Had the amazing opportunity last night to attend the very brief reunion of one of my favorite all-time bands, Jawbox.

Warp recording artist and techno/electro wunderkind Jimmy Edgar will headline the night with support from recent BK transplant Eliot Lipp and Boston's Matters & Dunaway, who will be playing the party for the third straight year. Maniacs!

Our friend Doug, aka DJ Shakeyface, is doing his monthly Rock the Beat party this Friday.

Back in the early days of Scissorkick, we posted a short video showing the guitar/beatbox/singing exploits of our friend Mike B, The Invisible Man.

Last Wednesday, at Webster Hall, The Cinematic Orchestra added to their reputation as consummate performers with another flawless set of new and old tunes, expertly executed and passionately played.

I am thrilled to announce the second installment of what I hope continues an annual celebration of 21st century music: Scissorsound. Last year, we packed our favorite Brooklyn spot, Studio BPM, as Kudu, 33Hz and Matters & Dunaway absolutely killed it on stage

For music lovers, we often can pinpoint a particular person or moment that set off the chain of events leading to obsession. One such point in my life was a semester overseas in '96 to London, where I met some equally insane maniacs who also loved weed, beer and music as much as I.

The same spot, the same ugly faces behind the deck, and the same eclectic mix of old, new and unreleased tunes.

Alright, so it's taken a while to get back to reality, and although I said I'd post about the Touch & Go 25th Anniversary all week, I think I will condense it to 3 days, since the event itself was held over 3 unforgettable days.

I am currently still in Chicago until Wednesday and am probably too giddy over what transpired over the last 3 days to objectively report on The Touch & Go Records 25th Anniversary Party that just went down.
