Action Kylie – By Kyle Killian
Posted on September 20, 2008 | 1 CommentKevin Killian's long awaited collection of poems, Action Kylie, is out! "Kylie Minogue, more than muse, is K. K.'s aesthetic m.o., his ammo. Around her name and image, he circulates the particles of his own uncanny idiom, which is unlike anything in contemporary American poetry.

Static Noise and Icelandic Blow Jobs – Kid Twist
Posted on September 17, 2008 | No CommentsThe good people of Iceland have proven time again they know how to produce breathtaking experimental, raucous, and avant-garde sounds. Kid Twist is a must-hear and definitely a must-watch, up-and-coming band and they are tearing up record studios in Iceland right now. Their music is noisy, static-ridden, angry, dark, and brooding surf-rock that makes me want to smoke way to many cigarettes and punch holes in my wall. -

Posted on August 25, 2008 | 1 CommentSo I went to the Eagle (awesome bear bar with magical possibilities lingering just about everywhere, especially near the urinals) to see a Samnation/Samuel Roy show and totally un-expectantly saw a young and fresh electro act called No New York, they opened for Sam, the band shares its name with an awesome compilation produced by Brian Eno (one of my all time faves) and put out by Island's sub-label Antilles -

Nellie McKay on Carbon Footprints, and the Rest of Outside Lands, Saturday August 23rd
Posted on August 25, 2008 | No CommentsI’ve seen the Liars multiple times so seeing them again didn’t overly excite me; I ordered a delicious vegan salad with ginger lemonade and sat in the back. Their polished sound drew quite a crowd, their long opening intro spaced me the fuck out -
