BOOTIE NYE 2012 SATURDAY DECEMBER 31 MEZZANINE NYE 2011: 9pm – 3am San Francisco, CA The Mezzanine is a club/venue that’s not too big, and not too small. It’s just the right size to be as accommodating as it is intimate–which is especially key for a night out on the town such as New Year’s [...]

It’s the time of the year when all over the Internet, critics and amateurs alike are issuing forth proclamations of the year’s best whatever. It’s been an odd year for music, with quite a few artists whose records I would normally look forward to releasing underwhelming albums, and a glance around suggests there’s not much [...]

Dubstep has since morphed into [...]

2011 was ridiculously big on good new music. We live in exciting times, ladies and gentlemen. To those who claim that all great music was produced in the past, I want to say–which planet do you live on? The current state of music is actually one of the few things we 21st-century humans should be [...]

It turns out that the best antidote to holiday craziness is a solid dose of humor and snark. This past Saturday, I checked out KMLZ: HOLIDAZE, a creative collaboration between Killing My Lobster (KML), San Francisco’s leading sketch comedy group, and Z Space, a venue dedicated to new works.

Music at any given moment and at any given time can strike a very magnetic hold on people, magic even. Moreover, if Will Farrell in Elf has taught me anything, it’s that the best way to spread Christmas, and holiday cheer in general, is to sing loud for all to hear. We are just past [...]

Another year of music–of festivals and torn-up campgrounds, sold-out shows and underground shows, new albums, debut albums, and final albums, dance parties and whiskey–has come to an end. This description alone says nothing about 2011 that sets it apart from any other year. But for me, this year was a particularly enchanting one in terms [...]
