Let’s Play a Blogger Guessing Game

Tonight was girl’s night out for me and my friends Matt and Billy, who graciously offered me a kickass 3rd row ticket to Antony and the Johnsons at Town Hall. But as luck would have it, I wasn’t the only person with a Web site seated in that very row. Since it’s much more fun […]

Erika’s Last Stand

Those of you still shedding tears over Erika Forster’s departure from Dirty on Purpose will have solace in the fact that she features prominently in the band’s new video for “Mind Blindness.” Shot by Jacob Hensberry, the video depicts the band playing in some dark, basement-like space that is doubling as a birthday party.

When I forwarded it to some of my friends, they loved it too…although for some of them the story line was a little too close for comfort.

I’m not too sure how smart it is to be asking pasty, unhealthy, concert-goers about these sorts of things, but I figure hipster kids love being outdoors too.
I’m thinking about purchasing a folding bike for myself, but I wanted to know if anyone had any recommendations as to brand and model type. I want something […]

Manhattan Carnivore Takes His/Her First Bite

Uh oh, somone has decided to create a new blog called “Manhattan Carnivore,” an obvious swipe at Brooklyn Vegan. His/Her first post details out his/her hatred of all things hipster. The person hates hipsters and all the bands that played at the Southpaw installment of Vicious’s 2nd Anniversary Party that he/she spent a whole night […]
