Again with the Animal Collective. I’ve had quite enough by now, thanks. But by insistent readership is … insistent. And, even though this was my third time in nine months seeing the collected animals, the old Web log has not really been saturated with related news. In any event, the review — here she be.

Berries in Spring
10 Jun 2009Once again, this sort of counts as a post. Here’s a little something I wrote. Did you miss it? Its here. Great. Go now, dear reader. Go to it and fly. Learn the ways of the hidden. Drive the automobile of the damned. Also, I wrote “Olde English.” They changed it to Old.
Cool Breeze
03 Jun 2009Great news, loyal readers. I’ve got three concert recaps in the incubator, and they’re shaping up nicely. You’ll have a fun time with them; invite your family.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart as well as Suckers at the Bowery Ballroom – 12 May 2009
02 Jun 2009I’m sorry for the delay in posting this; I wrote a bunch of words here and then lost them to the cloud. After being sad about this for quite some time, I pulled myself together and rewrote the post. Here it is.

King Khan and the Shrines with opener Mark Sultan at the Music Hall of Williamsburg – 1 May 2009

I empathize with the difficulties you have faced these past two weeks, as the terror of the possibility that this post would never come grew darker and stronger within you. Know, dear reader, that hornblower does what he can [...]
Leonard Cohen at Radio City Music Hall – 17 May 2009
18 May 2009I’ll try to get some coherent, meaningful words together at some point for this show, but it’s going to be tough. I wasn’t sure how he could live up to all the hype surrounding his recent shows, but Mr Cohen absolutely did, and more. Sorry if you missed it. Uhh, here’s the set list, at [...]
Is this what a fanboy would do? Does this make me a fanboy? What is a fanboy, anyway? Why have my posts had so many question marks in the header, lately? Weird.

Suckers
12 May 2009Listen, I don’t have to talk about a band after I see their show; I’m going to talk about Suckers before I see them tonight!
