LMB NYC: This Week’s Concert Calendar
Justin and I have talked about doing an "upcoming shows" list like this for a while. Rather than continuing to just talk about doing it, I figured why the hell not just start posting something and worry about all the details at a later date. So, here you go. This week's... more

Panda Bear @ Governor’s Island, NYC 9/11/10
On Justin's strong recommendation (err...absolute insistence), I headed over to Governor's Island last night to check out Panda Bear. Despite being exhausted from a late-night on Friday, the outing alone could have been worth it just for the ferry ride over to Governor's. Not only was it an absolutely beautiful... more

Apollo Sunshine @ Mercury Lounge, NYC 10/29/08
If there is a worse night of the week to see a gig than Wednesday I don't know what it is. Wednesday is hump day; three days of work have already tired you out, but you still have two more staring you down, so it's not always best to... more
Tonight: The Apollo Sunshine Experience and More Tour Dates
The Apollo Sunshine tour rolls on further with three nights (starting tonight) as The Apollo Sunshine Experience, a tribute-esque performance with costumes and music celebrating the art of Jimi Hendrix.

Road Recovery 10th Anniversary @ Nokia Theatre, NYC 4/17/08
When push comes to shove, I am a child of the 90's. Sure, I was born in the early 80's, but I think that was a decade of music that completely passed me by. For me, my musical enlightenment began with the angsty (God, not that word again)... more
