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...
Matt Bauer Covers “Sea Lion Woman”
Though the Reminder is pretty fabulous from top to bottom, “Sea Lion Woman” was easily one of the album’s catchier tracks, with it’s earthy, quick beat. It was also a highlight in Feist’s live shows. Feist: “Sea Lion Woman” (download) In my recent Internet travels, I came across Greenpoint, Brooklyn’s own Matt Bauer, a man...
T-Sides B-Sides: Lost MP3 of the Week: Animal Collective, “Fireworks”
The incredibly talented Vincent “Hey Is It Okay If I Get Called V-Sides?” Rendoni did such a wonderful job with his write-up on Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks that we decided we wanted him back. Luckily for all of us, he came back with this great write-up on Animal Collective that, personally, I could not agree...

R. Kelly = Not Guilty
Apparently Miss T-Sides is not the only one who has good luck on Friday the 13th. Things were not looking good for the King of R&B on the first leg of his trial, but today, Kells triumphed, proving that no one – no one – is impenetrable to his charms smooth beats. T-Sides would like...
T-Sides Elsewhere, June 12th Edition
Bullz-Eye: I attended the Eagles concert at Madison Square Garden as part of the Long Road to Eden tour. Read my review here. Popdose: 2008 has been a lackluster year thus far, but now that summer is approaching, the new release calendar is heating up. I reviewed Scarlett Johansson’s weirdo Tom Waits cover album here,...
Lost MP3 of the Week: Yeasayer, “Ah, Weir”
As we near the middle of the year, I find myself somewhat unimpressed by 2008 as a new release year. Granted, the second half of the year is almost always stronger than the first, and 2007 was no exception. But 2008’s best releases, so far, don’t feel quite as important as last year’s. Of all...
Neko Case covering Chuck Berry
[youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=qiKz3D1cQz0[/youtube] As the result of some sort of weird musical karma, I’m sure, ever since making a slight dig on Neko Case for acting like a diva when I saw the New Pornographers live, I’ve found myself in the mood to listen to her. (Not that I would ever really truly put down a fellow...

Destroyer @ Bowery Ballroom, Wednesday, April 23rd
Image courtesy flickr user forklift The New Pornographers put on one of the worst concerts of recent memory at the Bowery Ballroom last August. It was so unbearable that writing a review would have been like rubbing alcohol on an open wound. A.C. Newman was acting like a real prick in-between songs, talking for longer...
