November 1st, 2011 by chocko
There was a free BrooklynVegan showcase at the Knitting Factory on Oct. 20 during the CMJ Fest. I missed the Yellow Ostrich, but just made it for the start of the Still Corners 1:15 PM set. I’ve been listening to their new album nonstop. “I Wrote In Blood” sounds like a song from Twin Peaks […]

The 91.1 WFMU annual record fair happened last weekend at the Metropolitan Pavillion in NYC!

You can sure bet I […]

Corey Glover + Daniela Cotton played at Maxwell’s
October 13th, 2011 by Mr. C
The distinct vocals of Corey Glover (Living Colour) and Daniela Cotton blessed the stage at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ to a very modest crowd much to my surprise even for a party, hardy Tuesday in hobo-NJ where frats meet brat packs surrounded by finance rats. Daniela opened up the night with her hybrid blend of […]
