I don’t like the idea of promoting something, especially after I’ve been asked to promote something. It makes me feel like a shill. Worse yet, an unpaid shill. Still, I do happen to think this is kind of cool. I read about this show for the first time this morning and even considered writing about [...]

Update: So the Beacon Run is over. I’m sad. I’ll miss the excitement of the shows, night after night. I only went to two of them, but just following along on the the Allmans’ forum message board was thrilling in its own right. The Brothers definitely brought it over this three week stretch. They made [...]

Well, it’s not every weekend that you get to two bands as dissimilar as the Allman Brothers and the Ting Tings, nearly back to back. But that was the case as I took in the Allmans’ Beacon blowout on Saturday, followed by the Ting Tings’ Terminal 5 triumph on Monday. Both shows were excellent, even [...]

March is shaping up to be a tremendous month for me. First, on Tuesday, this delightfully understated Irish quartet will release their new album. Now, honestly, I’m a bit iffy about it. I haven’t loved the little I’ve heard from it, thus far. Still, I respect their catalog enough that I’ll pick it up and [...]

What a night at the beautiful Beacon Theatre! Honestly, I don’t even know where to start. On a night of legends, a neophyte nearly stole the show. The newly renovated Beacon has never looked or sounded better. The detailing sparkles and the murals look vibrant, but it was really the sound that struck me the [...]
Shut Out

So my dreams of seeing Leonard Cohen suffered a setback this morning. While I focused on my job, my trusted surrogate attempted to secure three tickets to his now-sold-out show at the Beacon Theatre on February 19. Sadly, no go. Whatever tickets had survived the fan club presale were long gone within 10 minutes. Bummer. [...]
It Goes Like This, the Fourth, the Fifth…

It should surprise no one that when I picked the graphic that adorns the top of this page, I did not do so at random. It’s just not my style. If you look closely, you’ll see that the notes and underlying lyrics are from the opening verse of Leonard Cohen’s masterpiece, “Hallelujah.” The oft-covered beauty [...]
