Bands in Red = This week's playlist
Bands in Blue = Previously featured

Monday - November 5th

- Adam Green, Binki Shapiro, Computer Magic @ Le Poisson Rouge - very high anticipation is riling up for the new duets album comprised of collaborators Adam Green (1/2 Moldy Peaches) and Binky Shapiro (1/3 Little Joy). Interestingly, they each were putting words in each other's mouths for their respective breakups during their songwriting process. Debut album comes out in July and early singles sound very promising.

- Archipelago, Saintseneca, Emperor X, Jesse Cooper Levy @ Big Snow - Saintseneca is a nice folk band of lifelong friends from Colombus Ohio. They are on tour with Emperor X aka Chad Matheny's spacey, lo-fi indie folk. Very interesting NPR story on Matheny's marketing ploys of burying cassettes of his early recording and posting GPS coordinates for his fans to find.

- Gary Clark Jr., ZZ Ward @ Bowery Ballroom (SOLD OUT) - GCjr has sold out Bowery Ballroom for all 3 scheduled/rescheduled shows. He's added another benefit show on Tuesday at Brooklyn Bowl.

- The Amazing (North American debut), Tom Miller @ Mercury Lounge (Early Show) - The Amazing are a swedish band that are starting to live up to their name. Partisan recently released their most recent album Gentle Stream, which you can give it via the spotify link if you'd like to hear some nice psychedelic indie folk. They are going to be accompanying Tame Impala on their tour which begins wednesday night. This video of their song "Gone" should give you a good idea of what to expect at their live show.

- TV Baby, Fort Lean @ Mercury Lounge (Late Show) - Fort Lean's first local show in quite some time ; they will be playing an EP release party at Glasslands in December and that should do it for them as far as live shows in 2012.

- Deidre & the Dark, Gin Wigmore @ Santos Party House (Early Show) - Deidre and the Dark is the new solo project of Deidre of Savoir Adore

- Shiny Toy Guns, MNDR, Static Summer, Colour Music @ Santos Party House (Late Show)- Taking their name as influenced by Isaac Newton and his relationship to color and sound, Stillwater Oklahoma's psych-folk hardcore band has been heavily praised for their outstanding live show efforts, usually taking form in a theme. Compared to a blend of the polyphonic spree and The Flaming Lips.

- "Fight For Your Right Revisited" (2011) and "Shut Up and Play the Hits" (2012) Screening with full concert sound @ Brooklyn Bowl - To help benefit Hurricane Sandy Relief, Brooklyn Bowl and Oscilloscope Laboratories are teaming up to present a benefit with screenings of Beastie Boys short film Fight For Your Right Revisited and LCD Soundsystem film Shut Up and Play the Hits with "full concert sound." Admission is pay what you like with a suggested $10 donation. Every $5 donated gets you a raffle ticket for prizes and giveaways from Oscilloscope Labs and Brooklyn Bowl. Canned food and household goods will be collected at the show too.

Tuesday - November 6th (Election Night - Rock the Vote)

- Gary Clark Jr @ Brooklyn Bowl - Recently announced Benefit for Superstorm Sandy Relief Fund for Staten Island ; $20 minimum donation; For those who couldn't make any of his other SOLD OUT affairs in NY, this will be a great chance to support a great artist and cause.

Wednesday- November 7th

- Tame Impala, The Amazing @ Music Hall of Williamsburg (SOLD OUT) - Definitely the best show of the week ; Tame Impala's new album is one of the best of the year ; they return to NY on Saturday for another SOLD OUT show at Webster Hall

- Rocky Erickson, Hounds of Baskerville, Nude Beach @ The Bell House - Other Music signing Nude Beach (Long Island) start up their tour support of Roky Erickson ; Their video for "Some Kinda Love" directed by Tom Scharpling is hilarious and quite clever. The lineup plays again in Hoboken the following night.

