Videos: Laugh Your Ass Off Friday!
30, Oct 2009Normally I post my favorite performance videos on Friday, but I thought in the spirit of Halloween I would post a few videos of the great Green Man from It\’s Always Sunny. Unfortunately when someone other than Charlie puts on green spandex it’s the opposite of funny. So instead let’s just laugh our asses off at some moments of hilarity from the show [...]
Videos: St. Vincent and Andrew Bird
29, Oct 2009
Did you catch St. Vincent (Annie Clark) and Andrew Bird on Austin City Limits this past weekend? Well I didn’t either, thankfully YouTube was created for those of us who can’t remember when anything is on and do not yet possess one of those fancy DVR machines. Here’s St. Vincent performing “Marrow” from the telecast:

Vintage Vinyl In-Store: Peter Bjorn & John
28, Oct 2009
Peter Bjorn & John are playing The Gargoyle on November 13th, but if that’s not enough PB&J for you they’ll also be stopping by Vintage Vinyl at 4pm earlier that day for a special in-store performance. Living Thing, the new album from PB&J finds the Stockholm-trio returning to a formula that works – electro-acoustic tunes about love lost. [...]
Julian Casablancas gave us a glimpse of how his synth-heavy solo debut, Phrazes For The Young (out 11/3 via Cult/RCA), will be performed live when he brought “11th Dimension” to Conan last night. I’m still not sure if I love or hate what Casablancas is doing as a solo artist, but I’ll keep giving it a chance.

This Toronto-based trio has emerged from the Canadian underground to sign with Saddle Creek and bring their brand of Neutral Milk Hotel style Indie-Rock to the masses. Well maybe not the masses, but they are bringing it to Off Broadway on Wednesday, December 9 along with [...]

Personally I’m more excited about the sophomore release from The Swell Season (pictured above) and the new album from Tegan and Sara. Here are some other interesting albums out today, what [...]

Live on the Telly: 10/26 – 10/30
26, Oct 2009
There are too damn many good performances coming up this week on late night to pick only a few to discuss. I will say as a long-time Weezer fan I am excited about catching them perform some new material on back-to-back nights on Letterman. They may have put out a couple of weak albums over the [...]

There’s another full board of shows this week, but the list is light on big names.

If you haven’t seen the Rabbits yet make sure to check them out, and if you really enjoy the show [...]

In honor of this Sunday’s Bruce Springsteen show at the Scottrade Center and for some Halloween fun I thought I’d share the Boss’s 2008 video for “A Night With The Jersey Devil”. It’s scary folks, so try and refrain from pooping your pants:
