As will become apparent throughout the course of these reviews, I pay very little attention to what actually happens in Brooklyn, NY. It’s a fine place. I visited there a couple of summers ago and hung out with some friends of mine. But, I swear, there are at least eighty bands coming out of there […]

Javelin is another in a long line of Brooklyn-via-(insert somewhere else that’s probably pretty cool but “not as cool as Brooklyn”) bands. They work in the vein of The Avalanches or Quiet Village, making sample-heavy tracks with “lost” and obscure sounds. Unlike those bands, Javelin does integrate live instrumentation into their music like guitar, for […]

I have a number of records I’ve gotten from PR companies that I feel like I should do something with, so I’m going to put up very brief music reviews for each one. I think 250 words will be the maximum because I have to get through like ten of these. If I go over, […]

As I noted in the post that is directly below this one, this was the first day that I had full range to explore the festival. I had been telling people that I was going to go to four venues this night: The Mill, PS One, Yacht Club, and Tobacco Bowl. So, I’ll organize it […]

I know that this is late, but that just is what it is. Wednesday was the second day of me being at the Wherehouse for shows. Unlike on Tuesday, I had to stay at the front because I was running door. This is one of the more thankless tasks on the face of the planet, […]
