T-Sides’ Decade in Review: Albums

I’m not so smug as to think that I can pin-point the albums that will, in retrospect, stand out the most from the 2000s. Nor would it be accurate to argue that the albums that affected me the most on a personal level were “the best.” But if I were to completely take the personal...

T-Sides’ 2008 in Review: Albums

Usually T-Sides is a stickler for not releasing any sort of “Best of the Year” list until the year is actually over. However, because I had to write-up my list earlier than that for Bullz-Eye, and perhaps maybe a little bit because I wanted to be part of the Hype Machine Zeitgeist (yeah, I’ll admit...

T-Sides Elsewhere, July 7th Edition

Bullz-Eye: I wrote a few concert reviews. One for the Death Cab for Cutie show at McCarren Park Pool, and the other for The Cure at Radio City Music Hall. Popdose: I review the interesting new albums from Sigur Ros and My Morning Jacket, the very good new Wolf Parade album, At Mt. Zoomer, and...

Death Cab for Cutie at McCarren Park Pool: The Injury-Ridden Aftermath

Image courtesy Sam Rosenblatt Now that my review of Death Cab for Cutie’s concert at Brooklyn’s McCarren Park Pool is up on Bullz-Eye, I can give an account of the upsetting events that happened afterward. You’ll want to read the piece on Bullz-Eye first, so pop on over there and read it. Don’t worry, this...

T-Sides Elsewhere, May 12th Edition

Bullz-Eye: It’s Death Cab for Cutie bonanza over at Bullz-Eye, where I wrote a review of their new album, Narrow Stairs, as well as a Deep Cuts feature and a Bio/Entertainer page. Also check out my review of the new OURS album, Mercy (Dancing for the Death of an Imaginary Enemy). Popdose: Recent reviews include...

Lost MP3 of the Week: Ben Gibbard, “Silver Lining (Rilo Kiley Cover)”

Maybe it’s because I recently heard Narrow Stairs, Death Cab for Cutie’s upcoming album for the first time, maybe it’s because I’m going through Death Cab’s discography for a piece I’m working on, but for some reason or another, I find my long dormant appreciation for Ben Gibbard reawakening. For those of us who grew...

T-Sides Elsewhere, April 2nd Edition

As T-Sides Domination continues expanding, “T-Sides Elsewhere” will likely become a somewhat regular feature every couple weeks. On Bullz-Eye: My review of the Heart of the City Tour (Jay-Z & Mary J. Blige), the new Destroyer album, Trouble in Dreams, and I wrote about the book Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop for the Rock of Pages...

Lost MP3 of the Week: “Dream Scream”

This news is so old it has grand-children, but bear with me here, because I promise I have something to add to it. Death Cab for Cutie is recording, and on his blog, Chris Walla described it thusly: The DCfC record is in full swing; we’re six songs in. Thus far it’s pretty weird, and...

Goodbye, Astroland?

Astroland closed for the summer this weekend – and quite possibly forever. I’ve spent a lot of time at Coney Island over the past year and a half, so if it does indeed shut its doors forever, I’ll greatly miss it. Death Cab For Cutie: “Coney Island” (download) Death Cab For Cutie: “Coney Island (Alternate)”...

Racetrack: “Go Ahead and Say It” EP

Before we start, it’s disclosure time. I know Racetrack. I don’t know them in the OMG we’re best friends and we hang out all the time kind of way, but in a we saw each other at a lot of the same shows in Seattle and identified with some similar bands kind of way. And...
