VHS or Beta
I went with Jenny to see VHS or Beta at the Highline Ballroom last night. I’ve been a fan of VHSOB since discovering them in the Indie/Rock Playlist for November ‘07. Big surprise seeing them live was that they are very jammy. Oh, and a lot of their songs sound very similar.

Going Full Lincoln — Bearduary Appearance on Today Show Tomorrow
Tomorrow morning I’m going to be on the Today Show at the NBC Studios. They’ll be shaving my Bearduary beard and possibly giving me a free haircut (score!) while the hosts interview the Bearduary founders.
The taping is supposed to take place at 10am EST on Tuesday and last for about 45 minutes. I don’t [...]
Bedouin Soundclash @ Knitting Factory
Bedouin Soundclash @ Knitting Factory
For Rob’s birthday party, we went out in Tribeca and then saw Bedouin Soundclash play the Knitting Factory. I had never heard of them before about a week ago, but I was really impressed by their show. They are reggae-ish, with a little punk in there. Their sound, [...]
Magnetic fields
I scored a last-minute ticket to see the Magnetic Fields at Town Hall last night. It was a really subdued, acoustic show. There was a lot of conversation among the band members, and the whole thing felt like some sort of music-enhanced fireside chat.
I enjoyed the show, but I wanted them [...]
Thing a Day overview
I haven’t been posting every day, but I’ve been doing things every day.
On Wednesday the “thing” I made was a tattoo. On Saturday I took a picture of my sweet electric guitar. Today I made a hand-held fireball (following along with this youtube video). Friday I “made” Manu Ginobili of the Spurs sign [...]
Bar Masa
I’ve always wanted to try Masa, that shrine to sushi perfection, with its $300 prix fixe menu. I didn’t do that last week, but I did get a mini sampler at Bar Masa, which is nonetheless frightfully expensive, though somewhat less so than Masa. I was there showing my Chilean friend Maca around. [...]
The Bourne Ultimatum: 8/10
I saw The Bourne Ultimatum on Thursday. I had originally torrented it, but after watching the first few minutes on my computer, and after having read an article claiming it’s the best American film trilogy I decided it was best to see this one in the theater.
The Bourne Ultimatum was fun. It’s a [...]
The essence of Awesomeness
To air is human. To air guitar, divine.
Last night I attended the US Air Guitar Championships with Sander, Kim and Carol. The tournament featured 12 regional champs from around the country. 4th place: Mcnallica. 3rd places (tie): Hot Lixx Hulahan (last year’s champ) and Big Rig. Second place: The Rockness Fucking Monster from [...]
no sleep … til brooklyn
Update: Gothamist, in an interview with the band, declares the show definitely off the charts. I agree. In the interview the boys also explain how it happened that they never before played in Brooklyn.

Pheeder at Cll Phn Lckn
Pheeder is going to be making a special guest appearance (of sorts) at tonight’s Cell Phone Lock-in at the Moma. I can’t say more because it’s a bit of a secret, but I’ll update with some more details tomorrow.
Update
By “tomorrow” I apparently meant next week. Anyway, this is what went down: Cll Phn Lckn [...]