- Gary Clark Jr., Kat Edmonson @ Bowery Ballroom (SOLD OUT)

Thursday - November 8th

- Cold Specks, Doe Paoro @ Mercury Lounge (Early Show) - Cold Specks is the stage name of London based canadian singer songwriter Al Specks ; for sad music lovers like me, a great debut album of hers came out earlier this year on Arts & Crafts

- The Fresh & Onlys, Quilt @ Music Hall of Williamsburg

- Lost Boy?, Celestial Shore, Breakfast In Fur, Each Other, Leapling @ Shea Stadium - Breakfast In Fur come from New Paltz New York and have been praised by Rollo & Grady and Jenny Eliscu (Sirius XMU/Rolling Stone) ; been featured on a new compilation by Team Love

- Roky Erickson, Nude Beach, Hounds of Baskerville @ Maxwell's

Friday - November 9th

- Brooklyn Vegan Presents "Miami Connection" (1987) @ Sunshine Cinema - how could i not have known about the 80's cult gem Miami Connection until now, best plot line ever ---> the story of fearless synth rock band Dragon Sound as they embark on a crime-crushing justice in the streets of Orlando; I'd go on but all you need to do is to watch this trailer to be convinced ; who's coming with me??? Screening again on Saturday

- "Life of Pi" (2012) @ Museum of the Moving Image - Preview screening of the new 3-D Ang Lee adventure film based on the 2001 novel ; Screen writer David Magee will be in person for Q&A

- Lawrence Arabia, Ludwig Persik, Mercies, Eureka Birds @ Pianos - just learned about this dude Ludwig Persik as I saw he's playing with Fort Lean in December ; Really solid start on his EP, which was produced by Jamie Lidell ; already with Billions booking and suggesting fans try and cop his free EP on bandcamp while they can suggests he's someone to look out for.

Saturday - November 10th

- Railbird, Cuddle Magic, The Daredevil Christopher Wright, Margaret Glaspy @ The Rock Shop - The Daredevil Christopher Wright comes from the same town as Bon Iver in Eu Claire Wisconsin ; lovely indie folk music ; for fans of Grizzly Bear

- The Young, Radar Eyes, Timmy's Organism @ Cake Shop - This is a rescheduled show from few weeks prior I believe. Austin's The Young (self described as fried rock n roll over EZ) are signed to Matador and play again the following night at Cameo.

- The Whigs, Kuroma @ Glasslands

- Tame Impala, The Amazing (members of Dungen) @ Webster Hall (SOLD OUT)

- Brooklyn Vegan Presents "Miami Connection" (1987) @ Sunshine Cinema

- Kaki King, Lady Lamb The Beekeeper @ Glasslands - Kaki King is celebrating a new marriage and a new release on tour ; playing again the following Tuesday at LPR

- The Young, Dignan Porch, Eraas @ Cameo Gallery

Once in A Lullaby at Richmond County Bank Ballpark (Staten Island) - 8/14/12

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 17:20:00 +0000

I'm a big fan of doing things in their right place. Therefore, I figured if I'm gonna see the PS22 chorus documentary, Once In A Lullaby, why not do it in the hometown of the students in Staten Island in front of the people that were depicted in the picture in a baseball stadium on an evening that turned so beautiful when it was etched for rain. It seemed so fitting that somewhere over the rainbow of showers earlier in the day, Staten Island was blessed with better weather. The historic free Ferry Ride from Battery Park was unforgettable with the sun setting just above Lady Liberty's torch.

I was happy to get there early so I could catch a great seat and appreciate my surroundings, which were mostly 5-15 year olds and their parents in the lower level of the stadium overlooking the Manhattan skyline. While waiting for night to fall, we were treated to live performances from past members of the chorus, including Clive Baird and Corey Powell as well as current members and two of the featured soloists from the film, Kiarah Mitchell and Kahlil Williams. Kiarah and Kahlil did a great rendition of Gotye's hit feat. Kimbra "Somebody I Used to Know" and in fact, the day before, the PS22 chorus blog announced the kids' chorus was part of Gotye's recent Youtube Orchestra mashup: Somebodies. They all sounded amazing but I was particularly struck by a song called "Brother & Sister", written and performed by Kiarah herself. Here is a video of the song sung with help from the rest of the chorus. Don't forget these names, you may be hearing more from them in the not too distant future.

After it's great appeal at the Tribeca Film Festival this past year, the film was immediately selected by Program Director for the non-profit organization Rooftop Films, Dan Nuxoll, when scheduling films at the ballpark. The opening shot had the historic Staten Island ferry moving in the sea and behind the projection screen miraculously was the actual Staten Island Ferry moving into the dock at the same time. It was a moment I wish I had captured in my camera but perhaps it's best believed in person and only possible due to the amazing setting curated by the people at the Rooftop films.

