I thought filming the Junior Astronomers acoustic session was strange, but then we filmed one with Nick Bays post show at New Brookland and things couldn’t have gotten weirder. One girl decided she wanted to watch, then she decided she wanted to start peeing during the song, and then she didn’t have any toilet paper. [...]

We’ve been to a lot of record stores all around, but none have matched the experience we’ve had at Horizon Records. Their selection of new and previously loved CDs and vinyl is great, maybe not the best, but their customer service is above and beyond. Here’s the story. The Stringers always make it a point [...]

Brown Records is currently home to Band of Horses, and was started by BoH frontman Ben Bridwell. And while [...]
We’ve started doing Scene SC Acoustic sessions in the women’s bathroom at New Brookland Tavern. Apparently girls don’t really like dudes playing acoustic in women’s bathroom, which I think is dumb, but whatever. We’ve got a couple filmed so far and will be having many more in the future. For the first one we got [...]
Finally, we have new music from Slow Runner. Today, March 30th, 2010, they released their new 3 song EP titled Ghost Rendition. We’ve listened to it and give it 4 thumbs up. Slow Runner version 4.0 sounds like post pubescent Justin Beiber if he were to hang out with Ben Gibbard for 10 years and [...]
Columbia’s prince of LapPop, Toro Y Moi, got robbed last night on tour in New York City after his show at Brooklyn Bowl. They stole his clothes, his laptop and his passport. The causer of this is forcing him to cancel his next 4 shows (The Middle East in Cambridge, and Vermont and two shows [...]
I went to Snug Harbor in Charlotte Saturday night with my buddies BK and Will to check out Japandroids on their tour through the south with A Sunny Day In Glasgow from Philadelphia.
