BETWEEN SNACKS AND THROWBACKS

MP3: Stingray Migration - "Boneyard"

Stingray Migration features the songwriting and vocal stylings of such Bennington lovers as Nate (Skippy) Luce, Michael Chinworth, Maia Friedman, Will Stratton, and more...

Check out this recent mention of another lovely Bennington group via Choco Bobka.

VIDEO: Andrew Cedermark @ Market Hotel

Andrew Cedermark all the way up from Charlottesville for the showcase. Love Jacob Wolf on bass with the face-meltin' enthusiasm in this one.

(Anyone have this track name...?)

VIDEO: Underwater Peoples Showcase

Alex Bleeker and the Freaks! Lo-fi Neil vibes. Jersey lovin to the max<3.

Family Portrait. Oh man oh man oh man... These dudes are the ultimate in face meltery.

Beach Fossils with the jungle pop heat and psychedelic surf-rock energy!

Ducktails was there. Oh man! The scene leader himself! It was suuuper hypnagogic.

OKAY, so, silly labels aside, this was the best NYC show evz. Those who stuck around and braved heat stroke can/will attest. The highlights were the super sexy sweaty smokin set by Family Portrait, some sweet-ass covers (Fluffy Lumbers on the Cranberries' "Dreams," Liam the Younger on Nirvana's "Territorial Pissings," Real Estate on Weezer's "Sweater Song"), a v-chat sesh with Julian Lynch live on clarinet from UW in Madison... Underwater Peoples has stolen my heart. Stay tuned!

Shooting at Market Hotel is hard, man. I wish the image quality was better. All videos will follow in the coming days. 9 hours of footage... I've been up for days running on just cigarettes and blueberries... pplz bear with me!

"Is that a knife, mate??"

Editing Underwater Peoples showcase footage all night/morning and watching Crocodile Dundee loop on cable television while shit captures and renders.



Tavo Carbone and co. played a sweet show at Cake Shop tonight. Three dudes from Yeasayer were there partying with us cos their drummer also plays drums in Helado Negro, who headlined tonight. Talked to Ahmed from Yeasayer who was pretty sweet. My drunk hussy friend yelled some shit at him. So that was nice, too.

VIDEO: Maia Friedman - I Love How You Love Me

Love this beautiful girl's beautiful voice as she sings this beautiful song (Jeff Mangum arrangement of Phil Spector original).

MP3: Spinto Band - "Jackhammer"

New song by the Spinto Band - Jackhammer. Don't miss their show at Union Hall, the Park the Van CMJ Showcase w/Pepi Ginsberg, Generationals, The High Strung, Floating Action, and Golden Boots. Oct 23!

Bunny! Oh no!
New music video for the Walkmen song "On the Water" off of You & Me. It is definitely one of my favorite tracks off that album, which I just heard them perform live and complete with horns section at Summerstage in Central Park, for not the first but second time this summer. Lucky me!

Animal Collective @ Prospect Park 08/14/09

Animal Collective at Prospect Park's Bandshell last night was the best birthday present a gal could ask for. My personal fave part of the show was "Slippi," off of Here Comes the Indian. (Listen to the live track recorded from their January 09 show at Bowery below.) Other highlights include "Chores," of course a big dance-and-sing-along to "Summertime Clothes," and the super sweet sick sightly seascape set designed by Abby Portner. Sharrrrkkkkk!
