That didn't take long. Last night we posted it as a rumor. Today it is confirmed (removal of Louis CK included):
ATP Concerts today announce the relocation of this September's New Jersey based I'll Be Your Mirror festival event to Pier 36 in Manhattan, New York.Whether this is related to ATP filing for liquidation or not is not 100% clear (but who really cares). Updated ATP NYC lineup below...
Pier 36 was the intended home for I'll Be Your Mirror beginning in 2013 - but due to unavoidable logistical concerns (along with a lack of available fan accommodations in Asbury Park), ATP has decided to move there for this year's event.
New additions to the festival today include: Philip Glass & Tyondai Braxton, Janeane Garofalo, Lightning Bolt, Lee Ranaldo, Chavez, Kurt Braunohler, Afterhours, Joseph Arthur, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, The Album Leaf, The Psychic Paramount, Braids, Tall Firs, Blanck Mass, Endless Boogie, Demdike Stare and DJ Jonathan Toubin with more to be added to all three days - see below for more info on the new additions...
Some artists who are unable to play the new location - the following statement comes from Louis CK's management:
"Louis CK who was originally scheduled for the Asbury Park event will not be performing at ATP in Manhattan due to scheduling conflicts. Check louisck.com for info about his tour schedule."
Sharon Van Etten, Reigning Sound and Factory Floor will also not be available to perform. All other previously announced artists will perform as originally scheduled.
"We hope that the new venue will make for an incredible event and open up many other accommodation options to fans who were unable to find rooms in Asbury Park," comments ATP's Barry Hogan. "We sincerely apologise to those inconvenienced by the move and hope that any problems caused may be minimised by the relatively small distance between the two locations. Anyone who is unable to attend due to the move or due to the cancellation of Louis CK can claim a full refund by contacting their ticket agent between now and July 31st."
Pier 36 is a new indoor venue sitting on the edge of the East River between the Manhattan & Williamsburg Bridges - it's outside area boasts glorious views of Brooklyn and the Statue of Liberty.
The Saturday night of this year's festival will be headlined by The Afghan Whigs (who have reunited after a 13 year hiatus) and curated by their frontman Greg Dulli, with ATP curating the Friday and Sunday nights.
Tickets are on sale now via ATPfestival.com priced at $199 for the Weekend, with Day Passes also newly available priced at $60 for Friday & $75 for Saturday/Sunday.
Full information on the additions to all three days of the line-up...
Friday will feature both music and comedy - we can now announce a musical headliner for Friday, as esteemed composer PHILIP GLASS teams up with TYONDAI BRAXTON (former Battles frontman) for a completely unprecedented live collaboration. Other stellar additions to the day's musical line-up are LIGHTNING BOLT - one of the world's most unmissable live acts, and LEE RANALDO of Sonic Youth. Joining the Friday on the Comedy stage is none other than standup/actress JANEANE GAROFALO, newcomer KURT BRAUNOHLER, with more to be confirmed. Friday tickets cost $60.
Saturday, headlined by THE AFGHAN WHIGS and featuring a stellar list of artists chosen by the Whigs' frontman Greg Dulli, has three new artists. First up are alternative rock band CHAVEZ, who returned to the live arena in the last few years to much acclaim, and they're joined by Italy's AFTERHOURS (past collaborators with Greg Dulli) and Ohio based singer/songwriter JOSEPH ARTHUR. They join the previously announced Saturday line-up of The Afghan Whigs, The Roots, José González, Mark Lanegan Band, Dirty Three, The Antlers, The Dirtbombs, Scrawl, Emeralds, Vetiver, Charles Bradley And The Extraordinaires and DJ Questlove with more to be confirmed. Tickets for this day cost $75.
Sunday will be headlined by one of the incomparable live shows from legendary Canadian post-rock pioneers GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR. Also newly confirmed are Canada's fantastic BRAIDS, Britain's DEMDIKE STARE and BLANCK MASS (feat Benjamin Power of F**k Buttons), intense New York post-rock from THE PSYCHIC PARAMOUNT, a return ATP performance from THE ALBUM LEAF, cult rock quartet ENDLESS BOOGIE, alt folk duo TALL FIRS, and DJ JONATHAN TOUBIN. They join the previously announced Sunday line-up of The Make-Up, Hot Snakes, The Magic Band, Autolux, Thee Oh Sees, I Break Horses and Quintron And Miss Pussycat (moving to this day from Saturday) with more to be confirmed. Sunday tickets cost $75.
As well as the live music line-up and comedy on the Friday, our friends at The Criterion Collection will return to run the Cinema across the weekend. All three days feature DJs and other activities to be confirmed in the months ahead. Each day runs from noon-midnight.

Sharon Van Etten at Pianos in June (more by Jessica Amaya)
Sharon Van Etten is continuing to tour internationally in support of her new album, Tramp, which was released earlier this year, and she's just announced a new run of dates to go down this fall. Sharon was originally set to play ATP NJ, but unfortunately she had to cancel. Could it have anything to do with the fact that ATP filed for liquidation? Stay tuned for more on the state of ATP, though as of now all events are still on, and ATP tweeted this morning, "Thanks for your patience in waiting for our statement on the changes within the company - they'll be ready to announce in the next few days."
Meanwhile, Sharon will still make her way back to NYC this year, and it's for her largest headlining gig in the area yet. She'll play Town Hall on November 15. Tickets for that show are not on sale yet, but check ticketmaster for updates. No opener has been announced for that show yet, but it comes right at the end of her run with Damien Jurado.
As mentioned, Sharon was recently interviewed by the Human Serviette Narduwar. Check out a video of that interview below, along with a list of all tour dates...

