A five-piece from Miami who have supported acts such as The Noisettes, Bloc Party and Tokyo Police Club, The JeanMarie bring us a plethora of different sounds throughout their recently released (…well, January) album, Annie Jump Cannon. You know, I realized it’s kind of odd that I’m liking this album from Jordan Davidson (vocals/guitar), Curtis… Continue reading The JeanMarie

Still Flyin’
Still Flyin’ actually just took off for me – another band I hadn’t previously known that has me excited. Their debut album, Never Gonna Touch The Ground, dropped April 7 on Ernest Jenning Record Co. Still Flyin’ mixes catchy 70’s-ish pop rock with newish boy girl filled out harmonies and fun, expansive songs. I should… Continue reading Still Flyin’
‘Dark Was The Night’ at Radio City Music Hall
Why does it seem like only now, with just a week before the show, is promotion occuring for Dark Was The Night at Radio City Music Hall? I’ve seen advertisements (posters/flyers) all over downtown, yet I hadn’t seen anything less than a week ago. Can someone tell me what’s up? In case you haven’t heard,… Continue reading ‘Dark Was The Night’ at Radio City Music Hall
I hope you’re not reading this
I’m sure every person on the East Coast has twittered, changed their facebook status, and blogged about this crazy (in a good way) heat, but if you are reading this post, you shouldn’t be (and I shouldn’t be writing it, wtf?) Unless it’s to get some music for your iPod to be outside in the… Continue reading I hope you’re not reading this
The Sizzling Sarah Tracey
Funny stuff happens on facebook. You stalk people, you tell everyone who doesn’t care about what you’re doing, and sometimes you even find new music! While perusing (nothing more, I swear) the profile of a friend last week (thanks Lauren!) I found a comment on her wall from someone named Sarah Tracey, mentioning her first… Continue reading The Sizzling Sarah Tracey
Staples plays good music?
I just heard Greg Laswell‘s “How The Day Sounds” playing on the overhead at Staples. Huh? Is good music actually starting to proliferate across all industries these days?? I’m actually not so surprised in all honesty. Either way, good for Laswell; He plays accesible, warm piano pop with soothing vocals. Three Flights from Alto Nido… Continue reading Staples plays good music?

You can purchase it on Amie Street for a grand total of $1.66 (until it inevitably goes up.) This one gets me all excited and stuff – in… Continue reading Suckers: It Gets Your Body Movin’ [MP3]
“MoCap, LLC” coming to Spike TV this week (Thursday night at Midnight!)
So we always promote other people’s stuff here. But this time, I’m self-indulging and promoting something that I myself (yes me!) have been working on here in NYC. “MoCap, LLC” is a half-hour comedy show created and written by my colleague and friend, Chris DeLuca, premiering Thursday, April 23 (this week) at midnight. I know,… Continue reading “MoCap, LLC” coming to Spike TV this week (Thursday night at Midnight!)
