3 Syrup Room Shows This Week

Three Syrup Room shows this week...

Well this week brings a lot of good shows to Bushwick, a whopping three of them are at the Syrup Room. Things seem to be picking up there as I hoped. The Syrup Room, while still not officially legal as a concert venue, is increasing it's "private" events. There is also a space a few spots away on Ingraham which is officially open, or available for rent. The owners want to rent it out for parties, shows, and to the film industry. Wednesday's Devil in the Woods party has much hyped the Big Sleep, Vietnam, and Chapel Hill's Annuals among others. If you live in the neighborhood and want to get out, this is the week to do it. No need to take a shuttle bus or a cab to the city for CMJ.

Klaxons - New Rave

Klaxons - New Rave

One of the latest blog buzz bands that we have enjoyed. So much so that they will get our video treatment. This time to images of my recent trip to northern Russia.
If any of you are looking for a somewhat underdiscovered city on the rise (much like our little Bushwick) visit St. Petersburg. You will see very few Americans, and the people aren't burnt out on tourists.

Kim Deal Gives Good Head

The Breeders are coming out with a new album soon, so recently I have been going through some of the older stuff. I found the video for "Saints", which I didn't remember being quite this fun. Also, below is a new gem I found of Kim and Ultra Vivid Scene. Never seen this before, god bless You Tube.

Marie Antoinette: Kirsten Dunst Naked

Marie Antoinette - Worth 11 Bucks

Just got back from the theater where I saw the new Sophia Coppola film Marie Antoinette. All visual and musical candy, with little character development or purpose (in this case it doesn't matter). Maybe it was a glorified high school play on the big screen, but I still found the film to be well worth the 11 bucks I shelled out. Was Lost in Translation any different than this? The film's characters may have been surfacey and cartoonish, but they didn't take anything away from the visual/musical experience. Watching Kirsten Dunst in elaborate beautiful costumes (and sometimes in nothing at all) over a wonderful soundtrack is like a good MTV video(remember those?) on the big screen. Somehow it all works, and leaves you feeling ok with it all.

Bonobo - Ketto

Bonobo - Ketto

I go on vacation to create and make things like this. I went out into the city of Vienna last month and filmed with this track in mind. This is what I came up with. Definitely inspired by two sites Motel de Moka, where I got the track, and Music is Art whose entire world is built on the connection of music to life.

Pixies - Dreams Do Come True

Pixies: Are We Still Dreaming?

Well I guess dreams do come true after all. Even though they are old, fat, and rehabed this band still sounds fucking great. Now that we're used to the idea of the 4 Pixies playing on the same stage together again, we must not forget this was never supposed to happen. Maybe it was for the money, but what isn't these days? At least this is actually something we remotely care about. The excitement may have wore off for some fans, but I for one still feel the initial rush of their reunion. I'll post some things I've dug up in the past few weeks on the band. The next question for the band is will there be a new record?

Sons and Daughters: You're My Blood!

Sons and Daughters

"You're My Blooooooood"!

This EP showed promise that the first LP did not live up to. Bare-bones bass and drums with gritty vocals showcase this band's amazing energy. There are pieces of PJ Harvey, Pixies, and a little Scottish Hillbilly thrown in. I'll post 2 of the songs from the EP which will be available for 7 days. If you like what you hear, you can download the entire EP at itunes.

Gimme Head Exhibit Starts Today @ Ad Hoc Art in Bushwick

Gimme Head

Exhibit Starts Today @ Ad Hoc Art in Bushwick


Several artists have been invited to participate in a group show called Gimme Head, curated by Dennis McNett. The idea of the show comes from a conversation at the bedside of the legendary Richard Mock. The conversation went like this:

Each artist has been asked to submit up to three heads. There will be a variety of animal heads, monster heads, dripping heads, oozing heads, barbequed heads, etc. Heads of all flavors will be printed, painted, sculpted, and projected all over the gallery space.

Ad Hoc Art is located at 49 Bogart Street

Tropicalia - A Brazilian Revolution in Sound

Tropicalia
A Brazilian Revolution in Sound

Tropicalia in the late 1960s revolutionized Brazilian music mixing Psychedelic Rock, avant-garde musique concrete (tape loops, sound experiments), Samba, Funk and Soul into a truly unique combination. The movement lasted little more than a year in 1968 due to imprisonment and subsequent deportation to England of the two biggest stars of the genre (Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil). This album is a mix of tracks from that brief period of Tropicalia.

1. "Bat Macumba" - Gilberto Gil MP3
2. "Minha Menina" - Os Mutantes
3. "Tuareg" - Gal Costa MP3

4. "Domingo No Parque" - Gilberto Gil and Os Mutantes
5. "Alfomega" - Caetano Veloso
6. "Sebastina" - Gal Costa
7. "Procissao" - Gilberto Gil MP3
8. "Irene" - Caetano Veloso MP3
9. "Ave Genghis Khan" - Os Mutantes
10. "Take It Easy" - Jorge Ben
11. "Jimmy" Renda Se
12. "Ando Meio Desligado" - Os Mutantes
13. "Tropicalia" - Caetano Veloso
14. "Quero Sambal" - Meu Bem
15. "Vou Recomecar" - Gal Costa MP3
16. "Panis et Circenses" - Os Mutantes
17. "Gloria" - Tom Ze

Vetiver - Enchanting Forest Music

The band is the named after an wild grass that grows near their home in San Francisco. The name fits the folk orgin of this music. Guests include such notable singers as Hope Sandoval and Davendra Banhart (who was in the band at the time of this release). Speaking of Hope Sandoval and Mazzy Star, I'm putting together a post full of two amazing videos, and some good songs that are under the radar featuring Hope.
