Brooklyn pals TSLOS sent along a link to this video they made of their trip to Austin last week. I even make a cameo in it!

South By Southwest Is All About Taco Trucks.
There isn’t much time for blogging this week, but you can keep up on a lot of what I’m checking out here in Austin over at Spin. Leftovers and outtakes will wind up on Flickr at some point. Today is the After The Jump Fest backyard party. In a festival (and unofficial week of awesomeness) [...]
SXSW 09 Begins
This is where I’ll be staying all week (with Ryan and Pat at the unofficial ATJ hideout) between the showcases, day parties, late night endurance tests, and free breakfasts (I hope). It’s a pretty nice place, though it’s a bit of a ride outside of downtown Austin. There are a lot of options for today, [...]
Chriss Sutherland: Worried Love out today
Apparently there are good things in the music world happening this week that are not at all related to SXSW. In the first of many anticipated crossovers from my usual Portland, Maine-centric blogging over at HillyTown, here’s an update on one of that scene’s key players. If I’d had time, this would have been a [...]
One day down
CMJ is off to a great start! I won’t be updating here much, but I will add photos each day, so if you want to try and keep up, head over to my flickr page. After The Jump official showcase is tonight at the Knit!
Musical Hi-Fi(ves!)
Too easy, maybe? Jason (of Productshop fame) has put together a pretty stellar lineup for the big Stories In High Fidelity party tonight at Highline Ballroom. Chuck Klosterman, Rob Sheffield, Dan Kennedy, Marc Spitz and more, plus live performances from Jaymay and Rocketship Park! Wowzers. You know how I love stories about music… I’ll be [...]
Man In Gray. Two Nights Only.
So as you probably know, Man In Gray is my band. You probably also know that I’m moving out of NY soon and that the band is playing its last two shows this week. Tomorrow night is our official final blowout show at the Delancey, but we added a second-to-last show tonight. It’s a Brooklynvegan [...]
Union Hall Victory!
The Community Board 6 meeting last night at the Brooklyn Borough Hall court room (which is a pretty amazing looking building, by the way) was long and full of tension for a lot of people in the crowded room, as we all waited (not always so) patiently for the board to arrive at the issue [...]
Defend Brooklyn (Nightlife): Save Union Hall
This is a repost from an email. I encourage you to repost it as well. Tomorrow (Wednesday, May 14) could change Brooklyn nightlife as we know it. Community Board 6′s advisory board lead by Lou Sones (the owner of Brazen Head) is taking action against Union Hall of Park Slope. They are recommending the removal [...]
Ruined Music is back, now with more Dark Meat
I’ve been a little crazy over Athens’ Dark Meat ever since I saw them at SXSW in March, so it’ fitting that we chose them as the first band to take part in a new feature over at Ruined Music. We’re calling it Ruined Music Backstage, where we ask bands to confess their ruined music [...]
