Review: Bon Iver @ Prospect Park
I confess that due to recent apartment hunting, moving, and wedding activities, I have completely been slacking off in the concert department. When I finally do end up at a concert after a break, I am always reminded of why I like live music and how it just makes everything better. This was definitely the [...]

There is no shortage of fundraising events to support Haiti relief efforts. Everyone in NYC seems to be doing something to support the cause–including schools, restaurants, bars, and concert venues. So why did I end up at this particular benefit at Music Hall of Williamsburg Saturday night? Justin Vernon. I admit, it’s hard to pass [...]

Soundtrack alert: New Moon
Today the soundtrack for the second Twilight movie, New Moon, hits stores, or computers as the case may be (it’s way up there in the online pre-sales at iTunes). The soundtrack was put together by music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas, who is famous for the song selections on many films and TV shows such as The [...]

To have a whole bunch of your favorite performers assembled under one roof to just play for you for three hours isn’t a bad way to spend a rainy Sunday evening, especially when, two hours before the show, you did not even have a ticket and just planned on a night of watching TV. So, [...]

All I Want for President’s Day…
Please just look at this track listing for this 2-disc compilation CD. I swear I am not making it up. These songs were recorded exclusively for Dark Was the Night, an upcoming album produced by Aaron and Bryce Dessner (both of The National). The profits from sales of this album will go to the Red [...]

Bon Iver @ Town Hall
Last night Bon Iver made me forget I that I was in New York City. That’s not easy to do at a theater in the middle of Times Square. But the band’s music, at times delicate and at other times momentous, transported me to a musical enclave somewhere in the…do I dare say, the woods. [...]

Have Instruments, Will Play
Maybe they’re just killing time, or maybe this is what musicians do—they just play music anywhere. And now that everyone has a camera in their pocket, it’s easy to capture some impromptu jam sessions and share them with the world. Here are a few interesting ones I have seen. Do not be fooled, this first [...]

I have been listening to Bon Iver’s album, “For Emma, Forever Ago,” for months now. I had read the story of the album — how it was the result of Justin Vernon’s period of hibernation in a remote area of Wisconsin. After listening to songs like “Skinny Love” and “Flume” I was impressed, and wondered [...]
