2007/11/09good tings
 i'm exceptionally tired right now. my hair is half red and half brown... sort of. it has been a strange week, but it just got kind of awesome because I downloaded a song by this band called The Ting Tings, and it has totally perked me up and kept me from curling up under my desk and hiding from my exploding inbox. This Manchester band is sort of like Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" song (but she's like, so whatever) mashed up with MIA with a dash of CSS's sass thrown in. Good times! The Ting Tings are playing at Glasslands in Williamsburg on November 13th and are finishing up a debut album -- many good "tings" to come, I predict. Hahaha....

2007/11/08it's pleasant with peasant (and other quiet tunes)
 It is that quiet time of year now. The clocks are turned back, there was a frost advisory last night (brr), Starbucks had brought out the holiday cups to hold your egg nog latte, and in general the idea of listening to music from the cosy confines of your warm apartment is probably seeming more and more appealing. During CMJ, I was introduced to a band whose low key tunes are, in my opinion, the perfect mellow accompaniment to a chilly November evening. Peasant, aka singer/songwriter Damien DeRose, hails from PA and sings tenderly crafted folk rock songs that could lull anyone into a dream-like state. DeRose's new full length album is going to be released on Paper Garden Records (also home to my faves Eagle*Seagull!) in February of 2008, but here are two tracks to give you a little preview. You can also catch Peasant at two upcoming NYC area shows, including a free gig on November 26th at Knitting Factory (which is free!) and another, probably more intimate, show at Rockwood Music Hall on the 28th. Peasant - On The Ground Peasant - Fine Is Fine And while we are on the subject, here is a teeny mix of other nice quiet tracks. Light a candle, grab your slippers and play these all in a row (I'm getting sleepy at my desk just writing this entry btw...zzzzz....) Hello, Blue Roses - Shadow Falls Wild Sweet Oranges - 10 Dead Dogs The Antlers - Apple Orchard (Beach House cover --- preeeetty) She Keeps Bees - Revival The Caribbean - The Go From Tactical posted by n. @ 11/08/2007

2007/11/06things break, i ramble. cmj?Oh hai. So, CMJ happened this year. And then my laptop broke AGAIN and made updating a non-possibility. So now I guess I can write about CMJ, and maybe you will be interested in things that happened LAST MONTH, but probably not. The good things that happened included finally seeing Eagle*Seagull TWICE and the second time was outdoors on a beautiful fall day at The Yard. Children were smashing pumpkins, the bbq was cheap and the sangria was flowing.  Shows that I also really enjoyed included We Are Wolves at Annex, who were crazy and awesome. I probably would also have liked Cut Off Your Hands, except I was crammed in the back of the Delancey for their show, so I couldn't actually see anything, but I did get a free copy of their EP which I am enjoying. Black Kids were disappointing when I saw them at Annex,  because they set up for what seemed like years, played one song, and then blew an amp and were dunzo. But I would give them another chance. I saw Spoon at Blender Theater, at 3 in the morning, and Pat Poptarts let me drink his free sparks, so thank for that one. Ait Traffic were there also, and they make me happy. Jukebox the Ghost were great as always, the Indaba loft was great and had free cookies sometimes and mostly felt like you were in someone's living room with your favorite band. Rachael did a great job of curating and I saw some of my NYC faves there like Undisputed Heavyweights and Beat Radio. In other news, I fought a giant Kadju character outside the Brooklyn Vegan day show on Saturday, after happily just catching the Maccabees. I didn't see any  bands at the Fader Sideshow, even though I really tried, but it was always packed. I did get free Pumas (thanks Jeff!) and a tummy ache from that deadly Soco punch and accidently interrupted Jerry Yeti in a serious game of Guitar Hero (sorry, Jerry). We Are Wolves - Fight And Kiss Black Kids - I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You Jukebox The Ghost - Hold It In Well, that was fun, wasn't it? Also, did you know that Aziz Ansari has a flickr account and all he takes pictures of is food? Well, either way, I really want to go out to dinner with Flight of the Conchords.  SPOON. back tomorrow with regular blogging, srsly. posted by n. @ 11/06/2007
