Class Actress at Highline Ballroom Thursday

Elizabeth Harper has a singer-songwriter kinda name. And she used to be and sorta still is. But she does so in a non-singer-songwriter way. In a more new wave kinda way. Or somethin'. She and her band perform under the moniker Class Actress and they make good music.

If you don't believe me then believe Pitchfork (Rising!) and Grizzly Bear (They are on Terrible Records the new label run by Chris Taylor). What more could you ask for? How bout live music...Thursday, January 7th with Au Revoir Simone. Doors are at 7pm, Class Actress on at 9:30pm

Vampire Weekend - "Contra" Streaming

We know you were wondering when we were gonna talk about rock music again. Today's the day. Listen here Vampire Weeekend fiends. Contra is out next week. But you can listen now.

Strong Arm Steady feat. Phonte "Best of Times"

Yes. I like music when it sounds like this: Strong Arm Steady feat. Phonte "Best of Times". I would marry Stones Throw Records if it were legal. Can't wait to hear this whole thing.

Brothers Johnson - "Stomp"

Happy New Year people.

My most recent vinyl score was $1 for the album "Light Up the Night" by the Brothers Johnson. For those of you not in the know the album is produced by Quincy Jones, it has songs written by Rod Temperton (MJ songwriter)and Michael Jackson himself.

"Stomp" was a song I heard one night back in Philly in my mom's car, I shazamed it and saw this album art:



So therefore I was hooked.
