This Monday, May 18, the British Electropunk group that brought us such hits as “Breathe” and “Firestarter” is coming to the 930 club. We are talking about The Prodigy, and I am really excited to be attending this show.

Color of Clouds
Appropriate name much? The electroacoustic trio, Color of Clouds, hails from Brooklyn and were actually referred to me by KR friend and favorite, Ivana XL (thank you Ivana!) Fronted by the crisp vocals of Kelli Scarr, along with the backing duo of Dan Chen and Nate Greenberg, Color of Clouds brings us a bit of… Continue reading Color of Clouds
The Lonely Island do “I’m On A Boat” live on Jimmy Fallon
The dudes from The Lonely Island brought their cool kid/frat boy jam, “I’m On A Boat,” to Jimmy Fallon last night. Could this lead to some sort of tour in the future? Maybe! But that tour would go places like The DAR Constitution Hall and the Tweeter Center in Camden, NJ (just the worst ever)… Continue reading The Lonely Island do “I’m On A Boat” live on Jimmy Fallon
Kris Ellestad: A mix of Fleet Foxes and Beirut?
I know, I know, it sounds inconceivable!! But could it be true? We got a lovely and personable email from one Kris Ellestad, a Canadian from the prairies of good ol’ Calgary (S man, where you at?) Ellestad is a special treat for all of us, because well, he is into this whole digital age… Continue reading Kris Ellestad: A mix of Fleet Foxes and Beirut?
Bark Cat Bark
Josh Todd, songwriter/composer, is Bark Cat Bark, out of Paris (France, not Texas.) Imagine what artists like Beirut or Fanfarlo (two of Todd’s influences) would sound like without the vocals and with a toned down classical theme. You’d get something close to Bark Cat Bark – music that one can easily label classical, yet has… Continue reading Bark Cat Bark

Nightly News and what the “cool kids” are listening to these days.
In order to do this, you need a tv anchor that wants to be hip. I am not just talking about “we don’t fucking torture!” hip, I am talking about the type of hip that allows you to talk to Deer Tick. Brian Williams is launching an online series of interviews with musicians. I have… Continue reading Nightly News and what the “cool kids” are listening to these days.

Spotlight Saturday: Beat Radio
Ok, so I make it seem like Spotlight Saturday is actually a feature here on Knox Road. It’s not. This is the first time I’m doing it (not meaning a spotlight of course – we’ve had several of those, just not by way of “Spotlight Saturday”), but honestly, I like alliterations and I really wanted… Continue reading Spotlight Saturday: Beat Radio
Why “Birthday Sex” is the best ever
So there’s this relatively new R&B song by Jeremih called “Birthday Sex.” No guessing games here, you know exactly what it’s about. But unlike that last song about sex and holidays, “Birthday Sex” appears to be 100% serious. I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking: “‘Birthday Sex?’ how pedantic and inane! Let me sip my… Continue reading Why “Birthday Sex” is the best ever
