Last night Brooklyn’s own Parquet Courts dropped by Late Night with Seth Meyers to debut “Black and White,” a new song from their upcoming album Sunbathing Animal. Fred Armisen, Meyers’ bandleader sat in on guitar, and while he’s mixed pretty low, it looks like he was doing some serious feedback-making. Studio version is below. […]
Perhaps you’ve seen those maybe-for-real-maybe-ironic “wrong” band t-shirts, which pair the image of one artist with the name of another. (This Bob Marley/Jimi Hendrix mashup is probably the most famous example.) Hipsterbait, a project by the artist Shardcore, takes the concept a step further, algorithmically generating a new shirt every day and instantaneously offering it […]
Clear your calendars and pull out your afro wigs, sexy shawls, and dangly wooden balls: Saturday, May 10 is Fleetmac Wood, a club night featuring all “edits, remixes and original Fleetwood Mac tracks.” The night, which originated in London and makes its first NYC appearance next month, goes down at Williamsburg’s Black Bear Bar. The […]

The seminal ’90s band Slint, whose second album Spiderland nearly single-handedly spawned the genre we now know as post-rock, are back at it. They’re playing a few NYC shows next month, and recently reissued Spiderland along with Breadcrumb Trail, a documentary about the band by the director Lance Bangs. May 1, the Wythe Hotel is holding a screening of the film […]
Check this band of drones playing “Thus Spoke Zarathustra,” “Carrol of the Bells” and the national anthem. See their sharply choreographed whirling, pulling and landing on electric keyboards, bells of some sort and a one-string electric slide guitar contraption equipped with a bass drum, a snare drum and two crash symbols. There’s even a very climactic GONGGGGGG […]
III, the latest album from the funky electronic duo George & Jonathan, features an album-length interactive visualization that lets you watch every single note fly by as it happens. It’s a bit like peering into whatever digital audio workstation the group used to create the music, except the MIDI notes are zooming through space and you […]
