November’s been a busy month of gigs and work, but the arrival of my new iPhone has kept me company and given my a few new ways and opportunities to listen to music (though it sure as hell takes a chunk out of the battery life). It’s also been a great month for me DJing, so some of the tracks below have even been tested on a live audience, so I hope that you’ll like them too. Oh,...

IFC's Dinner with the Band premiered tonight featuring Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings , and the kitchen was crowded . The episode featured a lot of tired-looking Dap-Kings standing/sitting and looking on as chef Sam Mason put together the *meal. I was kind of hoping for more energy from somebody on the set, but everyone looked like the morning after pulling an all-night set at The Bowery. *Since...

Owen Pallett is adaptable. If he's performing solo outdoors under cloud cover, he'll seemingly conjure rainstorms while debuting a righteous new tune from his forthcoming Domino debut Heartland ; while at the Brooklyn Academy of Music , he'll seamlessly flesh out his tones with the help of a symphony orchestra. That sort of versatility is a prerequisite to being the New York Times ' quintessential...

I got the opportunity to see War on Drugs guitarist and recent Matador acquisition Kurt Vile on the final date of his American tour. I turned the following in to another local blog but was horrendously late in doing so. I still find this review relevant to anyone curious about Vile, who has become one [...] Related posts: 9 Concerts in 10 Days. #1: Ratatat @ The Black Cat, Washington DC 10/2/08 Sharon...

It has only been a few months since I made the move to Brooklyn from Charlottesville, so I thought I’d give a little Cville music shout-out. Although it’s a pretty small city, Charlottesville has always had a fairly bustling live music scene. But over the last few years, it had been marred by a [...] Related posts: Help Rebuild the Georgia Theatre: See Zac Brown Band at the Fox Theatre...

Toronto – If there’s ever been a neighborhood that has risen to prominence in the past few years, it’s definitely Brooklyn. I guess in actuality, they are a city. Anyways, it’s quite impossible to deny that Brooklyn has produced some of the best music in the past few years and I guess finally some media [...] Related posts: Remix Wednesdays: Grizzly Bear – Two Weeks (Fred...
