You may remember Chloe Sevigny from such things as her role in Boys Don’t Cry, or how about her wooden performance in the new Woody Allen flick Melinda & Melinda. No? Well surely you remember her from her appearance at the July 2004 opening of Target in Brooklyn. Yes! That Chloe Sevigny!
Well it’s certainly nice [...]

Ahhh…photos of pop stars before they were famous. Where would our lives be without them?
It was only yesterday that annoying pop singer Jason Mraz was dressing up like my favorite Winnie the Pooh character, Piglet. Unfortunately poor Jason hasn’t grown an inch since this picture was taken, but he sure does look absolutely perfect in [...]

Now where am I going to read about me giving hand-jiggles at the [...]

Sadly, I’m totally sick today so I probably won’t be heading to night #1 of Ed Harcourt’s 2 week residency at Pianos, but that’s no reason you can’t head over there and enjoy this rare opportunity to see a great singer/songwriter up close and personal.

Check out the “Hello Tomorrow” single art off of iTunes. Sent in by a reader named Tess, I present this picture of Karen O for the rest of you to ogle.
Now would also be a good time to link to this older Newsweek story that talks about the music scene in New York and the [...]

Check out this article that hates on all the people who are now calling themselves “DJs.” I especially like the description for the “Angry Hip Hop DJ.” Link from VPH.
