For the first time, I have contributed a piece to another website besides Those Who Dig. The piece is an interview with Brooklyn band Time Travelers and it's available on Greenpointers. Read on for a link, a song, and info about their show this week with Blue & Gold.
Blue & Gold is a relatively new band I've been digging. Their first EP came out yesterday, the play their first proper show tonight at Piano's, and I recently had a chance to talk with members Chloe and Alex. Read on for the interview, music, and show info.
A great album comes out today: Tempest In A Teacup by Mal Blum. You should get it. But before you do, you should also check out this interview I did with Mal about the album and a whole lot more.
Almost a year ago, I spent a good chunk of a day with Greenpoint musician Matthew Meyer. For a variety of reasons, it unfortunately kept slipping by me when it came to transcribing it and sharing. With profuse apologies to Matthew, it is finally here. Please check out this great, insightful conversation with an incredibly talented and creative individual who is active in the neighborhood I call home.
On Monday night, I had the pleasure of interviewing Andrew W.K. and watching his spectacular performance at Webster Hall for the I Get Wet Ten-Year Anniversary tour. We had a nice conversation, and his show was an absolute party unlike any other I have ever seen. Read on for all the details.
A few months ago, we featured the cool and bluesy song "Momma Devil" by Old Wives Tale in a Weekly Roundup (link here). We recently had a chance to ask singer and bassist Felipe Valencia (he founded the band with his brother Jaime, who also sings and plays guitar) some questions about their latest release Late Night Paraphernalia and more. Here's the interview.
We've finally reached the end of the CMJ New Zealand showcase interviews and we're going out strong. What follows is a conversation I had with Princess Chelsea. And an added bonus, Pikachunes joined in for the chain and playlist questions. Check it out!

My New Zealand showcase interviews roll on with tonight's post featuring The Golden Awesome.
