Pre-CMJ Quickie Band Photos In NYC!
Bleubird & Astronautalis aka Boyfriends, Inc.
I’m in NYC with some free time before the CMJ Music Marathon next week, so I’ve decided to make the most use of my time and offer a special price on photos for musicians (though anybody in need of photos is welcome to the same deal). For $75, you get [...]
Look, Ma, I Made A Concert Series!
In celebration of the first year of my Portland, Maine music blog/show list/late-night-junk-food-documenting site HillyTown, I put together an all ages free concert series at SPACE Gallery next month. Details here.
Since Last We Spoke
Once again my music blogging activities have been pretty much limited to the action over at good old HillyTown, where things have been fairly lively. In fact, there’s an interview with me up at the Portland Press Herald website today about that site, and some of my other current projects.

Identity Crisis: Same Bands, New Names: Muggabears And Paper Birds

Evolution Of The Bat
I guess I’m on a bit of a superhero kick this week.
From a post on Comic Impact, check out this video overview of all of the various Batman logos through the years.
The range of designs based on one seemingly very straightforward concept is really remarkable.

Janelle Monae Live Video From Fader Fort
One of my favorite performances at SXSW this year was by Janelle Monae at the Levi’s Fader Fort. It was one of those lucky moments when Pat and I ended up at the Fort for the free drinks and stuck around to watch the show because we just didn’t know what was in store. Thankfully, [...]
