It's time for the annual Siren music fest in Coney Island on Saturday, July 21.  We're skipping the Alphabet City 'hood this week and hopping on the F train out to Brooklyn for some sun, the Cyclone, Nathan's hot dogs, and a day of live music on 2 stages near the beach. 

This week's podcast features music from the Siren line-up...

Main Stage acts:  The Twighlight Sad, The Black Lips, We Are Scientists

Stillwell Stage acts:  White Rabbits, Elvis Perkins in Dearland, The Detroit Cobras, Lavender Diamond, Matt and Kim, Voxtrot, Cursive

Developers are looming over Coney Island as we know it, so enjoy it while you can!  Have fun.

Thanks for sticking with me.  I think I've got the whole talking thing down this week, which is a nice thing when your doing a podcast (and even better for you).  Here's the line-up of featured acts this week:

Friday, July 13:  The Besnard Lakes shows us that Montreal still is kickin' the rock scene.  They play Mercury Lounge.  Opening the show is The Muggabears (Show 47).

Saturday, July 14:  Kite will be taking their cool psychadelic sound to Cake Shop. Also Saturday, July 14:  F-Units rock out Club Midway at around midnight.

By the way, check out Land of Talk in a free green show on Saturday afternooon.

And don't forget Ford & Fitzroy playing their residency all month on Thursdays at Pianos.

Make sure you come back next week as we gear up for Siren at Coney Island next week.

Happy birthday to us!  It's the week of July 4th.  Time to celebrate our independence. 

Don't know the deal with my brain and mouth this week.  They just weren't in sync.  But we still have some great bands.  Check out who's featured in this week's show:

Thursday, July 5:  Perry Went Home makes their way from St. Louis to Pianos.

Friday, July 6:  Brooklyn's My Teenage Stride play at Cake Shop.

Saturday, July 7:  Batorats take the stage at Tiswas at The Annex.  I saw them play a few months ago, and they were great.

Saturday, July 8:  Memphis is truly a mecca for music of music all kinds, and they bring us Antique Curtains, a band with a unique punk sound.  Check them out at Cake Shop before going to The Annex.
