Jam of the Day – CMJ Wrap Up Video #3

Montreal four-piece Beast put on a really energetic and tight live show at The Studio at Webster Hall last Friday night. As the first band playing the AM Only Showcase that night, not many people were there for their show, but this didn’t stop them from going hard with their particular Portishead-meets-Rage-Against-the-Machine stylings. Plus, dude has a keyboard on his bass! Here’s a video of their last song of the night, “Out of Control,” from their 2008 self-titled release.

Jam of the Day – CMJ Wrap Up Video #2

Here’s another video from the Levi’s/Fader Fort CMJ Showcase at the Ace Hotel’s Liberty Hall, with Pill rocking Junior MAFIA’s “Get Money” and then throwing some dollar bills in the air during the a cappella outro. Was that like $12?

Jam of the Day – CMJ Wrap Up Video #1

We were lucky over the last week to catch a lot of great shows while CMJ was in town. Here is a highlight brought to you from our EV2BK Youtube channel. We caught a killer set from Florence and the Machine at the Fader show at Liberty Hall at the Ace Hotel. This stripped-down version of “The Drumming Song” was so captivating that I almost liked it more than the recorded version.

Jam of the Day – Justin Vernon Plays The New Yorker Festival

Saturday night Justin Vernon of Bon Iver sat down and talked with New Yorker music critic Sasha Frere-Jones at Stage 37. The event, part of this year’s New Yorker Festival, basically consisted of Sasha interviewing Justin about the singer’s home state of Wisconsin where he recorded For Emma, Forever Ago in 2007, followed by a brief four song acoustic set. It was a really tender, intimate performance, and given that Vernon confirmed at the show multiple times that Bon Iver was taking a hiatus for an undetermined amount of time, a certain cathartic overtone prevailed throughout the evening.

I can’t be sure, but at the show he said this song was called “Michican’t,” although I can’t seem to find any reference to that title online. Oh well. He boldly pronounced that he “will never play this song again,” so luckily someone in the audience was taping and has put it up on YouTube.

ev Live Music – Das Racist Join Boy Crisis at Pianos for Combination Jam

Last night at Pianos, we caught a set from Boy Crisis, who were joined onstage near the end of their performance by the other half of Das Racist, Himanshu Suri (along with Boy Crisis frontman Victor Vazquez), for a “live remix” of DR’s “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell” and BC’s “Dressed to Digress.” Check out a live video of the combination.

Not sure what happened to the video during filming, but at least the audio gives you an idea of what went down. “Combination Best of Times and Worst of Times.” Word.
