There are some sounds that will forever resonate with us and vibrate beneath/against our thoughts. Up and coming indie band, Milo Greene, reshuffles sounds common to the genre, but in a way that makes their songs worthy of space on your repeat playlist. I recently saw them live at the Hammer Museum’s “I Also Like To Rock” event.
Twin Atlantic issue their newest, Free, today, after the single “Edit Me” blew up the charts; Fleet Foxes are all the rage with Helplessness Blues; JLo is still around; Beastie Boys give you more of their awesome Sauce; and Fleetwood’s Stevie Nicks is back yet again. Kind of a scarce release week; the A-listers on board make up for it. Next week the emphasis is on the old school, with new cuts from Urge Overkill, The Cars, and others…

NKOTBSB?! Mind. Blown. So NKOTB were a bit before my time, well I mean I knew girls who were obsessed with them, but at the time I was more of a Green Day girl (Dookie was one of my first albums, totes had the poster hanging up over my bed and everything; man I was a cool 8 year old…), however I was all about BSB (“I Want It That Way”, “Quit Playing Games With My Heart”?! Oh I could die. Such tunes!) so part of me is totally excited about this collaboration of ex-boyband heartthrobs. And their first single is undeniably catchy. This insanity drops May 24th.
I made the trek — from the East Village down to Battery Park, onto a ferry & across to New Jersey — to All Points West feeling optimistic about what I might see there. My mission? To document & study the fashion in the field, like a sartorial spy, eyes akimbo & trigger-happy fingers itching to take photos & extensive notes.
