Avalanche: Best of 2011

Once again, the great releases of this year are roundly ignored by other 'best-of' music compilers - fools, one and all, but that is precisely why you come here. I am again mystified how some of these releases got such short shrift (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...)

The Monday Set: Peter Murphy – Los Angeles – 3/14/11

Earlier this year I caught Peter Murphy at the Mayan here in Los Angeles. It was the first time I had ever been to that venue. It was also the first time I had ever caught Peter Murphy solo. As a long time Bauhaus et al. fan, it was never in the cards for me to see him solo before (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. Under normal circumstances, it would suck to be that guy, but if you're the vocalist in a hardcore band, it could be used as a pretty unique gimmick to separate yourself from the pack in a crowded marketplace (More...)

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 Monday Set: Bear In Heaven – Katowice – 8/8/10

I was a day behind in getting this "Monday Set" posted, but hopefully it was worth the wait. Here's a fantastic live Bear In Heaven recording that I traded for last year. It was the first date of their fall/winter tour which spanned nearly four months (More...)
