It’s already Hanukkah and nearly time for Christmas, which means holiday parties and time off from school and work in the very near future. In some cities, I’d imagine that this could be a slower time of year for music. Not as many bands are on tour [READ ON]

While it’s going to be very difficult not to think about this Friday’s release of The Dark Knight Risesall week, there are some very worthy detractions in concerts from [READ ON]
The Great GoogaMooga has arrived! Sounds like an enormous gelatinous horror from beyond, right? Well, you’re wrong — it’s much more pleasant. And what’s so special about this festival? Well, aside from being totally free to attend, GoogaMooga gives food and drink top billing, with music playing second fiddle.
Don’t think for a second, though, that the music is simply there to provide a soundtrack for eating delicious edibles and drinkables. The Roots are playing on Saturday, and what better to match with their funky beats than eating drummer Questlove’s own line of fried chicken. Yes, that’s right. You can listen to The Roots while you eat food by The Roots. This is why GoogaMooga is going to knock your pants off.
So, what are we most excited for? On Saturday don’t miss Fort Lean, Bear Hands, and a DJ set by indie-legend James Murphy. For the foodies, check out The Joy Of Rhubarb with Johnny Iuzzini and Speedtasting: The Corkbuzz Wine event. Anthony Bourdain is running exhibits on both days.
On Sunday, be sure to catch Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires, Lucius, Lez Zeppelin (all-female Led Zeppelin tribute) and OH MY GOD HALL AND OATES? Yes. Hall and Oates. For your belly, hit up Jay Gatsby’s NYC Brunch and Shell Shucked! hosted by The John Dory Oyster Bar.
And finally, if things couldn’t get any better, forecast for the weekend is 70s and sunny. See you out there!

Another week here in New York City means another week of live music that will blow your mind. Though James Blake, Yacht,and Twin Shadow are in town, it’s Brooklyn-by-way-of Rhode Island band Fang Island that snagged our #1 concert of the week spot. Why you ask? These dudes are outrageous performers who know how to have a good time. They’re also playing one of my favorite venues, Glasslands Gallery. It’s a small place filled with strange taxidermy, mythological creatures [READ ON]
Two years ago Anna Wintour, in all her evil genius, hoisted upon the unsuspecting masses Fashion’s Night Out — A night where we normals get to pretend to be important by mingling at high fashion stores we would never otherwise walk into and get shitfaced so we can more easily spend our hard earned money on things that will make us feel pretty.
Personally, I love it. If the pretty people, free booze and sales on jeans and shoes don’t convince you to spend today wandering around the consumer hubs of our great city, maybe the list of bands playing [READ ON]