Natureboy w/ Sharon Van Etten at Pianos - 6/28/12
Brooklyn's Natureboy (aka Sara Kermanshahi) wrapped up a residency at Pianos last Thursday (6/28). The residencies took place every Thursday in June, and each one featured a different lineup of artists. For the 6/28 show, Sara was joined by Doug Keith, Cat Martino, She Keeps Bees, The Roadside Graves, and DJ Sharon Van Etten, who, as predicted, joined Sara on stage during her set.
In related news, Sharon Van Etten and her bandmate Doug Keith were just interviewed by Nardwuar. A video of that interview is below, along with more pictures and videos from the Pianos show (unfortunately none of Roadside Graves).

Natureboy kicking off residency at Pianos w/ Sharon Van Etten, Cat Martino, She Keeps Bees, Caged Animals & more
by Andrew Sacher
Brooklyn folk pop singer Natureboy (aka Sara Kermanshahi) kicks off a residency at Pianos TONIGHT (6/7), which will take place every Thursday night in June. Each show is with a pretty solid lineup; tonight it's Caged Animals, Christine Horberg, Vorhees, and St. Claire. Other artists appearing during the residency include Shenandoah & The Night, Shilpa Ray, Cat Martino, She Keeps Bees, Doug Keith, The Roadside Graves, and more. On the last night of the residency (6/28), Sharon Van Etten, who sings on Natureboy's album, will be DJing and it wouldn't be too surprising if she joined in on vocals during Natureboy's set while she's there. The full schedule and flier for the residency is below and tickets for all four shows are on sale now.
Natureboy's album can be streamed in full at her bandcamp and it's a pretty enjoyable listen. Check it out for yourself over there and stream some tracks below.

Crossing Brooklyn Ferry night 1 pics & review (The Walkmen, Sharon Van Etten, David Byrne, Amanda Palmer, Zs & more)
words by Andrew Frisicano, photos by David Andrako
The Walkmen @ BAM
BAM's Bryce and Aaron Dessner-curated Crossing Brooklyn Ferry series/festival had its first night Thursday. It continues tonight/Friday with a lineup headlined by St. Vincent and The Antlers (and Saturday with Beirut and Atlas Sound).
Music kicked off at 5pm with early slots filled by indie-classical acts like yMusic and JACK Quartet. Composer-uke-player Jherek Bischoff started things out inside the Howard Gilman Opera House at 7pm, and his set featured guest spots from David Byrne and Amanda Palmer. Check out the pictures below.
The first band I saw was Twin Shadow, an act that always sounds a lot better to me on record than live (something about George Lewis Jr.'s voice and the intricacies of the production don't translate exactly on stage). A welcome special guest, the Blackfire Percussion, added drum corp percussion on a few of the songs.
Sharon Van Etten powered through a set that highlighted how much she's evolved since her early acoustic days. She offered a throwback to her Because I Was In Love debut with a solo version of "I Fold" dedicated to her parents. Aaron Dessner, who produced Tramp, played guitar on a few of the tracks. And Sharon tapped "Serpents" for the triumphant, soaring closer.
Sharon Van Etten @ BAM
The Walkmen navigated a set of new tunes and classics: in addition to putting out their sixth LP, Heaven, in June, this year marks the 10th-anniversary of their debut, Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me Is Gone. Among the songs played were "Angela Surf City," "In the New Year," "Blue As Your Blood" and new tracks "Heaven," "Heartbreaker" and "Southern Heart." Hamilton, as always, stretched the limits of his voice to good effect, especially on the haunting A Hundred Miles Off track "All Hands and the Cook." The band closed with an encore of "We've Been Had," which they noted was the first song they wrote as a band.
Between those last two I ventured to the BAM Cafe to see Zs, playing as a duo and sounding completed different than the last time I saw them in July. Guitarist Ben Greenberg describes the change as "The old stuff was like an old Soviet tank driving down Main Street; the new stuff is like a spaceship landing on City Hall." The shift from angular guitar and skronking saxophone to whatever they do now was pretty evident in the small snippet that I caught. Greenberg's guitar laid dubby rhythms lines while Sam Hilmer's sax played melodies and riffs off in the distance. Hopefully they'll line up more shows soon. (As Hubble, Greenberg makes the NYC debut of that project's "quadraphonic Hubble Superposition set" tonight.)
After that I caught a few songs by Yellowbirds, hidden up in Cinema 3 and playing to a crowd of about 20 people (including Conrad Doucette). The Jonathan Richman-esque two-piece was a nice surprise to find soaked in the smell of movie-theater popcorn.
(People Get Ready and Heather Broderick played, and a program of short films screened, but I arrived too late to see them. And I only caught a snippet of Callers by skipping the end of Twin Shadow.)
One bummer about the schedule is that, with the exception of the extremely early classical sets, it's impossible to see more than a few minutes of the smaller bands without skipping the headlining acts. That scheduling, and the vague, unnecessary "Brooklyn" theme, are a bit puzzling, but all in all the fest is a good chance to see bands like the Walkmen and Sharon Van Etten in the gorgeous Howard Gilman Opera House, a space that's surprisingly intimate and cozy for its size (and having the first few rows of seats removed for the crowd to stand was a nice touch).
More pictures from Thursday below...

