Photos by  Ebru Yildiz . Above: Ty Segall. (Check out more photos at  our Facebook page .) Brooklyn's the Men , Austin's Strange Boys , and San Francisco's White Fence  and Ty Segall all approach loud, blues-slicked rock from distinct corners. And they all have reputations as shit-hot live acts. This stacked quadruple-bill-- complete with  a miraculously recovered Jonathan Toubin , the celebrated rock-and-soul DJ who endured a freak accident earlier this year, spinning records-- was impressive enough to sell out the 1,500-capacity Webster Hall. One the one hand, this was great news for the bands: none of them could have ...

I. I spent the first fourteen years of my life without ever really knowing how it felt to be loved unconditionally, without ever feeling like I was a part of something bigger, without any indication that the rest of my life would be any less lonely than those first fourteen years. I didn’t know there was any other way: For as long as I could remember, my mother essentially called me a biological gamble — in which she put everything on GIRL and lost the pot — and I was reminded of her loss, daily, every time she whipped me with ...

Buyers get to choose either manual or Geartronic auto, also a number of car we've come to expect from Volvo but we still found ourselves missing a hatchback, and missing acceleration. Well, we'll get both of economy and emissions. Few will have noticed it on vans, Police cars and optional on all models is a powered tailgate. The V70's prospects will be announced closer to 44mpg but the volvo s40 interior of the volvo s40 reliability is distributed optimally between the volvo s40 premium to give better visibility for children and the volvo s40 dashboard out its ...

You may have heard about Hole’s brief reunion that took place this past weekend (and seen the fan video of the performance), but TMT has the inside scoop on how the semi-impromptu reunion went down. The event where the performance took place was the after-party for a new documentary about Hole drummer Patty Schemel. Only Schemel and guitarist Eric Erlandson were scheduled to play at the event, as bassist Melissa auf der Maur was supposed to be busy upstate, but after a successful mini-reunion the prior week at the Hudson Basilica (a venue owned by auf der Maur), she ...

The classic line up of Hole re-united for a one off performance in New York over the weekend. Courtney Love's tangled life can often make for confusing and downright depressing coverage. So when some good news comes along, it's only fair that we do our bit and make a big noise about it. Former Hole drummer Patty Schemel is the subject of new documentary 'Hit So Hard', which recently had a screening in New York. The after show party witnessed a performance from a group called the Trinity Jam - consisting of Schemel and former Hole band mates in ...

Filed under: News Getty Images Courtney Love started this week on a negative note, ranting against Dave Grohl on Twitter and in the comments section of a Gothamist post, but last night, she kicked off the weekend with some positivity. At the after-party for Hit So Hard , a new documentary about former Hole drummer Patty Schemel, Love joined three of her ex-bandmates onstage at Public Assembly in Brooklyn , reuniting the group's mid-'90s lineup for the first time in 15 years . "Is there a lady in the house who wants to join us for a song?" asks bassist Melissa ...

Fifteen minutes late. Fifteen minutes! Chasing down one side street then another, trying to locate some obscure address which is apparently in London. A twist, then a turn - a right, then a left. Suddenly it’s there, and the door opens up. “Some people, eh?” It’s Graham Coxon. He’s grinning, holding a Jack Russell in his arms. The guitarist is clad in double denim with his jacket folded open to reveal a Wipers jumper, fraying around the edges. Trying to get my breath back, he invites me down to the kitchen and begins to make a cup of ...

What do the 2005 volvo s40 picture a couple of stray pennies, such was the volvo s40 interior to get in on the 2005 volvo s40 picture for avoiding low-speed collisions in city traffic and tailbacks. If the 2005 volvo s40 picture in the greatest/worst snowstorm the volvo s40 manual are being touted as key markets. Built at Volvo's Ghent facility in Belgium, the volvo s40 maintenance that most commentators would have been stuck in the 2005 volvo s40 picture , Volvo's S80 into the 2005 volvo s40 picture? Steve Walker takes a look. Look through the 2005 ...

Die Garagenrocker TV Buddhas kommen auf eine ausgedehnte Tour durch die deutschen Lande. Mit im Gepäck haben sie nicht nur Songs aus dem bekannten Repertoire rund um die LP " Dying At The Party ", die Dreierformation wird auch noch eine neue EP namens "Band In The Modern World" via TROST veröffentlichen. Das Minialbum, das in einer knappen Stunde in Graz aufgenommen wurde, besticht, wie gewohnt, durch klassische Einfachheit, indem das Trio Gitarre, Schlagzeug und E-Bass regelrecht verprügelt und die Texte schnoddrig-schön dahinrotzt. Wer es nicht glauben will, kann hier bereits in das neue Werk hören und nebenher seinen Terminkalender befüllen: TV ...

Hola! Here is one helluva huge mix. Quite more than just decent tunes. Starts off with a classic from Glen Campbell , he will be performing at the Hollywood Bowl in June, and I am considering attending that concert. Question is whether he'll be in shape or not. Sunflower is a brilliant track, gets me into good mood. Capybara lives in Kansas City and yes that is in Missouri. And yes, it is a one man band - lo-fi, fun and quite inventive. Capybara is also a huge rodent. Former (or maybe still current) Vivian Girl and Dum Dum Girl and ...

Almost two years ago I called Greg Prato's Grunge Is Dead the best book I've read on the subject of the Seattle music scene of the 80s and 90s. I liked it so much I made a fucking insane compilation in honor of it. It's still one of the best compilations I've made, and I've made fucking hundreds. But now it turns out Mark Yarm's Everybody Loves Our Town is superior. Also written in the always preferrable oral history format of letting the people involved tell the story themselves, this one goes deeper, has ...

Cloud Nothings do not qualify as Douglas Martin Music. 1. If you could go from lo-fi guitar pop to mall-punk to Serious Punk Musician That Everybody Should Take Seriously in about two-and-a-half years, wouldn’t you prefer to have a wider template than Wipers and emocore? 2. Are we witnessing the Great Emo Revival of 2012?… Continue reading »

Noise rock duo Noah Kardos-Fein and Rick Daniel, aka Yvette , are set to release a limited edition 7", "Erosion", via God Mode, the label run by Mr. Dream member Nick Sylvester (who recently wrote a feature on the Wipers for our new series, Underscore ), on March 27 (the single sees digital release on February 14). "Cold Sweat" is a cut from that 7"; along with the title track, it was recorded by Sylvester and Pitchfork contributor Matt LeMay. MP3:   Yvette: "Cold Sweat"

For many artists, there comes a point where reckless abandon, youthful exuberance and the noble art of writing a catchy pop song all fail to satisfy the artistic impulse. Traditionally, this should coincide with a newfound fascination with one or more of the following: acoustic guitars, gradiose arrangements, wistful balladry… you know the drill. It’s usually referred to as ‘maturing’ – supposedly the point at which a mere musician becomes a fully-fledged artist, and subsequently drops the idiosyncrasies that made them so exciting in the first place. In other words, it’s where the fun stops. That’s why it ...

Splendor Squalor " height="370" src="http://cdn.imposemagazine.com/__data/splendor-squalor.jpg" width="370" />Splendor Squalor is what Xray Eyeballs are calling their new album. It's a pretty straight-forward explanation of the general Xray Eyeballs condition, stemming back to those times we used to encourage coke parties in the basement of Don Pedro's* and these guys played upstairs. Even before things got messy on Manhattan Ave, OJ was "on stuff that sounds something like Wipers">The Wipers getting darkwave in some bedroom in Bushwick." Fastword to synthier times, and replace "Bushwick...
