It's officially the holiday season, and that means holiday music and concerts and everything that comes along with that. Now you, like me, might be tired of the worn out holiday classics; the same tired tunes that have been blaring out through the radio in every...
Petrychor – Effigies and Epitaphs (Krysanthoney) I have to hand it to one-man black metal band Petrychor; they do two things really well. And lest this sound like I'm damning the band with faint praise, one might consider that many bands in their genre do only a single thing well (whether that's Emperor's bombastic tendencies or Bone Awl's...
The Flaming Lips with The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth TigerSunday, May 15 at The National I was lucky that I even got a chance to go to this show. It sold out weeks in advance, before I'd even fully considered the question of whether I wanted to go. Then I got the chance to interview Wayne Coyne. During the process of transcription, I had plenty of...

Between The Buried And Me - Best Of (Victory Records) I first became aware of this band back in 2001 when they released their debut EP. Having grown directly out of pioneering North Carolina metalcore band Prayer For Cleansing, they had a lot of friends in Richmond as soon as they started, one of whom was then a bandmate of mine. He played their...
It was Friday the 13th and I was “fresh off the boat,” as people like to call new arrivals in New York City. It’s not hard to figure out anything to do in NYC because shows--good shows--happen most nights here. While Jason Voorhees was busy taking the island adjacent to me, I found solace at Williamsburg’s Glasslands, where Vancouver’s Dirty...

If this year's Starscape Festival was anything like years past, I feel like shooting myself in the foot for not attending any of the past 12 rounds. This being only my second time to Baltimore ever (I know, I’m sorry!), I knew I would see a new part of the city at Fort Armistead Park, where the festival was being held. However, I did not piece it...
The Felice Brothers - Celebration, Florida (Fat Possum) The back-story behind the title of the new Felice Brothers record provides a lot to unravel. The city of Celebration, Florida was constructed to represent a small town with moral integrity. Its proximity to Disney World is no mere coincidence. In the spirit of this American institution,...