The film's producer/director Jonathan Kalafer did great justice to the incredible story of the team. The documentary follows the journey of the group of inspired students in the PS 22 chorus at the pinnacle of their internet boom as they were given a surprise visit during their annual Christmas Concert from one of their many celebrity fans, Anne Hathaway, to announce that they had been invited to the 83rd annual academy awards. Through the adventure of prepping for their big west coast gig, we see all of the many layers of this tale, including social media's effect on bringing the story to life, key characters including the school's principal, the parents of the kids, and of course the students themselves. The most amazing personality of all was the music director Gregg Breinberg aka Mr. B, who was their fearless leader and mentor, dealing with so much pressure performing his method of improvised singing in front of a live national and international audience and comforting the anxieties and managing the various personalities of these impressionable kids as they prepared for the biggest night of their lives. Mr. B was sitting just a few rows in front of me so it was quite the scene to see his reaction to the screening/story, giving hi-fives to the students who would be walking passed him in the aisles during the movie. Here is a shot of him witnessing quite possibly one of the greatest moments of his life on screen, performing at the 83rd annual academy awards

It's simply impossible not to be moved by this movie. Here is a nice review by the LA times. The film is not available for distribution yet, so unfortunately it's not available on DVD or netflix but stay tuned to the facebook page for updates on special screenings and so forth.

Speaking of which, the last rooftop films screening of the season is this Thursday at the ballpark and one of my childhood faves, The Sandlot. Weather forecast looks beautiful so it would be a great way to spend the evening.

Tears for Ears

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 11 Aug 2012 17:04:00 +0000

I think of myself as a happy and hopeful soul but somehow i have a penchant for sad music and the way it can capture a feeling had or imagined. PBS' Art Beat recently interviewed Adam Brent Houghtaling, author of "This Will End in Tears" The Miserabilist Guide to Music". Here is the video interview.

Watch Adam Brent Houghtaling, Author of 'This Will End in Tears' on PBS. See more from PBS NewsHour.

Apparently the book is filled with numerous playlists in each section and the grand finale, which may live up to the name of the book, is a top 100 sad songs list. The list has been conveniently transcribed via Spotify. Check it out here and leave your own comments for your favorite sad song.

60 Minutes: Apps for Autism

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:44:00 +0000

Last night I really felt in the mood to watch 60 minutes after dinner and I'm so glad i did. Although it was a repeat, the broadcast featured a special tribute to Steve Jobs, interviewing biographer Walter Isaacson of the bestselling book of 2012 titled Steve Jobs. The last segment of the program discussed the influence of Jobs' ipad applications on autistic people. As a recent uncle, I try and discourage my niece from overuse of the ipad. This segment gives me a new perspective and appreciation for the good that can come from use of technology in the right way.

LCD Soundsystem - Shut Up and Play the Hits

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 22:39:00 +0000

NPR's morning edition had a great piece today on the upcoming one night only release of the concert documentary on LCD Soundsystem's last show at MSG April 2nd of 2011. Shut Up and Play the Hits opens in theaters nationwide only this wednesday, July 18th. Below is a great little teaser piece and i recommend taking the time to check out the interview with NPR's David Greene and filmmakers Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace.

Inspiring: Bob Greenberg / Jerry Weintraub

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 08:34:00 +0000

Due to my jetlag i only slept four hours last night. The benefit was listening to morning edition's Simon Says segment on my way home where i heard news that a blind sportscaster had past away this week. I couldn't believe that those words would ever be put in that sequence but apparently Bob Greenberg found a way to let listeners know what both he and they could not see. Here's the NPR story / excerpt to give you more information and a nice remembrance from his former public station post at WBEZ in Chicago.

I finished the night by watching the 2nd half of the HBO Documentary on legendary hollywood film producer and entertainment mogul Jerry Weintraub entitled "His Way" (TV - 2011). It's the perfect inspiration for someone who doesn't want to take no for an answer. I will have to watch the 1st half at another time but it was remarkable to see this man's tenacity and vision for success.

Allahumma Ya Sobhuhon ( Arabic Baha'i prayer)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 16:01:00 +0000

Last night was the wake of my best friend's late father. It's weird how sometimes as much as i want to show my emotion in times like these i feel a bit numb. The ceremony featured several traditional Baha'i prayers spoken by his loved ones, my favorite of which was an Arabic prayer sung at the end by majority of mourners in unison.
