Sebastien Tellier’s new album ‘Sexuality’ has been in stores for a while, but his first live NYC performance was this past week at Hiro and The Fader has a decent video.
The interesting thing, is that by stores, we mean just in American Apparel. You can buy it on iTunes, but it looks like only the “clean” version is on there and who wants that.
Their collective brand love makes total sense considering the man’s love of lame’, and the hot moaning that courses through his francosexalicious album. The sound is a modern sexual…

More and more I have been reading that celebrity is dead, and that more and more teenagers care less about celebrities. But what if everyone could be a celebrity? What if everyone could be Kanye West? Check out this new television infomercial featuring Kanye, a perky blond, and some regular guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TrkrSdyIHY

Last weekend, we ventured to the 6th borough of Philadelphia (only an hour and half on the train people) to check out the Popped! Music Festival, and support Alexis Rosenzweig, a creative entrepreneur trying to bring a quality indie summer fest to the city of Brotherly Love (See her with shades and a walky-talky in pics below).
The lineup included Dan Deacon, Mates of State, and was headlined by indie darlings Vampire Weekend. The sun shown down and a quiet streets near Drexel University were closed down for the day long…

Tomorrow (05/07/08) at 2 pm, Lucky Dragons and a few cohorts are playing in the East River Amphitheater (Cherry St. @ FDR Drive). Lucky Dragons is a one man, two laptop and plastic recorder operation with a serious emphasis on audience participation and creating interactive audio applications. It’s one of the few laptop projects out there that sounds human and organic.
Lucky Dragons’ shows tend to culminate in everyone sitting around in a circle holding hands while connected by electrically conductive cables, which sounds like a painful process, but in reality means…

I’m not a music reviewer. I don’t even really like music. I mean, maybe I do; I listen to music I like constantly, obsessively, repetitively. But as a whole I don’t really like music: I am not a music enthusiast.
I do not go to shows. The last time I paid money to see a band play was Radiohead at Coachella in 2004. And when I say I paid to see Radiohead, I mean that I drove to Indio at night, watched Radiohead play, and drove back to Phoenix.
So…

Weezer’s new album cover.
Never accentuate how much you don’t look like a younger, more talented, less irritating version of yourself, even if you’re trying to make some obscure Harvard Thesis Point about what makes a hit song.
