Seeing the photos from Girl Talk at Monolith reminded me of an idea I had to get some posts up that I long since forgot. See, sometimes when I go to a show, there’s not always an obvious sentiment that I get from it. I have no clear takeaway. I know myself that sometimes words [...]

Video: The Disco Biscuits at Fuji Rock 2009 – “Park Avenue”

Videos

Last week, Justin posted some new Disco Biscuits dates along with a video of one of their newer tunes, which had him questioning the band’s new sound and direction. Although I tend to agree with Justin’s take on some of the band’s newer material, this video from their performance at Fuji Rock is pretty killer, [...]

Bumbershoot 2009: Sunday Recap

Festivals

Unlike Bumbershoot 2008, which was a gorgeous 70-degrees-and-sparsely-cloudy weekend, Bumbershoot 2009 was a much more Seattlesque weekend.  The Yeah Yeah Yeahs kicked off our Sunday afternoon, but between the ugly weather and a lackluster crowd, the show never really took off.  I have to admit that I’m only a fan of four or five of [...]

Even though I’ve not always been the biggest fan of Umphrey’s Mcgee’s music, I definitely give the band credit for continually experimenting and thinking of new ways to engage with their fans. I thought their strategy for releasing their last album, Mantis, was an innovative approach. I also thought their experiment offering webcasts on iClips.net [...]

Phish – 12/31/99 – After Midnight from Phish on Vimeo. The anxiousness inside me for Phish Festival 8 is hard to explain, and for the next 45 days I’ll probably be doing nothing but studying the band and the festivals of the past. I woke up this morning to see that they had updated their [...]

The real standout moment from the Trey Anastasio show on Saturday night at Carnegie Hall had to have been “You Enjoy Myself,” and you can tell by the multiple videos floating around already on YouTube. This part one and part two are good enough for me, and I just downloaded a good copy so this [...]

Phew. I’ve had one crazy summer! My sincere apologies for the radio silence. Moving to a big city will do that to a guy. For those that don’t know, I’m now officially a resident of Brooklyn and I couldn’t be more excited. Although there are ton of reasons to get excited about living in NYC, [...]
