Dreamboat and Lara Ewen And The Unstrung Orchestra performed at Spike Hill in Williamsburg on November 1, and it’s been a couple of days since I saw them and I am supposed to be cleaning my apartment, so what better thing to do than to sit down and write.
Dreamboat is Kelli Rae Powell and Craig […]

I saw this poster on Al. Duvall’s MySpace profile and I decided to pass it along.
Sounds like a good time.

Friday night I made it over to Stain Bar for an event sponsored by MiPOesias Magazine. MiPOesias is edited by Amy King, a local poet and educator. I think I first encountered Amy on StumbleUpon, and I am happy I did. She’s a terrific poet and a champion of art. Her latest book I’m […]
Music has been a steady companion lately. I should emphasize that it’s been good music. Moving to Williamsburg last month was a good excuse to get out more often. I’d fallen into a rut of work and not much else, but once I was living within a few minutes of Pete’s Candy Store and other […]

Well, I saw a band named after one of this country’s highly underrated writers. I went to college with Oakley Hall’s daughter, and while I haven’t seen her since college, I haven’t forgotten her; she was one of those lovely souls you meet in life, if you’re lucky.
Oakley Hall (the band) played a dynamite set […]
I saw a good set by The Cave Singers at Sound Fix Records here in Williamsburg. The lounge is a good room. I’d like to see the stage lighting improved, but otherwise it’s a good place to catch a show.
The Cave Singers are from my native Seattle. They are in NYC for a couple more […]

I’ll write about tonight’s show at Pete’s once I have time to sort out my impressions. The shorthand version is that “it” happened again. “It” is bliss. Devon Sproule was incredible tonight. I’m listening to her new album, and it’s pretty damn great.

Nick Lowe
Dreamboat
The Quavers
Tonight started with me rushing away from work. I headed straight downtown on the E train to catch Nick Lowe playing on the last night of Music Downtown at 7 WTC. I have been a fan of Nick Lowe since I heard “Cruel to Be Kind” on AM radio as a kid in […]

Two artists at two different venues on Saturday night in New York City.
Andy Friedman @ Pete’s Candy Store, Brooklyn, NY 15 Sept 07
Andy Friedman went on at ten at Pete’s Candy Store in Williamsburg. Pete’s is one of my favorite places to hear music. I’ve seen some terrific acts here and it’s […]

I was walking home with a fantastic purchase (one of two groovy end tables I bought from a second-hand store) when I did an honest-to-goodness double take. The picture links to the story behind the art.
This event happened very close to my apartment while I was at work. I’m not saying I should have called […]
