  • Sick Feed – Saturday Benefit for Veterans

    (click picture for full-sized poster)
    You have an amazing opportunity this Saturday to not only see an amazing band but also do a little good at the same time. Sick Feed, yes – the killer cover band that rocked Jenna Bush’s (now Jenna Henry) DC wedding party after-party at the Rookery, is playing at the [...]

    Put on the Playlist: The Presets at the 9:30 Club Friday

    The Australian electronic duo The Presets, Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes, is absolutely one of my favorite bands of 2008 – especially with the release of their album Apocalypso earlier this year. The album includes a ton of great songs that have become staples of my playlist – such as Talk Like That, My [...]

    Put on the Playlist: Suburban Tragedy

    A friend of mine turned me onto Suburban Tragedy earlier this year and this week I’m finally have some free time and put up a post on them.
    I’m a ridiculously big fan of bands that can incorporate a piano into its sound and still maintain its power – and Suburban Tragedy does it amazingly [...]

    Put On The Playlist: Lovin’s for Fools video

    Bon Iver (aka Justin Vernon) cover’s the Sarah Siskind song Lovin’s for Fools all the time when he’s playing (there’s a bunch of videos of him doing it up on YouTube) – but in Nashville on August 11, 2008 she played it with him live.
    The song by itself is amazing – both the original and [...]

    Put on the Playlist: The Teenagers – Feeling Better video

    A while back I wrote about how the Teenagers were asking for fans to submit some user-generated content for one of their music videos.  Well, they finally put it out this month (and shared some fan vids on their myspace blog too) – and its pretty fun and slightly ridiculous.
    This is the type of [...]

    Put On The Playlist: Kanye’s new Love Lockdown live video from the 08 VMAs

    UPDATE 2: the video is back up on Kanye’s blog but now on vimeo and no longer daily motion – so I can’t embed it here but please click thru.

    UPDATE: I had embedded the video shared on Kanye’s own blog – where it looks like it was taken down also. I could hunt for [...]

    The Best Party at the DNC

    I’d say probably the hardest – and most fun – I went to while I was in Denver for the DNC was Unconventional 08. After another long day at The Big Tent ending with Joe Biden’s speech – and a bomb scare outside the garage where my car was parked – I finally got [...]
