Why “Birthday Sex” is the best ever
So there’s this relatively new R&B song by Jeremih called “Birthday Sex.” No guessing games here, you know exactly what it’s about. But unlike that last song about sex and holidays, “Birthday Sex” appears to be 100% serious. I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking: “‘Birthday Sex?’ how pedantic and inane! Let me sip my… Continue reading Why “Birthday Sex” is the best ever
Of Montreal covers The Beatles… kind of
I don’t know how I missed this one, but it’s special. Just so special. Kevin Barnes was messing around on a piano backstage before a show at Brown University, and started playing The Beatles’ “A Day In The Life.” What ensued was a new song that’s pretty much totally not the same at all. Barnes… Continue reading Of Montreal covers The Beatles… kind of
Texts From Last Night is the new FMyLife
This is cool. In an idea clearly inspired by FMyLife, we have new embarrassment blog Texts From Last Night. The tagline is: “Remember that text you shouldn’t have sent last night? We do.” Although it’s not as inspired and original as FMyLife (what, our standards for trendy blogs are so high now?), it’s VERY much fun. What… Continue reading Texts From Last Night is the new FMyLife

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?

“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!)
R.I.S.E: “Rising Independent Singer Songwriter and Spoken Word Evening” feat. Milly Beau’s MaryBeth Doran
You may remember a few weeks back I interviewed KR friends Exit Clov in anticipation of their East Coast tour and some of their rockin’ new music. They performed at Brooklyn’s Public Assembly with a relatively unknown group called Milly Beau (recently signed to Greenhouse Records). (I came in to the concert thinking Milly Beau… Continue reading R.I.S.E: “Rising Independent Singer Songwriter and Spoken Word Evening” feat. Milly Beau’s MaryBeth Doran
Pinkberry vs. Red Mango. Band vs. Band. Which would you rather?
This is intended as a fun post, something a little different around here which stemmed from my thoughts yesterday as I passed yet another Pinkberry and knew to look across the street to find a Red Mango. For those unfamiliar with the terminology here, Pinkberry and Red Mango are both frozen yogurt places – as… Continue reading Pinkberry vs. Red Mango. Band vs. Band. Which would you rather?
