An Enemy of the People

March 2024 marks 10 years in New York and I wanted to do something special. Something that reminds me of why I decided to spend most of my adult life here. An Enemy of the People started its previews earlier this week…

My Chemical Romance at Le Trabendo in Paris (6/5/2005)

As Turnstile is currently playing arenas around the world with Blink-182, it is crazy to think it was possible to see them for $5 back in 2016. Doors were at midnight for this after show at the now defunct venue Aviv in…

I had the chance to catch The Smile this weekend and I can’t believe how great it was. I love late-Radiohead, and it felt like just that. Elaborate songs by musicians who have perfected their craft. I would see Johnny Greenwood play…

Boy Harsher at Knockdown Center 02/29/2020

February 2020. Leap year. It felt really cool that a show was happening on the 29th, and that the 29th was falling on a Saturday. I really got into Boy Harsher a year earlier when they released Careful. It may be the…

Shame at 新代田fever in Tokyo (11/8/2018)

I like to travel with no plan in mind. The way I think about it is: what would I do if I lived there? I book a place in a neighborhood that sounds interesting and go on with my day. And as…
