NAS + Talib Kweli + DJ Green Lantern + Jay Electronica @ Metropolis

By Döc Holidæ - Phantastiq Cypha - 07/22/2008

“Ether.” It was all I could think about as I made my way to the Nas concert. Would Nas spit the track that some called be best diss track ever written? Now that Nas and Jay-Z have put their dislike for each other behind them and have even collaborated on tracks together, it was safe to say he wouldn’t go there…or would he?

CALEXICO @ Le National

By Simon Howell - A Listening Ear - 07/07/2008

Since the late 90's, Calexico -- formed by Joey Burns and John Convertino of Giant Sand -- have been steadily churning out their own blend of horn-infused folk-rock, which touches on traditional Mexican music as well as more typical American folk influences. Their live show, as it turns out, is a fairly straightforward replica of their recorded sound, albeit with a few left turns here and there.


MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE @ Le Medley

“Yes, NO, do-do-do-do!”

Le Medley, June 29th 2008. The band: Mindless Self Indulgence, touring in support of their new album If. I am still undecided on whether I am the perfect person to write this review, or the absolute worse. On the one hand, I vividly recall sneaking in to seven dollar shows in bars years before I was of age to see this band, on the other hand, I vividly recall sneaking in to seven dollar shows in bars years before I was of age to see this band.
