Summer is Gone; A Recap of August
If you visit this site regularly you will notice that I have barely updated this summer. 2010 has been a year for major changes and maturing (if you can believe it) in a sense. After hitting a plateau in every sense of the word with my previous job of nearly 4 years, I left for [...]
In Awe of What’s in Front of Me: Empire of the Sun Live at Terminal 5
Back in 2008 a friend introduced me to Empire of the Sun via the music video for Walking on a Dream, my initial reaction being “What is this…?” After a few listens, views and the supplemental debut album, Empire of the Sun began to make sense. Two years after the release of Walking on a [...]
LCD Soundsystem and Holy Ghost! Day 1 at Terminal 5 [Pics + Video]
A few years ago James Murphy sat next to me at a bar in the West Village. He and I had a short conversation about beer, the music that was playing on the jukebox and New York. Prior and currently, everytime I think about my life in New York post-911, post-college mixed in with the [...]

Clap Your Hands: Sia Wows at NYC’s Terminal 5!
Last night was my first time properly seeing Sia perform live in concert, but it almost didn’t happen due to a hellish battle with NYC public transportation.

Peaches Rocks Terminal 5 with Amanda Blank!
Collectively I’ve seen Saturday’s line up 8 times this year. Peaches: 3, Amanda Blank: 5.

Terminal 5 Gets HARD for Major Lazer and Crookers!
