Majical Cloudz @ Le Belmont 3/1/2013 He invited me to the le after party. And by the time I was half way down the block I couldn’t remember why I refused. There was a freezing snow falling that crunched under my boots. I was replaying the moment after the kiss. We both blinked dumbly, smiling. [...]

MS MR, Or How Music Videos Look in Brooklyn
MS MR released a legit interesting video about an hour ago. It’s Monday morning, so here are my reactions on watching it before and after getting high. BEFORE -0:30: Trying to find the skip ad button. Sigh. Ignore. Ignore. Volkswagen something. 0:00: Okay, HD. Mini-expand. 0:10: Slo-mo. Always with the effin slo-mo. I mean, I [...]
Musiciens Je Veux Frencher – Getting Weird with The Growlers
Musiciens Je Veux Frencher – The Growlers @ Sala Rossa 1/27/13 It was that time of night when I had to cock block the lead singer. Ana swayed gracelessly on her high-heeled boots. Her eyelashes rustled her bangs. “You guys were so great,” she was saying to Growlers’ vocalist Brooks Neilson. Her body weight lurched [...]
Shakey Graves
Here’s another blast from the past. Last summer we caught a set from Shakey Graves, and it was a wonderful experience. Even Austin’s mayor is a fan. (February 9th is officially Shakey Graves day.) Check out his performance (“Word of Mouth”) live at the Parish.
People Who Frenched at Igloofest
People Who Frenched (me) at Igloofest @ le Vieux Port, Montreal 2/9/2013 There was a moment I stopped dancing and looked up into the night sky. The snow fell like confetti, suspended in ribbons by the stage light beams. Tommy Four Seven was building his next deep-house drop, and I was pushed forward by a [...]

Chasca drops a “Cherry Bomb” Live in Austin, TX
This is a blast from the past. We caught the last half of Chasca’s set at The Fort ATX way back last summer. It was fabulous. I reached out to the band for a brief description, and they gave me this chestnut: Chasca is as Chasca does. We’ll leave it at that. Check out more [...]

Musiciens Je Veux Frencher—A Koriass kick to the ovaries
Musiciens Je Veux Frencher | Koriass —@ L’Astral 2012 Gangsters. In sweaters. I drink my Boréale Rousse from the balcony. Looking down, I’m both amused and bewildered by the sea of skinny white kids in baseball caps. The hologram stickers reflect off their flat bills. This may be the only hip hop concert I’ve ever [...]
