I was just thinking about him the other day. Looks like I’m not the only one.
The Salinger of Indie Rock

Apparently this amazing man is opening a venue in our fair city of NYC at 100 Lafayette. Apparently this venue is supposed to be called Santa’s Party House and apparently there are no vehicles in this world that will get me to Alex W.K. fast enough for me to throw myself in his arms and […]

Looks like this has been floating around for a few months but it’s mad cute, so I’ll link you anyway. Those sweet babes in Ratatat dropped a second remix mixtape for free right here.

Tracks to peep the most are…shit, I don’t know. They included three (count, ‘em! 3!) tracks featuring B.I.G, threw in some […]

Deerhunter just posted these outtakes from the Fluorescent Grey EP on their webpage. Most traxxx were recorded by Bradford Cox himself, but this EP is one of our favorites from good ol’ 2007 here at SC, so check it out.
1. Fluorescent Grey (Home Recording July 2006)*
2. Dr. Glass (Home Recording July 2006)*
3. Like New (Home […]

Girls Against Boys are back from hiatus, and will perform their seminal Venus Luxure No.1 Baby in its entirety as part of the All Tomorrow’s Parties “Don’t Look Back” series. Dates listed below:
07-20 New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom — tickets

“Bulletproof Cupid” is still their best song.

This is like a week old but fuck it. Here is London “indie dance” (hooooooork) outfit best known for a BLANGING cover of Olivia Newton John’s “Physical” being interviewed by your favorite people at disconap for sup magazine.

One of my favorite West Coast bands, Kickball, is playing in New York this week with French band Clara Clara. You can catch them tonight at the Cake Shop or on the 29th at the Woodser in Williamsburg. Like you’d expect from an Olympia, WA band, Kickball have a bit of a hippie vibe […]

Superchunk played a free show yesterday at Williamsburg’s McCarren Park Pool, the first in this summer’s series of pool parties at the popular waterless swimming hole. We obviously don’t need to tell you how great this band is. You know how people say when Morrissey sings, it feels like his lyrics were written just for […]

Well duh, not by looks.
This new Liars track from their upcoming s/t album sounds juuuuust like a VSS song. From the spaced out vocal effects to the (oh god i’m going to type it) angular* guitars and synth’d out madness, this track has 1995 written all over it. The problem is, I don’t hate it.
* […]

Probably fake, but apparently Win Butler recently stole some dude’s basketball at a gym in California. According to this guy’s blog, Mr. Butler freaked out and had to be escorted from the UC Berkeley gym and on his way out, nabbed the basketball.

41 years ago, Stephen Malkmus was born in Santa Monica, California and then 27 years later to the day, Sun Ra died in Birmingham, Alabama (or Saturn or something).

Nothing fun is happening this weekend. TK Webb’s show at Maxwell’s was cancelled and that band Best Fwends is playing 19 times. I would go see them just for their name, but…you know. You could go see The Faint for $25 at Motherfucker, but, as you have probably noticed, it isn’t 2002. Yeah, […]

Welcome to 2004 + 3. The Go! Team looks to be back and in it to win it with Grip Like a Vice, which I copped from Idolator via Deaf Indie Elephants. Nothing new here from the Brighton 1,000,000-piece: some cheerleaders, 14 little kids screaming, the soundtrack to Foxy Brown, a train whistle, some traffic, […]

In our continuing effort to promote ’90s nostalgia, we bring you this feature from the New York Review of Magazines, an annual publication made by students at Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism.
The piece captures the true spirit of ’90s youth zine culture in its second graf:
In the 90s, zine producing was a cottage industry with […]

With the recent publication of an ode to Sassy magazine, the (A)IQ’s been riding a hardcore wave of early ‘90s print media nostalgia. Yes, Sassy changed her life too, and there’s still a closet full of them (appreciating in value) in her parent’s house to prove it. Today Gawker brought us this nostalgia inducing reproduction […]

Fist normally does this but his ass is in the Chi-town so I’m stepping up since half the people that operate this issue are still asleep. Bunch of good stuff coming up in the Apple this weekend despite the shite weather, don’t let that stop you from wiling. I dont know when any of these […]

As the future-great Demitri Martin once quipped, “I think they invented hair gel so you could see assholes coming from a distance.” That being said, do you want to wade through dense Thursday night Bridge and Tunnel crowds full of spiky-haired, XL striped button down shirt wearing dudes and their clown-makeup toting streetwalker fuck buddies? […]

And when your friend calls to tell you the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are playing a girls-only show at a tiny venue a mile from your apartment, you drag your pajama-wearing, ice cream-eating, Food Network-watching ass out of bed and join in on the fun.

Look out Sophie’s, it seems like 16 years olds from New Jersey have a new place to get wasted and touch privates. It’s called Angels and Kings, or AK-47 because Fall Out Boy likes guns and brass knuckles and other tough things, and it’s on 11th Street between A and B. Mr. E-Penis himself, Pete […]

While I’m a fan of Pleasure Forever and their previous incarnations The VSS and Slaves, did this band really warrant a B-sides record?
They only released two studio albums and were around merely a few years as Pleasure Forever after changing their name from Slaves. Their brand of sonic debauchery is pleasant during autumn months, […]
