Mollie from Ponytail, not too sure about that guy's "pants"... Day photos by Devon Banks If you're still tired from a concert that happened four days ago, is that a testament to the quality of the day or to the deterioration of your body in general? I'm inclined to say both. But my creeping decrepitude aside, 36 bands in 14 hours would take a toll on anyone. OK, so that's how many bands...

Deerhunter, live @ Market Hotel, Bushwick 04.11.08 (Merry Swankster)

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 17:16:09 GMT

photos by Devon Banks Last Saturday, Deerhunter played a hastily announced but hardly secret show at Bushwick, Brooklyn's loft venue the Market Hotel. The occasion was a more newsworthy than usual first public airing of the songs that will make up the band's third record Microcastle , which has no release date as of yet but is expected later this year. I gave a full accounting of my...

Still Glowing Lightly From Inside Closed Lids... (Merry Swankster)

Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:30:22 GMT

photos by Devon Banks So I officially have some sort of a mental block when it comes to neatly wrapping up the concerts D and I book. It has been one month exactly since the last Neon Lights Presents... night in Brooklyn, and here comes the wrap up just now limping across the finish line. Perhaps it's the sedating blush of an event completed or the psychological reluctance to move beyond...

The Lane in March (dovegreyreader scribbles)

Sat, 15 Mar 2008 00:15:00 GMT

I'm sure I've told you before that we live about a mile along a very narrow single track Devon lane. Mostly barely the width of the car and with grass growing up the middle and Devon banks either side, it's...

Be Your Own Pet, Live @ the Mercury Lounge, New York City 2.20.08 (Merry Swankster)

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 00:23:51 GMT

photos by Devon Banks A week of Neon Lights prep and a subsequent week of deathly illness has pushed a couple live reviews I'd intended on posting into the regrettably tardy column. I'll try to wrap 'em up quick... I brace myself for cries of "hypocrite!" from the gallery as I write. After seeing how much vitriol came out of the woodwork in response to my slight denigration of teenage...

Maybe Will Arnett should run NBC after all (Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch)

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 20:41:01 GMT

On Conan last night, funnyman and one-time illusionist Will Arnett was raving about one of his current favorite shows, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. Then, somewhat channeling his 30 Rock character Devon Banks (if Devon Banks, pictured at right, was...

No Age/ High Places/ Rings/ Skint @ Market Hotel, Bushwick, Bklyn 02.11.08 (Merry Swankster)

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 02:07:44 GMT

photos by Devon Banks and myself. The first thing you notice about freedom from corporate oppression is that it reeks of cigarettes. Upon entering the unmarked door of Bushwick’s new D.I.Y. venue Market Hotel, the combined scent of several hundred righteously lit smokes offered immediate welcome. The smell had to be tolerated due to the warmth that came with it, like begrudgingly accepting...
