Eels @ Enmore Theatre

From Oceans Never Listen, Posted April, 28th 2008

A night of highly original entertainment. A night of bleeding humanity. A night of biting humour. A night where heart collided headlong into pain. And WE were the winners. E, Mr E, Mark Everett or more commonly Eels entranced, bewitched and stupified the Enmore Theatre Sunday night. Delightfully named "An Evening with Eels", it was a night to place in your heart for future references. For future references when or if your world turns to shit and you need a...

From Cable and Tweed, Posted April, 28th 2008

Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron ManAs many of you may be aware, the people behind Iron Man have agreed to allow screenings on Thursday, May 1, beginning at 8pm rather than midnight. Maybe it's just to pad the box office stats, but I'm taking advantage it.Folks in the Atlanta area, note that the best place to see Iron Man may be at Mall of Georgia's Regal 20 & IMAX. They have "Giant Screen" showings listed for Iron...

Coachella Photos: The Bird and the Bee

From Speed of Dark, Posted April, 28th 2008

Indie Mom and I had a great Saturday at the Coachella. We managed to stay fairly comfortable and see a total of seven bands, which I consider quite successful. Furthermore, although the temptation is to run around seeing parts of as many shows as possible, we mostly saw entire acts. We did not attempt to take a lot of notes or write down set lists. We just enjoyed the shows and took pictures. We'll be...

White Denim: Antone's, Daytrotter & more

From Covert Curiosity, Posted April, 28th 2008

It appears that White Denim have really been making the rounds. Gobbling up some of the vast SXSW/CMJ spotlight, taking their show across the pond and inciting a score of positive reviews, press from the likes of Rolling Stone et al., making deals, entertaining folks at the Plug Awards, so on and so forth. Even just in Austin they went from pulling in around 30 people for a gig at the Emo's Lounge to impressing hundreds at Fun Fest, and...

Laura Barrett

From Both Sides of the Mouth, Posted April, 28th 2008

So I've been MIA for about a month. I apologize profusely. Going to Hopkins can really be a major time and energy sucker. TGIAS (almost summer).Without further ado, I introduce to the unintroduced-to, Laura Barrett. She may look quirky and weird, and that's because she is. Her music is heavy on the kalimba (aka the "African thumb piano"), and complete with the occasional solo on the kazoo. What a crazy beach.Despite the wackiness, Barrett's music is perfection. The unexpected sounds...

Elbow | Webster Hall | 4.26.2008

From Sound Bites, Posted April, 28th 2008

"That's something you don't hear very often," joked Guy Garvey early in his bands performance at Webster Hall. The phrase in question was a shouted "Elbow rocks!" from the audience. It's true. Though Elbow do rock in a gentle, yet......
