Re: “Williamsburg's Zebulon Closing”
I cannot begin to say how much this bothers me. Creators of the music scene in what was once the hippest neighborhood in NYC are forced out because of gentrification. I mean I guess it always has worked this way, but when I heard that neighbors were complaining about noise...like what exactly did they expect? But thanks to Zebulon for all the great music over the years...
Re: “Taylor Swift Shares Her Theory On Indie Music Videos”
My basic issue here is the use of the phrase "indie video"....What, pray tell, does that mean? To me, "indie" has the same applicability as "hipster", which I don't understand either....
Re: “Live: The Supreme Dicks Resurrect '90s Avant-Garde at 285 Kent”
It is interesting that SOOO many musicians in this area went to Hampshire College..Michaeld Daves for one, and Jason Bertone (bass) and Ben Swan (fiddle)..a bunch of others. Seems there are more Hampshire guys here than Berklee guys!
Re: “The 10 Best Things Right Now: The Shins, The Pogues, Not Being at SXSW and More”
The last point hits home...and I am almost 100% in agreement with you, were it ANY OTHER WEEKEND besides St. Patrick's Day weekend here in NYC. I mean you can't walk around without seeing a bunch of people who can't hold their liquor on like every other streetcorner. Not that that isn't also perhaps true in Austin, but at least there people are getting drunk while listening to music, whereas here people are getting drunk just to get drunk...yuck...
Re: “15 Great Songs That Mention 15 Great Brooklyn Neighborhoods”

Re: “Live: Titus Andronicus, Screaming Females and Diarrhea Planet Proudly Flash Their Rock Moves at The Stone Pony”
Now I am up for original band names as much as the next guy, but....maybe they (uhh, the last one) should have rethought that a bit? Great guitar playing, though, will earn a certain amount of forgiveness...
Re: “The Brooklyn Bar Awards”
How can you NOT have a category for "Best Bar with Live Music"???
