At the time, the sole source of information (or lack of information) was indie blog Brooklyn Vegan. Since the site has a solid track record, I assumed it to be accurate, but remained cautiously optimistic…

For The Sake Of The Song: Rebecca Roubion, Hannah Miller, and Levi Weaver @ The High Watt Tonight.
•
I turned 30 on Friday. I was told by some friends that now, I’m supposed to hate loud music and embrace the fact that spicy food might aggravate my ulcers. Well, I still do like loud music. However, there comes a time when it’s not the volume that counts—it’s the quality of the song,…

Baltimore Natives Think Alike: Animal Collective & Dan Deacon To Play Marathon Music Works.
•
As reported by the Nashville Scene, Animal Collective and Dan Deacon will play Marathon Music Works on March 13. This bill makes perfect/weird Baltimore sense, since Animal Collective’s music video for the song “Today’s Supernatural” screams weird. In fact, it might indicate that the band members all went to a Sahara circus together and decided…
