Me, dj'ing the Gate + White Out with Samara and MV gig

I'll be filling time and space with records this Wednesday night for Red Desert Nights at Rehab, which is presenting the first Gate show here in who-knows-how-long. Mssrs Morley and Yeats are in town early for the upcoming Dead C show at Bowery Ballroom, which, like tonight's hosts/openers, White Out (joined by Samara Lubelski and MV Carbon on strings), is a duhn't miss for the out-minded.

A thousand apologies…

…to everyone who's heard me say I'd never start a blog. When I was gainfully employed by a media outlet, there seemed no reason to write even more than I already was. But now— …

Anyway, I've got a review of the new Dead C in the Village Voice, and a two-fer review of the striking new Rare Book Room releases by Palms and Lia Ices in the latest Time Out NY. The Dead C is coming to the States soon, for the first time in years; Palms and Lia Ices had a great night at Santos a couple of weeks ago (the first live show ever for Palms). I could go on about the bizarre behavior of the crowd that night—and likely will soon—but a sparkling fall day is calling me and Comet outside.
