By Will | September 30, 2008

Today is my birthday! Yay. I got tickets to see the one and only Ben Folds at Terminal 5 in NYC, and I think that is a proper celebration. Ben is also releasing his new album ‘Way To Normal’ today. He sure loves me! I hope he mixes in more older songs, because I have [...]

Indie Movie Soundtracks

By Will | September 29, 2008

Lately it seems movies have been using some great great music on their soundtracks. Indie seems to have taken over what we hear on the big screen, which is a great thing for the artists. However it is kind of annoying that everyone seems to love ‘Paper Planes’ even though they never would have known [...]

Album Review: TV On The Radio – Dear Science

By Will | September 29, 2008

I had a great feeling about TV On The Radio’s 3rd album when I heard the amazing ‘Dancing Choose’. In more ways than one ‘Dancing Choose’ summarizes my feelings on ‘Dear Science’. It starts out vastly different from what you expect with a rap about a newspaper man, but it turns into a pop brilliance [...]

Thoughts on MGMT

By Will | September 27, 2008

I will not say I have been a fan of MGMT from the start, because that just is not true. Everyone says stuff like that, but they don’t get the difference. There is knowing them from the very beggining, such as seeing them when they played their first few shows…. Then there is knowing a [...]

Bootleg Special (Part 1)

By Will | September 27, 2008

I go to tons and tons of shows in NYC and usually record a few songs here and there. I post them on youtube for the world to enjoy but now I figure I should find them a home here as well. This post will be dedicated to some of the best live songs I [...]

Album Review: The Walkmen – You & Me

By Will | September 24, 2008

A band like The Walkmen makes music that needs more than one listen to do it justice. They make music that needs multiple listens to truly get an idea of what they are going for, and trying to say. The Walkmen make music that has mood and passion. If you rush through this stuff, you [...]

Album Review: Ra Ra Riot – The Rhumb Line

By Will | September 24, 2008

My introduction to Ra Ra Riot did not come with the happiest of news. The first time I read about them was when drummer John Ryan Pike died. Losing a good friend can never be easy, let alone a band member. What a heartbreaking moment for a band that was just starting to get hyped [...]
