Whats Going On? gigs

In NY: The Bowery Ballroom is the place to be this week, with shows from The Rosebuds (Friday night), FRIGHTENED RABBIT (!) (Saturday night), and Department of Eagles (Monday night), and ANIMAL COLLECTIVE (Next Wednesday night). Granted, the Bowery is kind of the place to be every week.

But don’t think the Bowery is your only option this week! You’ve got Animal Collective playing their first NYC show of ‘09 at the Manhattan Center Grand Ballroom on Tuesday. Also Tuesday, party to the music of Fucked Up at the Market Hotel. And don’t forget about the best show of the week, next Wednesday (January 21st) at the Bell House. Recap-rockers Previously On Lost will be playing their odes to Jack, Sawyer, Locke, etc. at their SEASON PREMIERE PARTY for the greatest television show on air. You’ll watch the two hour premiere event first, and then finish it off with an awesome concert.

And, the FLEET FOXES are playing SNL this week! How awesome is that?

PMA College Music Project: NYU – New York City, New York

PMA College Music Project: NYU New York City, New York college music project

Earlier this week I ran an idea passed everyone. To my endless gratitude and surprise, I received many submissions for the PMA College Music Project! Three from students who live or dwell with NYU students and have embraced the 10 quintessential NYU dorm party songs many times. I really hope more college students continue to email me with their School’s Top 10 songs played around the halls and at parties. I really want to keep this weekly feature up. Remember, emailing me makes you the Office PMA Ambassador of your respective school (doesn’t that sound fancy)!

Without further ado, here is NYU’s Top 10 Songs (According to 3 entries)

Bloc Party – Mercury
The Ting Tings – That’s Not My Name
CSS – Left Behind
The Ting Tings – Shut Up And Let Me Go
MGMT – Electric Feel
Santogold – L.E.S. Artistes
Mystery Jets – Two Doors Down
Katy Perry – I Kissed a Girl
The Ting Tings – Great DJ
Madonna – Give It 2 Me

Download: PMA College Music Project: NYU [60 MB .zip]

Does anyone else think NYU is totally obsessed with The Ting Tings? But we all know there’s nothing wrong with that. I also love the presence of the Best Worst Song of 2008 (”I Kissed a Girl”) and Madonna’s best song since she was a cowboy (”Give It 2 Me”).
