PEEP SHOW: Pelican, “Lost in the Headlights”

Photo by Ryan Russell While we hear that Pelican plans on hibernating this winter and emerging with a new album sometime next year, the band’s still plugging away with the promotion of their current long player, City of Echoes.

1MM: HEALTH @ the Knitting Factory, 11.7.08

HEALTH pleads its case for its band name to appear in all caps. By Aaron Richter My favorite thing about HEALTH is that they’re not ugly.

TIVO THAT SH*T: S/T’s Art Director Makes Subtle ‘Gossip Girl’ Appearance Tonight at 8!

So our art director, Garrett Morin, shared this little tidbit about the magic of TV earlier today: When Gossip Girl introduces Serena’s new main squeeze tonight at 8–the ‘Brooklyn artist,’ Aaron Rose–you’ll be watching the carefully-sculpted handiwork of Garrett and Radio Silence co-author Nathan Nedorostek, who helmed Rose’s faux ‘process work’ project. Anyway, be sure […]
