CONFESSIONS OF A CMJ VIRGIN: Day 3, Featuring a Dilemma and a Solution
Good decision-making can lead to excellent life opportunities (and sometimes free beer). Last night, The CMJ Virgin had an important decision to make. And having been denied entry to several shows the night prior, he found himself conflicted about how to proceed for the evening. The options were plentiful: He considered catching The Muslims at […]
A STAR IS BORN: s/t Managing Editor Arye Dworken debuts on MTV2’s Subterranean
self-titled Managing Editor Arye Dworken is a damn handsome man. Last night he had his small-screen debut on MTV2’s Subterranean with an interview of Brooklyn duo Matt & Kim. Arye asked the tough questions and looked like a regular John Norris. (Too bad they spelled his name wrong…oopies!) However, we only have one question for you, Arye: […]
CONFESSIONS OF A CMJ VIRGIN: Day 4, Featuring Late of the Pier, James Lavelle, Soulwax and Pete Tong
Part of the weekend never dies. In all fairness, Ms. CMJ Virgin has gotten a shit deal this week. Typically, her concert-going relies upon +1 guest-list spots, which our dear ol’ Mr. Virgin is always happy to provide. But the admit-one-only CMJ badge (a useless tool if ever there was one) has nixed any prospects […]

Best. Night. Ever. It’s after 11 on Sunday evening, just 10 hours since The CMJ Virgin opened one eye at a time and hesitantly removed himself from beneath the covers of his bed. A little less than 24 hours since Jay Reatard rocked his face off at the self-titled/R5 CMJ bash. A solid day since Amazing […]

TIVO THAT SH*T: S/T’s Art Director Makes Subtle ‘Gossip Girl’ Appearance Tonight at 8!
So our art director, Garrett Morin, shared this little tidbit about the magic of TV earlier today: When Gossip Girl introduces Serena’s new main squeeze tonight at 8–the ‘Brooklyn artist,’ Aaron Rose–you’ll be watching the carefully-sculpted handiwork of Garrett and Radio Silence co-author Nathan Nedorostek, who helmed Rose’s faux ‘process work’ project. Anyway, be sure […]
S/T Survived … The Clusterfuck That Is Justice’s VIP Area
Um, isn’t it a school night? Text/Photos by Andrew Parks While it’s easy to accuse Justice of pandering to the lowest common lunkhead denominator (another bro-down set of serrated synth lines, climaxing in “We Are Your Friends” and “D.A.N.C.E.”? really?), such joyless cynicism–something we’ve been guilty of in the past, admittedly–completely misses the point.