Mike Watt played Stooges songs w/ J Mascis & many guests @ LPR (to celebrate his book) -- pics, video, setlist
by BBG
In the live interview that took place before Hellride East (aka J.Mascis and Murph of Dinosaur Jr, and the guest of honor for the evening Mike Watt) hit the stage, Watt told rock critic Byron Coley about his intense love for John Coltrane ("I thought he was a punk") and how The Stooges changed his life. It was the latter that formed the basis for Hellride East's set at Le Poisson Rouge last night (5/2), as part of a release party for Mike Watt's new book On & Off Bass.
Featuring opening sets from throwback punk rockers Dead Trend and Brooklyn post-punkers Appomattox, the Hellride East set was comprised of 100% Stooges covers along with a shockingly large number of guest appearances. Names like Thurston Moore, Sharon Van Etten, Kurt Vile, Steve Shelley, and a gang of other guests sauntered on stage to help tear through Stooges classics like "TV Eye", "Loose" (with Thurston), "Dirt" (with Sharon), "Not Right", "Down on the Street", "1970", set closer "Fun House" and many more. Though the band was clearly loose and out to have a good time, it was a night of wonderful surprises and, like Iggy would say, a "Real Cool Time".
If you were there last night, you might already have a copy of the book (and signed). If not, you can still order yours. Mike Watt recently completed a tour with his old band fIREHOSE which hit Coachella.
Pictures and the setlist from Le Poisson Rouge, a video from the interview session, and the audio from an interview Mike did on WNYC Soundcheck earlier in the day, below...

Lollapalooza 2012 lineup (Jack White, At The Drive-In, Sigur Ros, Black Keys, RHCP, Afghan Whigs, M83, Weeknd, SBTRKT, Black Sabbath & more)
Lollapalooza (more by Grant MacAllister)
Chicago Sun Times reports:
Lollapalooza has revealed its official 2012 list of performers -- a typically wide-ranging smorgasbord of genres and styles topped by nearly a dozen mainstage headliners: the Red Hot Chili Peppers, freshly reunited bands Black Sabbath and At the Drive-In, the Black Keys, Jack White, Florence + The Machine, the Shins and Passion Pit, plus spotlighted electronic music including Swedish house titan Avicii, French dance duo Justice and DJ-producer Bassnectar.Check out the full list below...
The annual music festival is scheduled for Aug. 3-5 in Chicago's Grant Park.
Rumored lineups have circulated widely, as they usually do, and Lollapalooza itself stoked the speculation in recent weeks via a series of CTA and online advertisements that seemed to hint at who would be playing.
The ads featured lyrics from such acts as Sigur Ros, Santigold, Jack White, Kimbra, Twin Shadow, the Weeknd, Bloc Party and more -- all bands that wound up on the bill.

What Else?
J Mascis & Sharon Van Etten @ the Mohawk (pic by jaredeberhardt)
Sharon Van Etten kept it minimal at SXSW this year. She played NPR's big, annual, and still-streaming show at Stubb's, and the showcase of her label at the Mohawk which is where, to quote jaredeberhardt, she "pulled J Mascis out of the audience to play an encore." J was in Austin to play a single show with Dinosuar Jr. Check out a video clip of Sharon & J jamming, below. Check out Sharon on Conan O'Brien tonight (3/20), and at one of the tour dates listed below...

Shearwater @ Bowery Ballroom
Shearwater completed a tour with Sharon Van Etten over the course of two nights in NYC over the weekend. Pictures from their opening set at Bowery Ballroom on 2/25 are in this post (pictures of Sharon are HERE).
Shearwater is currently on the road for a string of US and European dates, including SXSW (where they'll play a Stereogum party), and a stint with St. Vincent. None of the shows with St. Vincent hit NYC but Shearwater will make a stop here for their own show during the tour at Le Poisson Rouge on May 6. Tickets for that Manhattan show are on sale now.
In other news, you can still stream all of Shearwater's new LP Animal Joy below. Pick up your copy now via Sub Pop.

Sharon Van Etten & alien balloon @ Bowery Ballroom
Sharon Van Etten's recent round of East Coast dates came to a close over the weekend with a trio of homecoming shows at Music Hall of Williamsburg and Bowery Ballroom. The first and second shows featured support from Shearwater and went down on 2/24 at MHOW and 2/25 at Bowery; pictures of Sharon from both adorn this post. Sharon's next date was at Bowery Ballroom on the following evening (2/26) with Carter Tanton and Glass Ghost (no pics).
The Saturday show was especially joyous, being that she was back home, it was at her favorite venue Bowery Ballroom (where it once seemed like a big deal that she sold out for just one night), her family was in the house, she was celebrating a birthday, there was a huge balloon alien on stage that was a gift from the Antlers (who were all in the audience), and it was her last date with Shearwater who came out for the encore to play as one big happy band with Sharon and crew. (like they have on other dates of the tour). "Sharon Van Etten melting hearts and faces" I tweeted from the show.
Sharon Van Etten boards a plane later this week for a short string of dates in Europe, but will be back on US soil in time to play two shows at SXSW: the big NPR show at Stubb's with the just-added Fiona Apple and the Secretly Canadian/Jagjaguwar/Dead Oceans showcase at Mohawk Patio on 3/15 with Brazos, Gardens & Villa, Bear in Heaven, and The War On Drugs. SVE will also play ATP I'll Be Your Mirror in NJ, Newport Folk Fest, and the Dessner-curated fest at BAM in Brooklyn this year View all of her current tour dates below.

National-curated BAM Festival lineup announced (Walkmen, St. Vincent, Beirut, Sharon, Antlers, Zs & many more)
Remember that Dessner brother-curated festival, "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry," which is happening at BAM from May 3-5? And remember how when we posted the National-curated ATP lineup we suggested (for obvious reasons) that it might hint at the BAM lineup? Well, the lineup is out now, and there are definitely some similarities to that, and also not surprisingly, to the ongoing Ecstatic Music Festival which is great at highlighting the growing mix between indie rock and indie classical that the Dessners are huge fans of and participants in.
The three day Brooklyn Academy of Music festival includes The Antlers, My Brightest Diamond (w/ yMusic), Sharon Van Etten, and Buke and Gase who are all playing ATP, in addition to The Walkmen, St. VIncent, Beirut, Atlas Sound, Tyondai Braxton (formerly of Battles), Oneohtrix Point Never, Caveman, Sinkane, Twin Shadow, Jherek Bischoff, Pat Mahoney and Nancy Whang (DFA DJ set), Ava Luna, and others which are all listed below. As mentioned, the fest also includes the Brooklyn Youth Chorus and the NOW Ensemble.
3-Day Festival Passes go on sale Monday (3/5) to friends of BAM and Tuesday (3/6) to the general public. More details and schedule at the Crossing Brooklyn Ferry website.
Full lineup below...

