GIFT COMPLEX

There is this band from Glasgow, Sons and Daughters who are really good. They sort of remind me of LA punk band X, whose album Los Angeles I have been listening to recently mixed with like this sort of tradition Scottish music vibe. They have a male female vocal duet that works really well. Their song Gift Complex kind of makes me want to have an impromptu viking disco inferno dance (major points for anyone who gets that reference). aaaan they are playing in March at Music Hall in Williamsburg. hooray!

Secondly. Can I just say that I am excited that love of my life and hero Pete Doherty is on the cover of recent issues of SPIN and NME? yay! AND the Libertines are on the cover of Q. Further confirming my belief that they are one of the seminal bands of our generation. Here is one of my favorite pics:



Thirdly, I just got an internship at Courduroy Magazine that I am really excited about. It's a quarterly journal that aims to be "timeless not timely", and profiles artists, musicians, fashion desigers, and actors. The design is gorgeous. Kind of like if Marc Jacobs had sex with himself and birthed a magazine. Jenna Malone was on the cover of the premiere issue looking gorgeous of course, and the photos inside are even more stunning. It's a little on the pricey side ($7) but they are sort of like mini coffee table books, ones you would want to keep on display.


Lastly the CLUB NME NIGHT AT ANNEX that I am hosting is now officially happening on February 14th, Valentines Day! So bring your friends, bring your boyfriend, bring your lover, bring whoever, just come! I promis you it will be fun. Even if I have to make out with you myself.
