Cold Cave: New Cold Cave - "Life Magazine"

submitted by Nick Jun 30th 2009 07:01 pm (stereogum.com)

Philadelphia BTW Cold Cave is an interesting entity, straddling noise, synth-pop, darkwave, power electronics, and art/transgressive literature via their Heartworm Press. (You might recognize their current cover star Marti Domination from Cremaster 1.) Wesley Eisold remains the central creator, it seems, but he's joined by a revolving cast that ...

Xiu Xiu: Stewart: Solo Tour, CD Series, Chocolate

Photo by David HorvitzWhen Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart does the solo-acoustic thing, he doesn't exactly render his band's noise-pop in Starbucks-friendly form. Next year, Stewart plans to release a new Xiu Xiu record called Dear God, I Hate Myself, so that should give you some idea of what you'll be getting with solo Stewart. If he doesn't make your...

submitted by Nick Nov 21st 2008 12:00 am (stereogum.com)

Last night was the second time New York x New York -- the memorable comedy/music series designed to drive subscriptions to New York mag and frustrate with 65-minute lines for one-hour open bars -- turned to the "Bad Art Auction" concept. The first time around, Zach Galifianakis offered up a sharp standup set but his heart just didn't seem into t...
