Why I don’t go to indie shows

Share Holy shit. Look at the price of these bands. Do these tickets come with a side order of pompous douche? This is just another reason why I shouldn’t support Arcade Fire, MGMT, LCD Soundsystem, Band of Horses, and Vampire Weekend. Their music isn’t all that great, and they are willing to suck every penny [...]

Burlington, VT becoming international indie hotspot

Share Well, it’s about time somebody realized that this little mountain hamlet was perfect for hipsters. It’s nestled between Montreal and NYC, with a thriving local artisan/art scene, and enough microbrews to make the Deutschland blush. Although Burlington is synonymous with Phish, finally people are realizing Phish kinda blows (blasphemy in this city). And it’s [...]

Why Arcade Fire’s new album “The Suburbs” sucks it hard

Share Two days ago I was kayaking on Lake Champlain with a friend I’m not athletic and have a terrible fear of water. But I tried to man up. As his account goes: I decided to do a swim that I normally do, (about 2.2 miles) despite the inclement weather. Swimming to the Lone Rock [...]

Synposis of Tegan and Sara concert

Share Burlington, VT is known for its large lesbian community. I don’t know why specifically lesbians. I’m not sure where or how big the homosexual community is. But the point is that at this concert there were more lesbian couples than the entire state of Vermont. Maybe I exaggerate, but I do honestly believe the [...]

Tegan and Sara: A very hip thing for me to do

Share So tonight on a last minute whim I’ll be driving nearly 2 hours to Montreal to see Tegan & Sara. As hip as people and myself believe I am, I haven’t listened to too much of their music. Which has it’s benefits: none of their songs are stale. And when this happens I usually [...]
