And so the day finally came when our most prized Parisian, a sharp young man appropriately named Pierre, had to leave behind our humid habitat and return home to regale fellow Frenchmen with stories of 40° Celsius weather and $4 40s.

Vampire Weekend have had kind of a hard go at it as a band. After bursting onto the hip culture music scene in late 2007 with a tour with The Shins, and praise from Rolling Stone and Spin, Vampire Weekend seemed to be set for an enjoyable career of releasing music. Instead they started to [...]

The night of Sept. 18, 2006, Band of Horses packed up their gear after finishing a Monday night show at Headliners in Columbia’s Vista.

Leo the dog would learn to love me one day, but at the moment, he was clearly very suspicious of where my loyalties lay. Shifty-eyed, he paid close attention to my every step as I approached the cerulean Moonhouse. There to greet me was Phil Russell and Jay Ellis, the somewhat sunburnt mooninites that felt [...]
