Girl Talk’s Night Ripper has been my go to album for when I want to hear something upbeat but can’t decide on something specific. It’s like having your ipod on shuffle for the best parts of your favorite songs. ASK ABOUT ME I’d read good things about Dan Deacon, the opener, on Brooklyn Vegan, so [...]

Goth Cruise. I found this on the VNV Nation MySpace page. Well, the ship’s not black, but I doubt you’ll see an Hawaiian shirts in this crowd. Its sails from New York to Bermuda. It has a heavy music focus- with the last two cruises featuring band ‘hosts’ that record a special Goth Cruise CD [...]
San Jose Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon. If it weren’t for asthma, I’d be there. There are bands on 14 stages along the way, and Ozomatli plays the show at the end of the route. Have fun, healthy rockers!
“Make Air, Not War”. I had been trying to make it to the San Francisco regional Air Guitar Championship for the past two years, but had failed. I will fail no longer. This even must be planned around. Air Guitar Nation is the type of documentary that, at times, seems like it might be a [...]
You know what? Chicks dig Star Trek. They especially dig Star Trek rock bands. I am now ashamed to admit that I have never seen an episode of Star Trek. Luckily, I could muster enough pop culture references to catch the ‘Captain Kirk’, ‘Klingon’, and ‘Beam me up Scotty’ references. Warp 11 is a Star [...]
Miss Fortune makes de/re/constructed shoes and bags. It’s all handmade so no two are alike. Really cute stuff. You can find them at Urban Outfitters.
The Common Men‘s ‘sounds like’: Interpol, Joy Division, David Bowie, The Cinematics, Franz Ferdinand, New Order, Editors, Moving Units, Bauhaus, The Cure, Elefant. Nice combo.
