Lykke Li Back To Boston In October, Full North American Dates
I took over driving around 5am on our way down to Tennesse for Bonnaroo. I had done the first shift, my roommate Steve the second. I was working on three hours of sleep in the past twenty four. Lykke Li’s voice gently seeped out of the speakers and quickly began to massage my brain.
Four and […]
Ryan’s Smashing Life Presents: Live Music at Great Scott
Ryan is charging ahead with his summer series of music. They’re kind of the opposite of the Oldies Free Summer Concert Series in that they’re not free, and feature bands that are still evolving rather than heading into culture ambiguity while clutching onto their long forgotten hits.
On July 10th at Great Scott in scenic Allston […]

Everyone’s either getting the crowd, or planning to get the crowd involved in their acts. First Dan Deacon, plans to distribute sheet music for local players to learn and perform live with him. Now Weezer is getting in on the act with their crowd friendly version of Radiohead’s Creep.

Climb in Yr Car And Head Down To Earthfest
I neglected to mention that today is Earthfest. For the uninitiated it is a kind of cosmic brew set forth by the alignment of the stars, sun, earth, moon and two of jupiter’s moon, which results in a spiritual orgy of free minds and creative exploration.
Actually, it’s just a free concert at the Hatchshell put […]

We’re one!
Technically, we were one at least a few days ago, but some posts were lost when we transitioned off of WordPress.com. Therefore, I’m making May 2nd the official Enough Cowbell birthday.
So let’s imagine that exactly a year has passed since Enough Cowbell was started and let’s also imagine that the site sucks a bit […]
Blood on the Wall Remind Us That Music is the Most Important Part of a Music Video
What are the four(ish) things one needs to create a good rock music video? Not sure? Don’t worry, although I forfeit intellectual matters, such as figuring out how to split a check, to others, I’m keenly attuned to the needs of music videos.
Good Music. Unfortunately, good music is often overlooked when figuring out a music […]
I Watched Spin Interview Dan Deacon So You Don’t Have Too
Dan Deacon deftly concludes his Spin interview by saying, “I can imagine someone watching this on the internet and being like, ‘Fuck this, why aren’t I masturbating?’” His commentary accurately reflects the worth of the interview. Okay, that’s not entirely fair because there are a few noteworthy snippets drawn out during the interview.
So, you have […]
Why Pitchfork.tv’s “Don’t Look Down” Series Gets It Right
Pitchfork.tv launched a few weeks back and it features all the standards one would expect from a music oriented video portal – music videos, live shows, and even full on music documentaries (go watch Hated now; NSFW). One feature special to Pitchfork.tv is their ongoing “Don’t Look Down” series.
If you’re not familiar, here’s the premise: […]
