I'm sitting in the Istanbul airport waiting for my flight home this morning. Its already been a long day getting up at 3:30AM to get to the airport. Found a quick WIFI spot so I'll put up a few more photos while I can then add some more when I get back.
The last several days of ...
My sister told me about this 7" split EP from Andrew Cedermark and The Family portrait probably 3-4 months ago or something.
I listened to it on repeat 100s of times, a great feel to it. I just searched for The Family Portrait to see if they have anything else out. All I could find was a myspace page but ...
I woke up about 4am this morning after a Nyquil coma trying to get over some watery eyes, nose and congestion from some type of sinus thing and started to go on some musical tangents.
i first started with the latest M. Ward album 'Hold Time'. I originally started into M. Ward a few years ago with his previous album ...
I finally had the chance to see one of my top bands from several years ago, Wolf Parade, this past week. I had tickets for the show on July 31 for several months, then a second show the next night later opened up which I got tickets for it as well.
Both shows were a venue I frequent in Hell ...

I heard the 2 songs Wolf Parade posted a week or so ago on Myspace ...

Not only as part of Destroyer but with his other bands Swan Lake and The New Pornographers as well. It was great to finally see him and hear ...
I went to a Black Book magazine party at 1Oak in Chelsea last night as I work near them with my new job. I was feeling kind of sick after some bad sushi but did my best to drink through it with the complimentary Skyy Vodka. I ended up having a good time anyway. I think I saw the guy ...
The last couple of evenings I've been listening to Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks on vinyl on repeat (manual repeat). I've had it for awhile but hadn't totally absorbed it like I have until recently.
I've been on a big Bob Dylan kick recently. Trying to get most of his albums on vinyl when I ...
I was invited to go see The National the other night with my friend Emily. This was the opening night of a new venue in midtown west / hell's kitchen called Terminal 5. I had high hopes for the place because its owned by the Bowery Ballroom people who have the best venues in NYC. The venue was in kind ...
