Music! Nazz!

I love this song like crazy. I first heard it on the Nuggets compilation of American rock singles from the 1960's. There are so many amazing American bands from the 60's that got lost in the shuffle. Also, Todd Rundgren was, like, 12 when he wrote this. Crazy.

The Byrds: It Won't Be Wrong

This is an awesome Byrds' song off their Turn! Turn! Turn! album from 1965. I just got this record and I love it and this is my favorite song and I'm sharing it with you 'cause it's so good. I almost didn't buy it because there was a nice big hole through the sleeve and it was curiously completely wrapped in plastic, like a new record. Despite not being able to inspect the condition the record was in, I'm glad I took a chance because it's perfect! Gotta take risks in this world.

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's every American's favorite holiday - Thanksgiving! Enjoy a great one :)

Mission of Burma!

Mission of Burma is coming to NY in January and I've got my ticket already! Easily one of my very favorite bands, and the band I've seen in concert more than any other, they have influenced me in countless ways. So amazing, and not just a bit frustrating that they aren't better known.

January 29th at The Bell House, Park Slope. GO!

Blur + Blondie

So, has anyone noticed how much Blur and all the 90's Brit-pop bands - save Oasis - totally took Blondie's sound? And if they try to deny that they're fans, I can pull out this picture...






and while I'm at it, this sounds just like "Heart of Glass" too:

Music: A Tribe Called Quest

Two of my favorite Tribe songs. I just picked up The Anthology on vinyl and it sounds SO good. The beat and rhythm are so powerful, the bass reaches out and slaps you. In the best way. The abstract poetic representin' from Queens!

Music: Beck

Can I just tell you how much I love Beck? Lots. Are most people really able to appreciate how wonderful he is? I don't think so. But they should.

Cheap Trick - Surrender

Well!

Jack Benny and The Beach Boys!

Summer in the City

All around people looking half-dead, walking on the sidewalk hotter than a match-head.

Tomorrow...

is the day that we debut our collection to all of Queens. For reals, tomorrow marks the beginning, from which there is no going back. We will be out in the world!

Here is a little something to commemorate our new start:
