Clash of the Titans

Cymbals Eat Guitars

Eat or Be Eaten: New York City’s Cymbals Eat Guitars are living up to their anointed status. The brave new world of do-it-yourself indie music notwithstanding, the music industry is still very much eat or be eaten. Oh, the eaters may be different ... http://bit.ly/aj2Rev

Greenberg

Mid-Life Crassness: Be glad Noah Baumbach's Greenberg isn't real. If you are someone who goes to the movies to spend time with characters you’d actually like to spend time with in real life, you probably don’t go to Noah Baumbach movies ... http://bit.ly/cJX4rF

The Moondoggies
