I WAS THERE: Brian Jonestown Massacre @ Terminal 5, 7.25.08
Photos/Text by Aaron Richter Rarely, if ever, can self-titled watch a two-hour set and leave the venue wanting more. But as the Brian Jonestown Massacre was cut off at Terminal 5’s midnight music curfew, we found ourselves wishing for just … one … more … hour? Yep. For their only US appearance this year, Anton […]
IN THE MIX WITH … Guns N Bombs
Since it’s nearly 9 o’ clock on a Friday night and we’re just about to leave the office, self-titled would like to dedicate the following easy, breezy disco mix (made by Guns N Bombs in honor of their Hercules and Love Affair gig earlier last week) to anyone else in serious need of a summertime […]

1MM: Liars @ McCarren Park Pool
Angus Andrew of LIARS Photos by Andrew Parks Wow. Just wow. As odd as it was to witness Liars‘ doomsday punk approach in broad daylight at JellyNYC’s weekly “Pool Parties” series, self-titled couldn’t help but hold a smile throughout the group’s noisy, gnarly set.

1MM: DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist Present “The Hard Sell” @ McCarren Pool, 7.17.08
Photos by Andrew Parks Aside from being a spectacular display of 7-inch fetishism and diamond-sharp mixing skills, last night’s special DJ Shadow/Cut Chemist set offered a defiant answer to one simple question: Now that we’re officially in the age of iPod DJs and Serato setups, is the scratch and spin art of turntablism dead?
