The Strokes – On The Other Side

Lightning Bolt’s Hypermagic Mountain came out this week. Here’s a song from it. It sounds a lot like their other stuff, as in: awesome.

Mates of State were adorable last night. ADORABLE. There wasn’t much banter; just one bright, poppy dance ditty after another, accented by lots of affectionate glances between the Mates. Openers Bishop Allen cheerfully delivered their equal parts quirky-and-catchy set, and Dirty On Purpose were lame – I think. I was getting sauced downstairs.

QUICKIES:….If you haven’t already, buy at least Volume 7 of the Ethiopiques series…..Wes alums Man V Beast will play Sun 11/13 at Southpaw with man v. woman duo Mommy & Daddy....check out sort-of-comedian-definitely-comedic Demetri Martin in his new show "These Are Jokes" and Monday in "Bro'in Out" at UCB Theater. Hilarity.
