Posted in Redbull and Adderall on April 11th, 2008 by Ultragrrrl

BrookylnVegan has some good news for Duffy fans: You can buy tickets for Duffy’s show at the Apollo Theater via a pre-sale. Go to BrooklynVegan for more info.

I FUCKING LOVE THE TING TINGS!!!!! Here’s a remix of “That’s Not My Name.” Yeah!!!!! If I was in a band I’d either be in the Duke Spirit or The Ting Tings. You can get a Ting Tings widget here.

Got it hard for Death Cab for Cutie? MTV.com is premiering the new DCFC video starting now, and you’ll be able to stream the video on deathcabforcutie.com and on April 15 you can buy the video for “I Will Possess Your Heart” on iTunes.

Stereogum shares the name of the new Coldplay album, which happens to be the very long: Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends. What are some other lengthy named album titles you can think of? Please share in the comments.

A new chip is coming out that will let you store 500,000 songs on your iPod. This almost seems too good to be true!.

New Say Anything video for “Shiksa” is up on Myspace. I have the biggest crush on Max Bemis.

Redbull & Adderall: Your Afternoon Pick-Me-Up

Bob Dylan aka Robert Zimmerman, has won rock’s first Pulitzer! He’s kinda getting a bit of the Jewish grandmother face, dont you think?

Have you entered to win tickets to Coachella yet? No? You’re a stupid idiot because you can win a free pair of 3-day passes just for signing up for this site by clicking here. Did we forget to mention that PRINCE HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN ADDED TO THE ROSTER?

Junk-Mag.com has an accidental photoshoot taken inside the exact room where Sid killed Nancy. There’s a couple NSFW shots in there, but mostly just great photos.

Stereogum has a premier of the new Annuals video. Holy animation, Batman!

The Queen Is Dead is basically the best album ever created… in my opinion. In many opinions. And lucky for all of us, there’s going to be this amazing DVD about the album released on June 10. Pitchfork has the details. Get stoked.

Just in case you read my rant about loving Jason Castro in my live review from yesterday, you can watch his performance right here. Oh God, I love him so much it hurts.

Afrojack’s has a clip of Santana live at MSG from last night. Pretty fun. But not as fun as all the two-faced babies on his site… and no, I don’t mean that they’re backstabbers, I just mean that they’re two faced.

BaebleMusic takes you onstage, back stage, and all over with one of my other new favorite bands, the Veils. God, I love them.

Love Duffy as much as we (I) do? Seems like the people over at BestWeekEver.tv do too. Check it out.

HOLY MOSES! The Lollapalooza line-up has finally been announced. I am having a hard time picking out the names of those I’m most excited to see, which is obviously an amazing thing. But here goes a shot: Radiohead, Rage Aganst the Machine, Wilco, Nine Inch Nails, the Ting Tings, InnerPartySystem, CSS, Brand New, Duffy, the Postelles, MGMT, Nicole Atkins & The Sea, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, Uffie, and many, many, many more. Who wants to house us in Chicago?

Neil Diamond previews songs from his new album on Amazon.com

It’s hard not to fucking love Haley from Paramore. She’s 10 years our junior and we still want to be her! Over at Buzznet, they have fan coverage of Bamboozle left including a recap about our favorite lil redhead joining New Found Glory on stage. Really, we’d just like to see her on stage with Cyndi Lauper, but what can you do?

Audiography has a fun rundown of the history of UK Punk from the late 70s.

BestWeekEver.TV has 10 photos to remmeber Charlton Heston by.

BrooklynVegan has news about a secret Deerhunter show.

LargeHeartedBoy has this week’s interesting CD releases.

In honor of Billie Holiday’s birthday, TheFrisky The Frisky compiled a playlist of some of the best covers of songs either written by or famously performed by her.

Cooking with Rockstars has an interview with the adorable Annie Clark from St. Vincent.

Duffy, Hiro Ballroom, NYC. Nightmare of You, Ash, Music Hall of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. 3/18/08.

Posted in Hiro Ballroom, Live Shows, Music Hall of Williamsburg on March 18th, 2008 by Ultragrrrl

A year or two ago I saw Lily Allen get on stage at the Hiro Ballroom for her first ever New York City performance. How I got those tickets is beyond me, but I was there! It was like her coronation into our American hearts, and her debutant ball all in one. Last night’s Duffy performance wasn’t much different.

The teeny tiny 19-year-old soulful singer took the stage like a woman twice her stature and twice her age. Confidence spewing out and looking like she walked out of a photoshoot from the 60s (or at least a photoshoot doubling as Broadway’s Kristin Chenoweth). She should be called Duffy Springfield.
