Coming off the respective successes of Causes, Dark Was The Night, and War Child: Heroes, the Causes founders are releasing a second album in a series that we hope doesn’t need to go on much longer. All proceeds are going towards stopping the terrifying genocide in Darfur.
The lineup for this album is phenomenal, and once again, so is the cause. I urge you to grab this cd if you can, and if you don’t like the artists, I urge you to think about helping out this effort anyway. Click on for the tracklist, which includes The Decemberists, My Morning Jacket, LCD Soundsystem, Tim and Eric, RJD2, and more. Continue reading →
And here begins a new weekly (no really, weekly!) post from your pals at PMA- a guide to the week in concerts in LA, NYC, Chicago, London, and Sydney!
NYC has a grrreat set of shows in the area this week. Tuesday and Thursday night you can catch Matisyahu at Webster Hall for 35 buckaroos. If you miss him there, you can catch him at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
If 35 is a little much for your pocket, you may want to consider checking out our favorite cutesy singer, Kimya Dawson, made famous from everyone’s favorite (well, not my dad’s) cutesy movie, Juno. She’s playing Friday night at the Bowery Ballroom for a very reasonable $13.
And don’t forget to spend one of your eight nights on hanukkah with Yo La Tengo, playing their traditional eight-night gig at Maxwell’s, over in my home state, NJ. The shows are SOLD OUT, but craigslist proves to be helpful with these kinds of things.
Not too much going down in LA this week.Your best bet is Saturday night at the Spaceland, with two of my favorite newer bands. Continue reading →
I have never done anything like this on PMA before, but it might be fun, if people are willing to participate. You should all know how this works.
And a little party shuffle to get those creative juices flowing. Here are the first seven.
Juelz Santana & Lil Wayne – Let Us Pray
My Morning Jacket – Sec Walkin (Live)
Bj̦rk РWanderlust (B-Ju Remix)
Death Cab For Cutie – The Sound of Settling
LCD Soundsystem – New York, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down
My iTunes is littered with crap. I know. Craaaazy.
