The Monday Set(s): Holy Ghost! – NYC – 2/2/11 & 4/1/11
I've been sitting on these Holy Ghost! shows for a while, but I figured it was time for me to get off my ass and post them. Since both of these sets are not full length I decided to bundle them into a single post (More...)
Mark: Best of 2011
Since I grow my music library by bouncing back and forth between decades and music styles, playing catch up on the music I've missed, I don't really have a "Top 10 Albums of 2011" (More...)
The Monday Set: Austra – New York City – 10/5/11
I recently discovered Austra when I came across the song "Lose It" and was immediately hooked. It's one of those handful of songs that hit me right in my musical G-spot. The whole song is perfectly written and I listened to it like 30 times in a row the day I first heard it (More..)
Men Without Hats – Living in China/WDTBG?/Safety Dance (Live)
I'm pretty sure I'm the only person in America who is actually a fan of Men Without Hats. Other than the enduring "Safety Dance" most people don't know any of their other songs, which is a shame, because they wrote some really good synth pop in the 80s (more...)
Cold Cave – Love Comes Love/TLOE/Catacombs (Live)
In my younger metal days, I remember hearing about a hardcore band called American Nightmare who had a singer with one hand.

The Monday Set: TV On The Radio – Brooklyn – 4/12/11
TV on the Radio was on tour this past spring in support of their soon to be released album "Nine Types of Light". April 12, the albums' release date was left conspicuously open on the band's itinerary. About a week before, the band announced this special club show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg (More...)
Reverend Horton Heat – Bales Of Cocaine/Loaded Gun/…More (Live)
The non-stop touring machine known as Reverend Horton Heat celebrated their 25th Anniversary, which occurred sometime last year. As many bands are doing nowadays, they decided to mark the occasion with a special tour (More...)
The Monday Set: Cut Copy – New York City – 4/1/11
This past April, Cut Copy made their triumphant return to NYC after playing Brooklyn last summer, which was a brief post-Lollapalooza stopover at the Williamsburg Waterfront. This show was the 1st of a 3 night stand at NYC's Terminal 5 (More...)
The Wednesday Set: LCD Soundsystem – New York – 3/28/11 (Set 3)
So this was the opening night of the much-hyped "farewell" concert series for LCD Soundsystem. After the villainous triple threat of corporate America, scalpers, and free market capitalism hijacked the ticket sale for the Madison Square Garden show, snatching up all the tickets (more...)
The Tuesday Set: LCD Soundsystem – New York – 3/28/11 (Set 2)
So this was the opening night of the much-hyped "farewell" concert series for LCD Soundsystem. After the villainous triple threat of corporate America, scalpers, and free market capitalism hijacked the ticket sale for the Madison Square Garden show, snatching up all the tickets (more...)
