Free Energy at Mercury Lounge permalinkYou know how sometimes you really like a band, but they only have two songs on their MySpace and they don’t have an album yet but you don’t care and listen to those two songs over and over? We’ve been doing that with Philly upstarts Free Energy, who’s first track, “Dream City” is a bonafide, feelgood beach jam. Catch them in NYC tonight at Mercury Lounge—the perfect way to celebrate the fact that it almost, kind of, actually feels like summer.

Zebra #2 Mechanical Pencil permalinkZebra’s #2 Mechanical Pencil couples the precision and ease of a mechanical pencil with the timeless style of an old school #2. Factor in the real wood casing and full sized pink rubber eraser, and stationary nerds, even the closeted ones, are close to clawing each other’s eyes out. |

Radio Friendly Unit Shifter permalinkIt’s officially BBQ season and with it comes the need for BBQ music. Our recommendation? Nick Catchdubs and Mr. Ducker’s Radio Friendly Unit Shifter mixes. The two volume series, presented by Mishka, cuts up 90’s alt rock (Weezer, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, etc.) into BBQ-sized doses.

The Putting Lot permalinkThe pleasures of a summertime game of mini-golf isn’t something that New Yorkers typically get to experience, but with the opening of The Putting Lot, a few rounds of put-put are close at hand. Or as close as an L train to Bushwick. The Putting Lot is a usable art project of sorts, as it takes an empty lot and aims to make it a community space, complete with nine holes and a snack shack. Each hole is being designed by a different team of young designers and/or architects, so this little slice of urban suburbia will still be about as Brooklyn as you can get. (Via The New York Times.) |
From New York 05/26/09Le Fashion, Le Love, Le Smoking permalinkA trio of well-curated image blogs dedicated to clothes, romance, and cigarettes—two things a girl can’t live without, one that she really should learn how to.

Wah Do Dem permalinkWah Do Dem was filmed after the writers, Ben Chace and Sam Fleischner, won two tickets for a cruise to Jamaica, and it stars newcomer reggae artist Sean Bones and Norah Jones (yes, the one your parents like). The (fictional) movie follows Bones, who was left heartbroken by Jones, as he attempts to find himself in Jamaica. It premiers at the LA Film Fest in June, but until then, check out Bones’ band, which is also called Sean Bones. |
