds it down again 6/09

I feel that since the last time saw THS I didn’t fully appreciate the show. Lofted in the VIP section of Terminal 5 I was missing what probably makes this band such a live draw. At the very core they are a “bar band”. Chock full of sing-a-long lyrics and clapping, their alcohol fueled rhythms break out the rock and roll hiding inside of all of us. I was at this show with a...

Once upon a Cloudy Cult-Like-Night in Brooklyn

My Thursday night was shaping up to be quite uneventful. Work was about to end, and my night was probably going to consist of a 6 pack of Miller High Life, Left 4 Dead, and if things got wild, chinese food. Out of nowhere my night gets a life line tossed to it from my good friend Kodi, who told me to meet him in NYC for a Cloud Cult concert. Before I know it I have on my walking shoes and...

Brian Jonestown Massacred My Brain with Rock

I like to think that I have a very eclectic taste in music. I don’t discriminate, I’ll go to a huge act at a big-time venue, and the next day see a basement show with six people. Music serves a ton of purposes for a number of folks out there. It can back up a night out on the town, entertain you on a subway ride, put you to sleep, or wake you up. It can even happen when you have...

I can't stop eating at.

Caracas. East Village. btwn Ave A and 1st Ave on 7th street. Arepas might be the best tasting thing I’ve had in a long long time. I believe there is also a Brooklyn location. I’m obsessed with the A20 on the menu, its the last one. Its like Chicken, Chorizo, Guacamole, Chimi Churi Sauce, and just all around greatness. Caracas Website New York Times Review
