So during CMJ 2007 I saw this band called Yeasayer. They looked like a bunch of fucking creeps but the music was amazing. Like all caps AMAZING even. It was a weird mix of backwoods and robot future.Then I got the album and while I didn't think the production was great the music was some of the best I'd heard in years. I went on to declare they are the best Brooklyn band since TVOTR. Based on the

If you're down with the whole hipster dance party scene then there's only one choice for tonight and it's Six Six Sick. It's like an all-star lineup of nightlife figures, past & present. Even my lazy ass is getting off the couch for this one. I'll be the guy that looks just a little too old for a party like this (no not Bronques or WK, the other one). There are two hour long, back-to-back, open

On Thursday Gabe and I went to The Studio to see Richard Lloyd. Here's what Gabe had to say about the show.------------------------------------------I was at home cramping a frightening amount of recording gear into my shoebox-size room when I got a text from Matt.“Richard Lloyd 2nite?”“Recording a new song tonite.

There's a shit ton of shit going on tonight (I'm a regular fuckin' wordsmith ain't I). There's seriously 15 solid choices tonight but I've narrowed it down to the places I'll be likely hitting.First I'm heading to Legion to check out Workout and Sherpas. Our homeboys Forest City were supposed to play but they got sick. Then I might check out Art Brut at Brooklyn Bowl, because they're fucking fun.

RCRDLBL has two free Wild Yaks MP3's posted, go download them. You probably already have Blood Red Field but the River May Come MP3 is a live version, so that's cool. Don't forget that Wild Yaks officially have an album out now. You can buy it on Amazon.Link:Wild Yaks RCRDLBL

On Saturday the above mentioned bands played a Todd P curated show at the Brooklyn Museum. It was part of the museum's First Saturday series. Bob Gruen was also on location with an exhibit and special discussion panel.I arrived at the museum a bit later then I wanted, thanks MTA! The Beets were almost done their set at this point. Despite seeing them many times, and even booking them, I didn't

There's a pretty killer event going down at the Brooklyn Museum today. First of all there's a free Todd P curated show with The Beets, Crystal Stilts, & Grass Widow at Brooklyn Museum. Bob Gruen is also going to be there speaking on a panel or something. They have tons of other shit happening for free at the museum as well.Then it's over to Third Ward for Multiverse Playground with Boy Crisis,

CMJ darlings Freelance Whales are playing Pianos tonight. This band was without a doubt my favorite discovery during CMJ.They're fucking adorable. They kinda sound like Arcade Fire but much more childish and I mean that in a good, no great, way. They sound like a kids version of Arcade Fire and look like a whole band of Matt & Kims, all smiles - all the time. When I first saw them I turned do my

Apparently this is only available to stream today, so get while it's hot. I did not realize that Omar apparently records like 12 solo albums every year. I guess there's a lot leftover from 25-minute Mars Volta jams. I haven't listened to the whole thing yet but I dig it so far.Link:Stream Xenophanes on MySpace

This video right here changed the world. When this hit MTV and The Box (remember that shit?) within hours every punk kid with a skateboard in America was rocking Dickies. This was the soundtrack to our lives we were all waiting for. This song inspired half the kids I know to pick up guitars. When we all rushed out and bought the album we were even more blown away. Adrenaline became the standard

It's a good night for rock n' roll, especially punk. If you're in the Burg you've got two solid choices (Bikes In The Kitchen & Crashin' In parties) right across the street from each other. N.6th is the place to be tonight. There's also an insane Fucked Up show at the Masonic Temple. I guess all Fucked Up shows are insane but this time they've got Andrew WK and Vivian Girls as additional band

Saturday night I checked out the VICE 15-year anniversary / Halloween party at some giant warehouse on N.10th. I got there early and didn't have to deal with any of the door drama that ruined the night for a few people. The space itself was impressive, the booze was free, the bands were pretty awesome and the DJs were playing 90's tunes. Apparently though all types of fucked up shit was going on,

Here's some shit to do tonight. We've got loft parties, warehouse parties, bars, open bars, bowling, live bands, dead bands, deth rally...you get the point. Good fucking luck getting into the VICE party.

There's a killer show at Silent Barn tonight. In the spirit of Halloween and pretending to be someone you're not there's a cover show tonight.

Another BSC favorite, Gunfight!, just got some love from Spin. The band shot a short video interview about their song "All You Need". You can check out the video and download the song through the link below.Link:Gunfight! on SpinIf you still haven't seen them yet you should check them out tomorrow at K&M. Plus I played a small role in putting that show together. It's fucking free (RSVP here) and

Our pals, Hank & Cupcakes, performed live recently on Fearless Music. The taping was at Crash Mansion. Apparently they won some online vote and will be rebroadcast, which is very cool. This is a killer band and they deserve the attention. Plus, they've played three Brooklyn Ski Club shows so they're practically part of the gang at this point. There are also two H&C three shows this weekend,

Our buds in Bottle Up & Go are playing a free show at Brooklyn Bowl tonight. In the world of sports we've got Game 1 of the World Series. Normally I don't give a shit about baseball (at least not since McGwire/Sosa/Bonds ruined it) but I'm from Philly and I live in NYC so Phillies vs. Yankees is a pretty big deal. Despite not being interested in baseball in years I will always hate the fucking

The day shows today are sick. There's just too much to do. I'm skipping the Fader Fort, where I basically lived last year during CMJ, for the superior lineups of these 3 shows.12:30-2:30: Brooklyn Vegan Day show at Pianos, free Bloody Marys if you get there when the doors open.

I had a bunch of offers to do a Brooklyn Ski Club showcase for CMJ this year. But because I hate hectic madness I decided to not do anything for BSC (although there will be more shows soon). Then this show happened, which I'm involved in but nothing to do with Ski Club. Although, it's not actually a CMJ show.I often use the word "awesome" to describe things but that just isn't good enough for

Danish rock duo The Raveonettes just played two New York shows in support of their new album In And Out Of Control. One at Webster and one in Brooklyn at the Music Hall of Wiliamsburg. They also played Maxwell's in New Jersey. We weren't in attendance, but we did get a chance to ask a few question of Sune Rose Wagner, the founder and spokesman of sorts for the two piece about a multitude of

Here We Go Magic are playing a show at Union Pool tonight. Trust me when I say that you will never see this band in a venue this small again. Also on the bill are A Rose Parade and I.U.D. which I think are bands with TVOTR and !!! dudes or something like that. I can't remember, sorry. Starts at 8PM. Das Racist and Boy Crisis are playing Piano's. This will be good drunken fun. $10.No Age & WOODS

In an effort to better get the word out about upcoming Brooklyn Ski Club shows and parties I decided to create an email list. I will only send info about shows and parties.