ATP I'll Be Your Mirror NJ -- initial 2012 lineup (Louis CK, Make-Up, Mark Lanegan, Dirty Three, Hot Snakes, Antlers, Roots, more!)
They say:
ATP are very pleased to confirm our return to Asbury Park, New Jersey USA with a new I'll Be Your Mirror event, the Saturday night of which will be headlined by The Afghan Whigs (who have reunited after a 13 year hiatus) and curated by their frontman Greg Dulli. Formed in 1986, the bands career from then until 2001 saw them release six critically acclaimed albums during their career. Fusing classic rock with grunge-era distortion and a heavy soul influence, The Afghan Whigs were one of the most renowned live bands of their time and ATP is excited to be a part of this long awaited reformation.Tickets, which were slightly delayed from original estimates, go on sale Monday at 10am (but are on PRESALE NOW). Initial lineup below...
We are also very excited to present Grammy Award winner LOUIS C.K. (handpicked by Greg Dulli) who will be making a rare festival appearance, the fantastic THE ROOTS, JOSE GONZALEZ, a show from the reformed THE MAKE-UP and many others, see below for full line-up confirmed so far.
After previous years in upstate New York, ATP moved to the iconic Asbury Park waterfront in 2011 for a hugely successful I'll Be Your Mirror event co-curated and headlined by Portishead, and we are very happy to return to this very special location in September. The Convention Hall has seen the likes of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, The Doors and Rolling Stones grace its stage and the Paramount Theatre has welcomed stars such as Tony Bennett who often insists on playing a song with all the electrics turned off to demonstrate the amazing acoustics of the room. Once again the ATP experience will be taking over the boardwalk, with the main shows taking place at the Convention Hall and Paramount Theatre, and other events happening at the Berkeley hotel (former home of Johnny Cash).
As well as the live music line-up of 35+ acts across the weekend, Friday will feature a Comedy stage, and we're very pleased to announce that our friends at The Criterion Collection will return to run the Cinema across the weekend. All three days feature DJs and other activities to be confirmed in the months ahead. Performances take place indoors with great soundsystems, so you have no need to worry about the weather, and Asbury Park is easily accessible via public transport from nearby cities.

You know that moment at the end of a tied basketball game when someone puts up a three at the buzzer and the whole crowd is fixated and breathless? That's basically how the crowd was as Sharon Van Etten took the stage Wednesday night at Mercury Lounge (1/18), silently focused as the band set up, as if waiting for some kind of historic proclamation. Though it provided some initial awkwardness, the crowd loosened up as the set moved on, though never really losing that initial fixation. Clearly, this was an audience already enamored with her and eager to hear new songs, which she provided, running seamlessly through her upcoming Jagjaguwar debut "Tramp," from top to bottom.
Many of these songs were played live for the first time, though clearly the band had nailed down their parts from recording and/or rehearsing. This was no practice run-through. It came across more as a showcase of what they've accomplished. The band seemed totally at ease with the songs, as if they could easily play them drunk and backwards (which may be necessary seeing as they are about to embark on a two month tour with Shearwater and The War On Drugs). They make the most out of what they have, frequently switching off between harmonies, bass, guitar, keys, and organ, never overplaying and tastefully articulating the well-composed parts. In particular, Zeke Hutchins (drums) provided the perfect amount of "power without powering." His style is musical and fits the songs in a way that (unfortunately) is kind of rare these days.
The opening song "Warsaw" initially felt like a departure, hinged on a heavy churning drone, with a keyboard bassline that made the song feel far more electronic than any of her past work. But the following song, "Give Out," quickly recalled the lyrical, emotional power than Van Etten has come to be known for. In fact, it may be the best example of this yet. Now settled in, and blown away, the audience erupted and was fully in the palm of her hand, where they stayed for the duration of the set. The last time I saw a crowd so silent was A.A. Bondy at Bowery Ballroom (who happened to be the house music after the Sharon show. Coinicidence? Yes.) It was one of those shows where people, shockingly, weren't constantly checking their cell phones. As if looking down for a second might cause them to miss an important moment.
After seeing this show, not just musically but in terms of Van Etten's appearance and demeanor, it makes all her work to-date more relevant, or at least puts it in a clearer perspective. Her past songs, and I'm a big fan of them, now seem to be mere skeletons of this new record. They clue the listener in, like signposts on the road to where she currently is artistically: a definite peak, but by no means at her capacity. She was bigger than Mercury Lounge Wednesday night and everyone there knew it. On this new material, Van Etten has a voice that can reel you in like Mazzy Star, but with the songwriting of someone like David Bazan.
Miraculously, not a single person called out requesting any of her old songs. The crowd was more than content getting an intimate preview of what's to come. And if this show was any indication, we can expect big things.
Speaking of big things, Sharon's next THREE NYC SHOWS are at Bowery Ballroom (twice) and Music Hall of Williamsburg. Tickets are now on sale for all three.

