Monday, December 17, 2007. It's getting cold outside, and the best way to get warm is to bury yourself under a pile full of Covers. Cover songs. Over the last couple weeks, there seems to have been an unusually high number of quality cover songs making the rounds, and I'm not even including the I'm Not There. Daniel Rossen - Too Little To Late (JoJo Cover). Definitely not the worst. Okkervil River - Golden Opportunities Mixtape. Lily Allen - Mr. Blue Sky (YouTube link). This is seriously depressing. ...

scatter-shot: Joanna Newsom at BAM - Concert Review
http://scatter-shot.blogspot.com/2008/02/joanna-newsom-at-bam-concert-review.html
Friday, February 01, 2008. Joanna Newsom at BAM - Concert Review. Endured, and my own tickets ensured, it was finally time to take in a show: the first night of Joanna Newsom's. Two-night stint at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Accompanied by the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra. The first Act of the night was. In order, in its entirety. "Emily". Was catchy as all-hell. "Sawdust and Diamonds". Are my two favorite tracks off. Completely blown away, I needed fresh air. As I walked out, I spotted a row o...

Wednesday, January 30, 2008. Overread and Understood #2. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Between Lorimer and Union Square. Spoilers ahead, obviously). I couldn't believe my luck. I had sat down right next to a man who was not only reading my 2nd favorite Harry Potter book, but reading the last few foreboding, bad-ass pages of it. And he was holding the book pretty low, meaning I could read it without being caught. As I looked down at the jacket-less novel (was he embarrassed to be reading this?

Thursday, January 06, 2011. 2010 Best Moments in Song. 2010 Song of the Year. Free Energy - "Free Energy" (0:00 - 0:30). Making out with the wind" might be the lyric of the year (this is 1978, right? And does a nice job of quickly summing up Free Energy on their titular song. LCD Soundsystem - "Dance Yrslf Clean" (3:07 - 3:08). I assume James Murphy mixed the beginning of this song especially low so when these drums finally kick in, you'd wake the fuck up. Mission accomplished. Show too much restraint, b...

Tuesday, July 22, 2008. Took in a show Monday night from Native Korean Rock and the Fishnets. The recently announced side-project from Karen O. Of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Several times during the set I felt like I was experiencing something unique and magical, as Karen's Cheshire Cat smile exposed that she was simultaneously nervous and overjoyed about wearing these songs on her sleeve for the first time. Native Korean Rock - OOO. Here's a couple decent YouTube vids from the show:. View my complete profile.
