Amanda Fucking Palmer in Cabaret (American Repertory Theater). The first time I’ve wanted to see a musical in decades. Rehearsals have begun. One show sold out already. If I was cool I’d start saying I didn’t want to see it right about now. (The video above is for “Leeds United” from Who Killed Amanda Palmer.)

Something new in something old. Here The Rifles give us a standard indie-rock hammer on the eighth note song and a two-chord progression to build tension toward the chorus (think Foo Fighters “Everlong” and you’ll hear the song before you hear it). It’s a formula that is still the easiest way to generate an energetic [...]

Above is the wonderful Joe Centeno-created video for the last taste of new music from The Wrens, now 18 months old. You can still download “Marked Up” for free from Stereogum, right here. The Wrens are one of my favorite bands. They make the debate for the Desert Island/Trapped in an Elevator list. They take [...]

Got two for you today. I’m procrastinating when I shouldn’t be, but isn’t that the definition? Do me a favor and listen to these so I can claim it was worth it in the thin ether of weightless justifications. Rather than avoid the fact that The Gaslight Anthem are constantly compared to Springsteen, let’s take [...]

I haven’t posted for a few days because I’ve had better things to do. Mostly. Also, I’ve picked up a large freelance project with a tight deadline. So between that, watching my sons (18 mo old twins), and the other thing, I haven’t had anything to put here. If I were British I might say [...]

Family Band is based in Brooklyn, but you can feel the cabin in the Catskills where they record right through the sound of their first album, Miller Path. I haven’t listened to it enough for it to fully take hold, but I have a feeling it will. My wife got me into this track and [...]

I’m addicted to mp3 blogs because I’m a new music junkie. Like Iggy Pop, I need more. Before my kids were born 18 months ago, I was listening to several hundred new tracks every week, combing through them to put together sets for a weekly streaming new music podcast. I never could have managed without [...]