DOWNLOAD: Lower Dens - "Brains" (MP3)
The National have announced that they're headlining and curating at ATP in Minehead UK, which is happening from December 7-9, 2012. So far, in addition to The National, the lineup (not very surprisingly) includes Sharon Van Etten (who plays the sold out Mercury Lounge tonight), My Brightest Diamond, Wye Oak, Megafaun, The Antlers, Buke and Gase (FKA Buke and Gass), Lower Dens, Owen Pallett, Boris, Tim Hecker, Kronos Quartet, Suuns< and Dark Dark Dark. More artists TBA. Tickets go on sale Friday (1/20) at 2 PM.
Maybe this lineup will shed some light on the bands Aaron and Bryce Dessner will be choosing when they curate BAM in May.
ATP's NJ festival happens in September and is being curated by Greg Dulli.
Speaking of Lower Dens, they've just revealed plans to release a followup to their 2010 debut LP, Twin-Hand Movement. The new album, titled Nootropics, will be out April 30 via the Domino affiliate label Ribbon Music. Grab the fast paced lead single, "Brains," at the top of this post and stream it below. Also below is the album artwork and tracklist.

Welcome to the Stop SOPA edition of TWII. Do you know how hard it would be to do this column without free knowledge via the internet? It would be riddled with factual errors. More so!
Minneapolis underage upstarts Howler are in town playing a whole bunch of shows. The onslaught began last night with an in-store at Other Music (their album came out yesterday), and continues with: an early show tonight (January 18) with Happy People andTiberius, January 19 at Death By Audio with Grooms andClouder, January 20 at Cameo Gallery with St. Lucia, and January 21 at Pianos with Dear Lions, Cemeteries, and The Everymen.
As mentioned, Howler's debut album came out yesterday and is titled America Give Up which kind of feels like a "just try not to like us" dare. Their sound -- a little Strokes, a little Jesus and Mary Chain, a little West Coast garage -- is indeed easy to like, even if there isn't much "new" about it. But the band have no shortage of hooks and a good dose of hard-to-fake attitude. As previously mentioned, ou can stream the whole thing at NPR.
Most of the hype is coming from the UK press who are still enamored with the Vaccines (with whom Howler's toured). I like Howler better than them and am going to make an effort to catch one of their shows this week. You should too, surely you've got one night free this week?
Fujiya & Miyagi
Also in town this week are Fugiya & Miyagi, playing Glasslands on Thursday (1/19) and Mercury Lounge on Saturday (1/21, sold out). The band have a new single out, "Ecstatic Dancer," that you can download at the top of this post. It's the kind of slinky, glammy stomper you could imagine Goldfrapp doing but with David Best's whispery vocals. No album attached to it as far as I can tell so it seems the single supports the tour, not the other way around as usual.
The band are also on the Power, Corruption & Lies Covered CD that comes with the February issue of MOJO, where the entirety of cover stars New Order's second album is covered by the likes of Destroyer, S.C.U.M. and Errors. Fujiya & Miyagi contribute a fairly wrote version of Side Two opener "Your Silent Face." (Stream it below.) The band are a good time live and are equally adept at both Neu!-style motorik and funky Can rhythms as you may already know. My favorite song is still "Ankle Injuries" but I'm looking forward to seeing them tomorrow.
Thursday's Glasslands show is with Zambri, who really impressed me at Glasslands last month, Rarechild and The Golden Filter on DJ duties. For Saturday's show at Merc, openers are Aimes, Jangulaand Dinowalrus.
Dinowalrus' second album, Best Behavior, is due out March 6 on Old Flame records. If you haven't seen them in a while, the band dropped the dissonance in favor of a sound under the influenced of late '80s Manchester. While that means some danceable tracks, it also means atmospheric rockers like "What Now" which veers closer to The Chameleons or The Sound. You can download it at the top of this post.
Jonathan Wilson
If you're looking for something a little more mellow, man, perhaps you should check out onetime
Eisley bassist (different Jonathan Wilson!) Jonathan Wilson who is here for three shows this week. He's at Mercury Lounge tomorrow (1/19) for an early show and again on Friday (1/20) for a late show with Quilt), and then hits the Rock Shop on Saturday (1/ 21).
Jonathan Wilson's Gentle Spirit made its way onto many Best of 2011 lists, coming in at #4 on MOJO's year end coverage. Pazz n' Jop notsomuch, only three votes, which landed it in a 21-way tie for #372. Mind you, Wilson's music -- which recalls the heyday of early '70s Laurel Canyon -- is prime fodder for a magazine like MOJO that has a Beatle on the cover at least once a year, but Gentle Spirit is a genuinely gorgeous album that exudes a West Coast vibe even in the coldest New York winter. Spotify users can listen to the album here.
This is the only picture on Pre War's Facebook
And finally, for many in New York the phrase "pre war" is code for "not many electric outlets and no sink in the bathroom" but maybe that will change with Pre War the rock band who have dusted themselves off from the recently defunct Conversion Party. Like that band, Pre War traffic in catchy, big-chorused indie rock. Check out "Out There" at the top of this post and you can listen to more at the band's Tumblr.
You can catch Pre War live Thursday (1/19) at Cake Shop where they play with Grand Rapids, Plates of Cake, and Hunny.
That's the big stuff for this week. Day-by-day picks not covered above are below. Fight the power!
Sharon Van Etten is at Mercury Lounge which if you don't have tickets, is sold out. She's got lots more shows coming up, though. Her new album, Tramp, is really good.

Sharon at Music Hall of Williamsburg (more by Jessica Amaya)
First of all, Sharon Van Etten's Green Space show for WNYC is streaming live RIGHT NOW (update: that is over. Keep a look out for the archived footage).
In other news, Sharon, who recently announced a Mercury Lounge show happening on Wednesday (1/18) (which is now sold out), has added another NYC date to her tour. The new show is happening on February 26 at Bowery Ballroom with Carter Tanton and Glass Ghost. The show happens after she plays MHOW on 2/24 and Bowery Ballroom on 2/25 with Shearwater, who plays with her on most of the other tour dates as well. Tickets for the new Bowery show go on sale Wednesday (1/18) at noon and tickets for the other Bowery show and the MHOW show are still available.

