I love Nico Muhly.
From the Gothamist interview today.
Speaking of the New Yorker, what do you really think of Sasha Frere Jones? Well, have you read my blog posts about his writing? I’m sure he is perfectly pleasant, it’s less him and more his writing that I object to (check here for details). I don’t like music writing that makes you feel like somebody has just cattily pointed out the...

Q. Recently, the Gothamist Web site reported a series of crimes in Williamsburg: a shooting on July 20, a fatal shooting on July 12, and a spate of gang-related stabbings that reached a crescendo in June and July.

So in order to play the CitySol show this past weekend, Dan Deacon would have had to fly from NYC to Atlanta and then back to NYC again. Doesn’t that sort of defeat the purpose, CitySol?

OMG PHISH IS REUNITING!
“The prospect of Phish reuniting is something I consider very seriously, and I think about it a lot. And lastly, as always, there is plenty of misinformation floating around. Try not to focus too much on secondhand sources and random gossip. If there is anything real to announce, it will come from the four of us as a group.” - Page McConnell

For twenty-nine years before I saw you

I Want My 90 Bucks Back [A Rant]
So after waiting about 15 years to see R.E.M. live, I had my chance last night at Jones Beach. I spent $90 on my mid-level seat (not even the most expensive in the house), and maybe if Modest Mouse weren’t on the bill (and attempting to play an hour long set as a storm was clearly approaching) everything would have been fine. But they stayed on the stage until lightning actually HIT THE...

I decided I want to have a Galt’s Gulch party where people have to bring an invention. One of my many ideas that will never actually come to fruition.
