Autolux!
Today has been one of the most productive days maybe of my entire life, so to celebrate I wanted to blog TWICE IN ONE DAY. Last night I went to see Autolux at Bowery Ballroom, and before they went on I was trying to figure out the last time I even saw them live. I'm pretty sure it was at Coachella in 2005, and then I read that they haven't released an album in SIX YEARS so that pretty much makes sense. And THEN I was thinking about what the hell I was doing six years ago... aside from being unemployed, starting this blog and hanging out at LIT... I don't even know. But I am very glad Autolux is back in my (now very different) life, after giving it all that thought.
They put out this new album, Transit Transit, earlier this month. I might not be totally enamored with it, but it's growing on me for sure.
Check out this tune and go see them at MHOW tomorrow night.

Seriously, you guys. Young The Giant!
Where did the summer go?
It's bumming me out, but the good news is that suddenly so much good music has flooded into my life I can't even handle it. For starters, I have to give like 99% credit for this one to Mr Kyle D. Reinford, concert photog and headband wearer extraordinaire. He tweeted about this band Young The Giant and because his music taste is all things rad, I immediately scoured the internet to find something I could listen to and HOLY WHOA. This So-Cal based band of young dudes (they are all under 21!) is rocking my Friday afternoon in the best way, and they are coming to NYC next month on a tour opening for Marina and the Diamonds (Sept 2nd at Webster Hall). If I was on Facebook I would "like" this to infinity.
Please play CMJ. Pretty please.

SHOW AT UNION HALL! Brought to you by.... BLOGGERS!
Hi guys! How is everyone's summer going? Is everyone else spending every waking hour at the office like me? Haha somehow I doubt it. Or at least I hope you are all raging at the (almost defunct) pool parties, hitting the rock-rock-rockaway beaches and generally having a blast. If you haven't made plans to escape the city this weekend, have I got a show for you as I've teamed up with the always spicy Jinners and the always sleeveless Stark brothers to present a three-band rockfest this Friday at Union Hall. Flier below, let's drink some margaritas and get cray-zayyyy.
Much love and hoping for an excellent rest of summer - Nora (follow me on Twitter)
