The Strokes - Taken For a Fool

The Strokes new album 'Angles' came out on Tuesday and it's nothing earth shattering good. I do enjoy the album and really enjoy 3-4 tracks on it. Here they are playing one of the better tunes off the album 'Taken For a Fool'

Really loving the new Kurt Vile Record too.

Smith Westerns

This is my favorite band right now.

DMB Caravan: Atlantic City Stop

Well, I will not be attending the AC festival. But I do like the setup and style of the DMB Caravan festival. The price at $200 is a reasonable one, I was thinking it would be 250. I hope that will be the price for every festival. It seems like each fest will definitely have their own feel to it. It would be great to see Flaming Lips, Marley, Bassnectar, Dr. Dog, Grace Potter, Lotus...but other then that, MEH! OAR is a complete joke...I have no desire to see David Gray with 50,000 people...However I like the Dave and Tim set, I like TR3 playing and Carter with Stefan guesting on others acts. I assume that will happen at every fest. Here's hoping to the NYC show having a much better line up. Give me some Mumford and Sons, Robert Randolph, Umphrey's Mcgee...fuck I would rather watch the Mclovins play then OAR.

DOM in Northampton

DOM kicked off their spring tour with a last minute hometown show at the Iron Horse on Saturday in Northampton. On a whim I decided to attend with a few friends. DOM started 10 mins early and played a very tight 45 minute set to friends and family in attendance. DOM shows are a lot of fun, everyone was dancing on the floor and really into all of the music. It was great being in their hometown amongst the people that knew the band the most. A chant for drummer Bobby K was started by the crowd at one point. I doubt that happens anywhere else.

Their new material sounds really polished and is catchy as fuck! I'm telling you, DOM is going to blow up in '11 even more so then they did last year...that is if they want to. Living in America is still their anthem and forever will be, it's such a feel good song and was one of the best songs from last year. These guys have perfected their live show while still maintaining their party image. Wavves sucks live compared to DOM. After they finished what seemed to be a new Happy Birthday anthem DOM yelled 'Alright! Lets get fucked up! Party at my house' I think he was serious...we would have checked it out if we didn't have to drive all the way back to Hartford. I am so glad we decided to make it out for the show, it was a blast and DOM are cool dudes. Hope to see yall soon. Have a great tour.

Here is a small clip I took during the show of Bochica

Childish Gambino Touring

If you don't know about my man crush on Donald Glover then you have never read this blog. He is one of the most talented guys in a league of his own. He is taking his comedy/rap show on the road for his IAMDONALD tour. I was at the first ever Childish Gambino show in NYC this past summer. It was dope. I am looking forward to seeing how far Donald has come in a year. Tickets are now on sale for all of his shows. Be sure to check him out, you will not be disappointed.You can catch me at the Boston show with my girl. He has a new EP coming out in two days. Just do us all a favor and follow his blog over at IAMDONALD.com Thats where I get all my swag from.