Ted, Kurt & Phamacist @ Maxwell's
Ted Leo & The Pharmacists rang in the new year at Maxwell's with not-surprise guest Sharon Van Etten and comedian opener Kurt Braunohler who also opened for Ted and Obits at The Bell House one night earlier. Pictures from the NJ show, where Kurt Braunohler tried to crowd surf again, and possibly got dropped again, are in this post.
Ted played a predictably excellent set and covered 'I Wanna Destroy You' with Sharon Van Etten whose opening set included a new backing band lineup. Doug Keith is still there, but there was a new guy on drums and a new backup singer/keyboard player/additional guitarist lady. When they played "Don't Do It", they did this new thing with looped sorta spooky vocals in the beginning and it was so beautiful. The new songs sound amazing. I can't wait for the album.
Sharon will hit the road for a string of dates in February that include Music Hall of Williamsburg and Bowery Ballroom, and before that she'll make an appearance at the Greene Space. Tickets are still available for that WNYC Soundcheck session, as well as both Bowery and MHoW.

'Buying' a house for mom
My mother recently lost her husband, and subsiquently had to file Chapter 7 and give up her house, and start life over at 52. I convinced her to move from an expensive area in rural IN to an apartment by me in small-town Texas. She is currently in the hospital due to the stress of this situation complicated by a lifelong chronic condition (or rather, the stress complicated her condition and brought on an attack. We thought she was going to die for a minute there) I am trying to make her life as stress free as possible. I'm keeping her dog because she can't have it in the apartment, but it doesn't get along with my dog real well and Mom wants to look at getting a house here after her 6-month lease is up. Rent here is very expensive but buying a house is relatively cheap (go figure). Most people that plan to live here for at least five years buy instead of rent. The mortgage broker said she can't work with Mom for a house for two to three years after the bankruptcy is final. She had excellent credit before all this madness, and is trying to rebuild it even now. In three years she will have good credit again, but I don't think I can keep her doggie that long, and she can't give up this little rescued pooch, it would brake her heart. The mortgage lady said she could work with my credit, and suggested I buy a house as an investment and "rent" it to my mother, and let her buy it from me in three years. I do not have a problem with this as long as the payments are low enough for my husband and I to afford if something happens to Mom and she can't pay anymore.
But my question is, how does this work from the taxes standpoint? Because we have minor children, we still get some of the money we pay in back at tax time. Would Mom's "rent" count as income and put us in a higher tax bracket even though it's not really our house?
I would tend to agree, because basically I did a similar thing once, but I'd run it past an accountant first so you'll know all the ramifications as far as the best way to do it. It could end up being a win/win situation, or not. If I got the go-ahead from that, I'd feel really comfortable doing it.
It's the same thing here. Mortgages are literally cheaper than rent.
Sounds like the 2 of you are close and it's probably the only way I'd do something like that.
Other things to think of, what if something breaks Who fixes it?
Will she be responsible for the upkeep or will you?
Can you trust she'll take care of the house while it's in your name?
Things happen in families all of the time and you probably don't want to even think about worst case scenarios but should. What if her health goes even more and you have to put her back in a care canter?
Sorry that she's had to go through all of this. Hopefully things will start looking up.
I would look for low cost housing, senior housing or asst living based on her income. I don't think you should buy a house and let her rent etc. You have to declare the rent, and you really need to talk to your tax person. If you sell it you might have to pay a capital gains tax.
Her mother is only fifty two, not exactly a candidate for senior housing. Capital gains are not going to be an issue unless the poster is setting out to make PROFIT off her mother. It's about helping a parent who would probably do the very same thing for her child if the situation were reversed. It's about making her as happy as possible and her life as normal as possible, because it is within your power to do so. It's OK to CYA to make sure you don't get burnt, because it can happen in family situations, but if you can't make an exception for a parent in fiscal matters, you can't expect to be treated any differently by your own children when/if the time comes.

What You Can Expect
Your first stop is at a medieval castle, owned by a local winemaking family for some 900 years. Stretch your legs on a stroll, and hear the story of the estate's carefully cultivated vines, and of their attention to detail during the winemaking process. Explore the wine cellars and olive oil press, take photos from the castle tower, and, finally, sample up to three glasses of the estate's different wine varietals as well as two olive oils.
After leaving the castle, relax as you travel through the stunning Chianti countryside to a prestigious cheese producer. Learn about the cheese-making process and taste some delicious locally produced cheese.
Hop back inside your 4x4 minibus and buckle up for an off-road experience, through stretches of Tuscany's ancient woodland and rolling hills, to your next stop: a traditional Tuscan restaurant. Take a seat and treat your taste buds to some of the finest food that Tuscany has to offer; your lunch is sure to be a highlight of the tour! See the Sample Menu below for examples of the dishes.
Feeling refreshed, continue with a visit to Greve-in-Chianti, a quintessential Tuscan town with pretty streets and quaint shops. Make the most of some free time to explore, enjoy a coffee (own expense) or simply soak up the unique Italian culture that abounds. Then, meet back up with your guide to sample cured meat at a butchers shop.
The rest of your afternoon is spent deep in the Chianti hills at a vineyard that produces Chianti Classico wine. In contrast to the well-established winery visited in the morning, this second winery is smaller and less-known, but it has produced two award-winning varietals. Sample these varietals, and learn how innovation and ancient traditions have combined to make them. Finish with a sweet treat, and then relax on the journey back to Florence where your tour ends.
Sample Menu:
First course:
- Crostini misti (slices of toasted bread with various toppings)
Second Course:
- Handmade spaghetti with fresh tomatoes and Pecorino di Fossa (a sheep's cheese aged in caves)
- Mixed grilled meat platter (sausages, spareribs, guinea fowl and chicken) with roast potatoes and garden salad

March 2015
Best tour every. We got so much for the price! We went March 14th and had a 4 person tour. Our guide Alessandro was great and knew so much about the land, the wine, the food, and was willing to answer any questions or curiosities we had about Italy. The castle, restaurant, town, and villa were so beautiful. But the food and wine were exceptional. Truly, I would recommend this tour to anyone. The next time I'm in Florence I'm doing it again!

