patois of post-modern pop.

Also performing:


Fire In July melds the detail and finesse of art song with the energy and
drive of pop, rock, and jazz improvisation.

Cynthia Hopkins, founder of the band Gloria Deluxe, is the recipient of the
2007 Alpert Award in Theatre, honoring her work as a writer, composer, musician,
creator and performer of unique music/theater projects.

moody pop sensibility of '80s New Wave." (New Music Box magazine)

Win tickets to see the Hold Steady in NYC on Sept 18th, 2008

The Hold Steady album, Stay Positive is growing and growing on us here at Musicology NYC. Definitely their best since their debut. We wouldn't mind checking them out live, so we RSVPd here to enter for a free ticket. You can too.

Our Apologies and 2008 Siren

For the past week or two Musicology NYC has been on hiatus due to the moving of our headquarters. We tried to get a few posts up, but it was damn near impossible. However, music has not eluded us.

We have been listening to a lot of great stuff lately. Frightened Rabbit's The Midnight Organ Fight, the new Hold Steady and Mogwai's The Hawk is Howling have been on heavy rotation.

We have also caught a brief but wonderful Santogold show at Summerstage, but most importantly we drank our faces off at Siren.

Islands stole the show as they blew away the mediocre Broken Social Scene. We have some iphone photos to prove we were there.

Anyway, we promise that we are back now and there will be no more long breaks.

The Hold Steady - Stay Positive

The new Hold Steady album, Stay Positive is streaming in full at the band's myspace.

The Hold Steady - "Sequestered In Memphis"

The Hold Steady are a phenomenon that I haven't really got since their rocking debut. It seems since then, their songs are solid, but something makes me feel they are a tad over rated. But hey, who the hell am I? ""Sequestered In Memphis" from the forthcoming Stay Positive LP, is available on iTunes now. Listen below:
