Check out the muxtape here. There have been many challenges in my life lately. Lots of hurdles to jump. Lots of problems to overcome. But the one thing I have to keep telling myself is to just keep going, and count on and appreciate the support of my friends. Everything will work out, but you got to make it work out. We are all responsible for our own happiness. Don't leave anything to chance!

Awesomeness will abound. Cheeseburger is easily one of New York's most fun bands -- and their songs have gotten really tight and catchy over the years. Come out to this show and see for yourself! They are playing at Mercury Lounge in New York on Friday, July 18 (tomorrow!) with Love As Laughter (who just released their album, Holy) and Death By Audio Records' Coin Under Tongue (which

As you all know, one of my favorite bands is The Walkmen. I associate them with the beginning of my love for the New York music scene. I can't even tell you how I felt the first time I heard "Wake Up" and "We've Been Had." It was a transformation for me. Jinners was, indeed, born. So it's not surprisingly that here I am five years later, still raving about them. I am particularly excited to

There are a lot of bands I don't fancy these days, but today I woke up to find this little gem in my inbox. I actually like what I hear... the electronic dreamy and sort of dark sounds of Psychic Powers from Los Angeles. The duo, Nik Brinkman & Alejandro Cohen, kind of remind me of New Order. There is a playfulness present in their music, but those vocals are cool and somber just like Bernard

My friend and I were talking about the Deal sisters from The Breeders yesterday. She had gone to see the Webster Hall show and said the indie boys were screaming for Kelley Deal like fanatical teenagers. She truly is an indie rock goddess. So is Kim Deal. Hell, I was excited to see them for the first time at the JellyNYC McCarren Park pool party yesterday. The two of them together were magic

Check out the muxtape here. This muxtape was inspired by sunsets and night swimming. It's a return to innocence. It's a reconnection to our younger selves. It's about spirit and capriciousness. It's about remembering who we are... who we are reinventing ourselves to be. 1. Loney, Dear - Ignorant Boy, Beautiful Girl 2. Corbeau - Burnt Violet Sky 3. The Troggs - Wild Thing 4. Swearing At

New York City fireworks are mesmerizing, especially when drunk and with friends. Be safe out there! I am off to New Hampshire for my friend's wedding. Have a good one!

So the truth is that even though I go to a lot of shows, many of the shows I go to have to do with work -- with the bands I manage. So if you are reading this blog to get a glimpse of what my life is like in New York, here are some photos from the past couple months worth of shows for my bands. It's been fun, and a couple of them were with headlining bands that were a blast from the past.

Yes, the South Street Seaport shows are among my favorite summer moments. What better way to spend a Friday night? Along the water, the dramatically lit boats and some great music = New York fun. A Place To Bury Strangers headlined this past Friday night, and let me tell you they totally killed it. It was an amazing explosion of beautiful noise as Ollie, Jay and Johnno took the stage

Check out the muxtape here. Lately, my mood has been going up and down like crazy. When I'm up, I'm really happy. When I'm down, I'm crying into a napkin. Life is so complex, choosing between happiness and sadness seems an impossible feat. I am both! 1. Aalyiah - If Your Girl Only Knew 2. Keyshia Cole - Does He Love Me (featuring Foxy Brown) 3.

Check out the muxtape here. I posted this muxtape to my blog too late, but here it is, better late than never. It's actually been streaming online for two weeks now. Sorry you can't listen to it (because I'm about to upload Muxtape #9), but you can imagine it by checking out the track list below. 1. The Velvet Underground - Femme Fatale 2.

Thanks to everyone who came out to After the Jump Fest this past weekend in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It was a wonderful day full of great music from bands and seeing the slew of friends there -- both new and old -- was so awesome. Thanks to the neighborhood for being so cool about the festival -- and I would just like to give a virtual high-five to my fellow ATJ bloggers for really pulling