Modular front end development for the masses. Built on npm and browserify.
cartero is an asset pipeline built on npm and browserify designed to reduce the friction involved in applying modular design principles to front end web development.
cartero allows you to easily organize your front end code into reusable packages containing HTML, JavaScript, css, and images. And since cartero is built on npm, the official node.js package manager, you can easily publish your packages and / or depend on other npm packages in your own code. Depending on a package is as simple as
require( 'pork-and-beans' ). A package might contain assets for
- A calendar widget
- A popup dialog
- A header or footer
- An entire web page
cartero is primarily a build tool, similar to (and based on) browserify, but with consideration for additional asset types, and designed for complete applications, instead of a single entry point. cartero does not introduce many new concepts, and the same modular organizational structure it facilitates could also be achieved by stringing together other build tools and the appropriate
<link>, and
<img> tags. However, cartero is built from the ground up for modularized applications, and eliminates the friction that occurs when using conventional build tools with modular directory structures.
See this article for more info on how cartero compares to other tools, and this tutorial to get started.
The build command
Just one command builds all assets for a multi-page application.
$ cartero ./views ./static/assets
The cartero command bundles up the js and css assets required by each entry point found in
./views and drops them into the output directory at
./static/assets (along with information used at run time by the hook). Adding a
-w flag will run cartero in watch mode so that the output is updated whenever assets are changed. cartero's watch mode is extremely efficient, only rebuilding what is necessary for a given change.
The hook
But the friction involved in modularizing front end code is not limited to build time, especially in multi-page applications. At run time, your application needs to be able to easily figure out where assets are located. For this reason, cartero provides a small (< 100 LOC) runtime library that your server side logic can use to look up asset urls or paths (based on a map output by cartero at build time). At the time of this writing, only a hook for node.js is available, but one can quickly be written for any server side environment.
For example, if a
package.json is provided in
./views/page1, the following call will return the
script and
link tags needed to load its js and css bundles:
hgetParcelTags 'views/page1' // scriptTags and styleTags and strings of <script> and <link> tags, respectively. // attach the tags to the express res.locals so we can // output them in our template to load the page's assets reslocalsscript = scriptTags; reslocalsstyle = styleTags; ;
You can also ask the cartero hook to lookup the url of a specific asset. For example, to find the url of
carnes.png in the
grill package.
hgetAssetUrl pathjoin resolve 'grill' 'carnes.png' reslocalsimgUrl = url; ;
Relying on the hook at run time to find assets, instead of limiting cartero strictly to build time, also provides several others benefits - it enables cartero to implement cache busting through fingerprinting, and to keep css files separate in dev mode without forcing you to modify your view templates.
Packages and parcels
cartero packages are just regular npm packages that include style and / or image assets, enumerated in glob notation (as described in the parcelify docs). For example,
{ "name" : "my-module", "version" : "1.0.2", "main" : "lib/my-module.js", "dependencies" : { ... }, "style" : "*.scss", // styles "image" : [ "icon.png" ] // images}
Packages can be in any location, just like in node.js. The CommonJS
require( 'modules' ) syntax is used to import a module from a package, along with all its css and other assets. The argument to
require is resolved resolved by browserify using the node resolve algorthim.
A parcel is just a package that is an entry point. A parcel generally is used by one or more pages in your application. The collection of assets used by a given page is, after all, a package -- it has its own js and css, may depend on other packages, or may be depended upon. In fact, the parallel is so strong, it is recommend (but not required) that you put your parcels in your
views directory, together with the server side view templates to which they correspond. For example:
├── node_modules│ └── my-module│ ├── index.js│ ├── icon.png│ ├── package.json│ └── style.scss└── views ├── page1 /* parcel */ │ ├── package.json │ ├── page1.jade /* server side template */ │ ├── style.css │ └── index.js └── page2 /* parcel */ ├── package.json ├── style.css ├── page2.jade /* server side template */ └── index.js
$ npm install -g cartero$ cartero <parcelsDir> <outputDir> [options]
cartero command scans
parcelsDir recursively for parcels, i.e. directories that contain
package.json files with valid js entry points (either
index.js or the
main property in
package.json). It runs parcelify on the entry point of each parcel, saving all the parcel's assets as well as those of its dependencies in the
outputDir. (Note
node_modules directories nested within the
parcelsDir are not scanned.)
At run time, the HTML tags needed to load a parcel's js and css bundles, as well as its other assets, can be found using the cartero hook's
getParcelTags and
getParcelAssets methods. The cartero express middleware can be used for an added level of convenience.
Command line options
Package specific (local) transforms
The safest and most portable way to apply transforms to a package (like Sass -> css or CoffeeScript -> js) is using the
transforms key in a package's package.json. The key should be an array of names or file paths of transform modules. For example,
{ "name": "my-module", "description": "Example module.", "version": "1.5.0", "style" : "*.scss", "transforms" : [ "sass-css-stream" ], "dependencies" : { "sass-css-stream": "~0.0.1" }}
All transform modules are called on all assets (including JavaScript files). It is up to the transform module to determine whether or not it should apply itself to a file (usually based on the file extension).
Application level transforms
You can apply transforms to all all packages in your
parcelsDir using the
-t command line argument. (
node_modules directories inside the parcelsDir will not be effected.) You can also apply your application transforms to additional directories using the
transformDir command line argument.)
$ cartero views static/assets -t "sass-css-stream"
Built-in transforms
