The Modern Age

As soon as the ’90s ended, music fans were like, ‘Fuck you!’ Now the young people are taking over and are like, ‘I don’t need you to tell me what to like and not to like anymore!’ Take the choices and give them back to the kids, I say.”
When I read this quote from Drew [...]

I was just listening to some tracks by this band from Ohio, Gil Mantera’s Party Dream. They are synth-y and a little bit dancey, but in a light, airy sort of way. If I had to pick a food that I think best represents this band, I would say they are like the crazy green [...]

Sadly right now Pagoda is probably playing Vicious, but I’m at home. This is because I’ve been up since 6:30am and I’ve been to Pennsylvania and just got back. All on about 4 hours sleep. This little girl is pooped. I’m also missing The Kites.
How was the show?

Ok, it was really only two comedians, but in a span of 20 minutes. I went with S.G. to Momofuku (aka- one of THE BEST ramen places in NYC) and saw David Cross there. This made S.G. sad because that meant that David wasn’t filming Arrested Development. Does anyone have any idea if a network [...]

As you may have heard already, the new Apple commercial talking about the inclusion of Intel chips is almost a shot-for-shot reproduction of The Postal Service video for “Such Great Heights.” It was shot by the same directors, but that is absolutely no excuse. I thought these kinds of negative press publicity stunts were only [...]

Details for the Editors show on Saturday change up until the last minute. The band was scheduled to play The Annex, but when the band went to soundcheck, the venue was still a contstruction site! Yikes! Luckily they were able to snatch up Rothko at the last minute and the show thankfully went on. Of [...]

Oh boy…
Due to unforeseen delays in construction on the Annex (which is a new club), tonight’s Editors show (Saturday, January 21) has been moved to Rothko.
Rothko is located just around the corner at 116 Suffolk Street between Rivington and Delancey.  To get there from the Annex, walk South to Rivington then walk East 4 [...]

Julian as a used car salesman/Florida grandpa, Nick as Steven Tyler, Fab as Mr. Kotter, Albert as…er…drunk Albert (??), and Nikolai as Lucas Haas’s Amish character in Witness. This is the stuff Strokes covers for SPIN are made of…well at least for 2006.
Be sure to check out the February issue (on stands NOW) which features [...]

Woah! This is NUTS. Hot off the PR press:
Mylo has been forced to cancel his forthcoming dates in the U.S. due to a hearing condition.
Having contracted a virus over the Christmas period which has caused him temporary hearing loss, Mylo had been advised to cancel live shows in Japan and Australia at the start of [...]

I was inspired by a comment left by someone claiming to be “Project Catwalk’s” Matthew Bowkett on my “Project Cuties” post to do some searching for some “Project Runway” contestants on Myspace.com. It should be noted that as of this interview with Andrae, “Project Cuties” contestant Daniel V. does NOT have a Myspace profile.
Oh, BTW, [...]
