The Modern Age

We love how all the news outlets over-hype any time New York City has snow. If there is more than three inches it becomes “Blizzard 2005″ or “Storm Watch 2005″ and they show b-roll footage of people going to Home Depot and purchasing loads of salt and shovels, or people going to the supermarkets and [...]

Ok, so last week we saw the hotly tipped band, the Kaiser Chiefs at the Tribeca Grand (above). All in all, we weren’t totally blown away by their songs. Peformance energy was fantastic though. Lead singer Ricky Wilson sure knows how to jump around–he sprung into towering leaps at almost any opportunity he could, and [...]

Could it be true that Kate Moss and former Libertines frontman Pete Doherty are romancing each other? Are there really enough drugs in the UK to keep that relationship going?

Today we were going to dinner right around 6pm and passed by TRL when My Chemical Romance was performing. There were all these little girls in black with dark makeup and white, red, and black posters screaming their heads off despite the 20 degree weather. Amazing!
We love MCR’s look. It’s so very Teenage Jack White [...]

Check out the short but cute easter eggs featured on the Spike Jonze DVD and the Michel Gondry DVD, both released by the Director series from Palm Pictures.
Spike Jonze, cute jew. Also Michel Gondry/Lauri Faggioni video for Devandra Banhart’s “A Ribbon” is premiering at the MoMA this week.

Apparently the new Beck album has surfaced somewhere on l’internet, but we keep showing up too late to catch the party.
Someone, for the love of god send us a link to a site that actually has the MP3s up and running.

The press loves themselves some Conor Oberst articles: New York Times; The Village Voice; Newsweek