There are two built-in transforms that cartero automatically applies to all packages.
The relative to absolute path transform (style assets only)
Cartero automatically applies a transform to your style assets that replaces relative urls with absolute urls (after any local / default transforms are applied). This transform makes relative urls work even after css files are concatenated into bundles. For example, the following url reference in a third party module will work even after concatenation:
The ##asset_url() transform (to resolve asset urls)
At times it is necessary to resolve the url of an asset at build time, for example in order to reference an image in one package from another. For this reason, cartero applies a special transform to all assets that replaces expressions of the form
##asset_url( path ) with the url of the asset at
path (after any local / default transforms are applied). The path is resolved to a file using the node resolve algorithm and then mapped to the url that file will have once in the cartero output directory. For instance, in
myModule = require 'my-module' ; $ 'img.my-module' attr 'src' '##asset_url( "my-module/icon.png" )' ;
The same resolution algorithm can be employed at run time (on the server side) via the cartero hook.
c = cartero( parcelsDirPath, outputDir, [options] )
parcelsDirPath is the path of the your parcels directory, which is generally the views directory of your applcation.
outputDir is the path of the directory into which all of your processed assets will be dropped (along with some meta data). It should be a directory that is exposed to the public so assets can be loaded using script / link tags (e.g. the
static directory in express applications). Options are as follows:
assetTypes(default: [ 'style', 'image' ]) - The keys in package.json files that enumerate assets that should be copied to the cartero output directory.
assetTypesToConcatenate(default: [ 'style' ]) - A subset of
assetTypesthat should be concatenated into bundles. Note JavaScript files are special cased and are always both included and bundled.
outputDirUrl(default: '/') - The base url of the output directory.
appTransforms(default: undefined) - An array of transform modules names / paths or functions to be applied to all packages in directories in the
appTransformDirs(default: [ parcelsDir ]) -
appTransformsare applied to any packages that are within one of the directories in this array. (The recursive search is stopped on
packageTransform(default: undefined) - A function that transforms package.json files before they are used. The function should be of the signature
function( pkgJson, pkgPath )and return the parsed, transformed package object. This feature can be used to add default values to package.json files or alter the package.json of third party modules without modifying them directly.
sourceMaps(default: false) - Enable js source maps (passed through to browserify).
watch(default: false) - Reprocess assets and bundles (and meta data) when things change.
postProcessors(default: []) - An array of post-procesor functions or module names / paths. Post-processors should have the same signature as transform modules.
A cartero object is returned, which is an event emitter.
c.on( 'done', function(){} );
Called when all assets and meta data has been written to the destination directory.
c.on( 'error', function( err ){} );
Called when an error occurs.
c.on( 'browserifyInstanceCreated', function( browserifyInstance, mainPath ) );
Called when a browserify / watchify instance is created,
mainPath is the absolute path to the entry point of the parcel to which the instance corresponds.
c.on( 'fileWritten', function( path, assetType, isBundle, watchModeUpdate ){} );
Called when an asset or bundle has been written to disk.
watchModeUpdate is true iff the write is a result of a change in watch mode.
c.on( 'packageCreated', function( package, isMain ){} );
Called when a new parcelify package is created.
Q: What is the best way to handle client side templates?
You can include client side templates in your packages by adding
template to the
assetTypes options and using a
template key in your package.json files that behaves in the exact same was a the style key. The
assets.json file for a parcel (and the data returned by the cartero hook) will then contain an entry for templates required by that parcel, just like the one for styles, which you can inject into the view's HTML. However, if you plan to share your packages we recommend against this practice as it makes your packages difficult to consume. Instead we recommend using a browserify transform like nunjucksify or node-hbsfy to precompile templates and
Q: What does cartero write to the output directory?
You generally don't need to know the anatomy of cartero's output directory, since the cartero hook serves as a wrapper for the information / assets in contains, but here is the lay of the land for the curious. Note the internals of the output directory are not part of the public API and may be subject to change.
├── static│ └── assets /* output directory */│ ├── 66e20e747e10ccdb653dadd2f6bf05ba01df792b /* parcel directory */│ │ ├── assets.json│ │ ├── page1_bundle_14d030e0e64ea9a1fced71e9da118cb29caa6676.js│ │ └── page1_bundle_da3d062d2f431a76824e044a5f153520dad4c697.css│ ├── 880d74a4a4bec129ed8a80ca1f717fde25ce3932 /* parcel directory */│ │ ├── assets.json│ │ ├── page2_bundle_182694e4a327db0056cfead31f2396287b7d4544.css│ │ └── page2_bundle_5066f9594b8be17fd6360e23df52ffe750206020.js│ ├── 9d82ba90fa7a400360054671ea26bfc03a7338bf /* package directory */│ │ └── robot.png│ └── metaData.json
- Each subdirectory in the output directory
- corresponds to a particular package (or parcel),
- is named using that package's unique id,
- contains all the assets specific to that package, and
- has the same directory structure as the original package.
- Parcel directories also contain an
assets.jsonfile, which enumerates the assets used by the parcel.
- The
metaData.jsonfile maps absolute package paths to package ids.
Q: Is it safe to let browsers cache asset bundles?
Yes. The name of asset bundles generated by cartero includes an shasum of their contents. When the contents of one of the files changes, its name will be updated, which will cause browsers to request a new copy of the content. (The Rails Asset Pipeline implements the same cache busting technique.)
Q: Will relative urls in css files break when cartero bundles them into one file?
Well, they would break, but cartero automatically applies a tranform to all your style assets that replaces relative urls with absolute urls, calculated using the
outputDirUrl option. So no, they won't break.

You Are What You Read. What Does Your Bookshelf Contain?

5 Things Freelancing Taught Me
