Coldplay’s Free Show @ Madison Square Garden

Tonight I went to the free Coldplay show at MSG. There were not many “surprises”–the show was almost identical in set list as the free Brixton Academy show, but it was super fun nonetheless. You cannot beat FREE!
Here I am in my little bubble…

Setlist: Life in technicolor (intro), Violet hill, clocks, in my place, viva [...]

2 Nights at Santos: Hedi Slimane and Misshapes

So for the last three nights I’ve been heading to Santos Party House (aka 100 Lafayette) for some fashionable parties.
On Friday night was a V Magazine celebratory party for designer/photographer Hedi Slimane’s new book, Rock Diary where PYT and recent Slimane muse Hayes Peebles played a solo set in front of the very stylish crowd. [...]

Diggnation Live Show in New York

I possibly spent my Wednesday night in the nerdiest way possible–at a taping of popular tech podcast, Diggnation starring hosts Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht.
Long-time listeners of the podcast will know that Diggnation often does live shows in their home state of California, but they have also taken their show on the road to places [...]

In their press release it was announced that the sites and dates of the two [...]

Vampire Weekend’s Chris Tomson Has a Case of the On-Camera Giggles

I couldn’t help but be bemused by the most recent commercials for the Amy Adams/Vampire Weekend episode of Saturday Night Live happening this weekend.

NBC are now airing ads featuring the four New York band members standing behind Amy and an SNL cast member, but instead of watching Amy Adams, who is usually the person talking [...]

Hello From the Edge of Earth

Yes I’ve totally fallen off the face of the earth. I got some awful flu-like virus thing and have been off the email and the internet for the past few days. Hope to kinda catch up this weekend and not slip on ice/snow.
I realize the links of the day have been totally CRAPOLA and my [...]
