LCD Soundsystem at Terminal 5

These guys know how to put on a fantastic show. They closed "New York, I Love You" (of course) complete with raining white balloons and topped with a quick rendition of "Empire State of Mind."
Shot for Sup Magazine. More there soon... (with words!)
EDIT: More photos here.

Cold Cave at Barnard College

Cold Cave playing at WBAR Barnard College Radio's annual BBQ.
I've somehow seen four versions of the band so far (changing band membership and what not): (1) during No Fun Fest, (2) during Fashion's Night Out at the Rogan store, (3) at the WFMU fest, and (4) now.

Still on Break

Delayed | Incheon Int'l Airport, South Korea | March 22, 2010

I had spent a week abroad doing some thesis research.
This image is straight out of the camera, taken on the way back to New York.

A Bit of a Break

Yeah... a bit of a break here from concerts because of my thesis woes. I don't foresee going to gigs this coming month. Here's a placeholder photo I took the day before Valentine's Day.

By the way, new Joanna Newsom rocks.

Phantogram at Mercury Lounge

Strobe lights always make fun times.
More to come at the House List site.

Candid

Lou Reed | Miller Theater at Columbia University | February 5, 2010

That's what a destroyed iPhone looks like

Vampire Weekend at United Palace

It was really good to see these guys again. I also saw the show at Webster the next day.

More photos from United Palace at Brooklyn Vegan!
Their album is now #1 on the Billboard charts! I say this again and again: I still can't believe
how huge they've gotten.

Don't Mess with Texas

I had to skip the Drums and Gang Gang Dance because of a family trip to Sugar Land and Houston, Texas. Here's my favorite photo:
Kinda crazy, right? As a urbanite who doesn't know how to drive, I felt extremely out of place there. I always forget how spacious America is and how that space is often poorly planned. How many strip malls and cul-de-sacs does this nation really need? I know it is unrealistic for every American to subscribe to high-density city living, but I couldn't help but be disheartened by the urban sprawl and car culture I encountered in the southwest.
