The Modern Age’s Top 10 Albums of 2006
Ok, so here it goes. I’ve put on my armor. I’m ready for your biggest and best pot shots… The point of this list is to single out the albums *I* enjoyed the most this year–this is not a list of what is cool in any way possible. It’s not an indication of what was […]
Karen O’s Favorite New “Bitch” Band and the Low Down on Simian Mobile Disco’s Coked Up “Hustler” Video
According to her blog post on Dazed Digital (a new website from the peeps at Dazed and Confused magazine), Karen O has taken to championing the all-female Austin, TX quartet, Finally Punk since she is “fond of kids without balls but spines–girls”. Check out their cover of Nirvana’s “Negative Creep” on their MySpaz. Watch their […]
Laura Sees David Frick, We See Karen O.
It’s official. Mike and I are commandeering this site. We are taking this site back to its roots of rock and roll and brit-pop and away from the pop stylings of such individuals as Justin Timberlake. From now on this site is about Lily Allen and other cute girls with British accents. We kid, we […]
Strokes to Play Bowery Venue Capitale on October 17
…and I won’t be there. So not fair! That venue is amazing and for those of you who know me, you know why it’s particularly sad. God, you’re not funny. Other artists include Kanye West and Goldfrapp. But you can win a chance to attend the event over at the Hennessy web site. Link from […]

Jack White Randomly Spreads Love on the Lower East Side
Check out Amrit’s entry about hugging Jack White on Saturday night when all he really wanted to do was talk to Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I cannot believe Amrit did not immediately text me afterwards. You’re SO fired.
From the Desk of a Bummed Out Nick Zinner
You know, sometimes I write stuff on this site and I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not always right. But FINALLY for once my theories have been validated by the actual band of which I wrote about. If you head over to the new Jane magazine Web site, they have some tour diary […]
