A blog about music, pop culture, the Strokes, Jack White, and NYC at large.
The beauty of the internet is that you don’t have to actually go to events to know all about them or pretend like you’ve been there. Check out these awesome photos taken by Alix McAlpine and MyBlueWristband from the video shoot that occurred last night at Glasslands in Brooklyn for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Karen …

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 …

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.
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 …
