No Doubt Contest Entry! from Scott P. on Vimeo.
As many of you know. I have always claimed to be the biggest No Doubt fan. Just hearing the name Gwen Stefani makes me turn my head..when Don’t Speak comes on at parties, I’m the first drunken fool to be on the table belting it out. I [...]

Last weekend was a swirl in my memory. I’m still not sure what happened, but one random event led to another, and all I know is I’m still alive.
It all started when I woke up to a text message from my boss in Rochester that said “Can you drive Sam Roberts around today?” The first [...]

okay, here’s some new music that will rock your world.
First and foremost, the delectable Swedish singer/songwriter Jenny Wilson has an album coming out in Europe this February called Hardships and the first single off of it is called “The Wooden Chair” here’s a link to her myspace:

Secondly, you know that redhead that all of us [...]

So this wonderful vacation consisting of  me not leaving my bed has come to an end. I must start applying myself again, you know- not sleeping all day, being astute, making social interactions, not staying up until 3 and driving around like a crazy man in my pajamas when I can’t sleep, etc.
Today I went [...]

Albums. (Keep in mind I have a huge soft spot for my all-time favorites, and ladies singers)
1. The Kills – Midnight Boom 
Let’s get real here. OF COURSE my album of the year was going to be the kills- it’s the only album that came out this year where I don’t have to push skip, unless [...]

It’s that time of the year. After combing through my top played songs on iTunes, analyzing what I’ll be listening to years form now, or what was just too memorable not to mention. Here it is, Scott’s top 15 songs of 2008…and yes, Britney IS on it..
The Top 15 Songs of 2008:
15. …And We Became [...]

Holy Hell.
It’s not often that I can’t remember most of a concert because my mind was in another place (no, not due to drugs or other substances) but due to the simple fact that the stage presence was disgustingly hyptnotizing. Last week I saw the hauntingly rocking Kills here in London; a gig I’ve definetly been [...]

Coming to London I was a bit skeptical about the music scene, coming from places like Ithaca, Rochester, and even the city, where each scene is so different and vibrant. In my mind I figured it would just be generic big city garage rock shit spewing from venues all over. Holy hell was I wrong, [...]

Goldfrapp, oh be still my heart.
last night I went to the beautiful Brixton Academy to see the wonderful band fronted by Alison Goldfrapp. I went in with no expectations, as to be honest, I was in an awful mood. At 9 o’clock Alison’s backing band took the stage, all 8 of them, yes that’s right,  it’s [...]

It’s rare that I call a concert the best show of my life. Real rare. But last Sunday it happened.  Close your eyes and imagine this: A completely dark stage except for a strange huge circular cut out in the middle of an empty stage. Behind this strange circle is a giant orange light so [...]

Last Friday I saw Jenny Lewis spill her bluesy splendor all over London at Koko. Adorning her best “western chic” outfit, the gingered Rilo Kiley singer came out with a full band, including her beau Jonathan Rice to a sold out audience. Starting with the gospel fused “Jack Killed Mom” I knew it would be [...]

So, anyone who knows me knows that for the past 6 months I have been OBSESSED with the Swedish wonder, Lykke Li. You may have heard her in the new Victoria’s Secret commercial, or maybe on one of those hip shows like Grey’s Anatomy, I don’t know; but if you haven’t you MUST check her [...]

Monday night I saw the fabulous Shara Worden (otherwise known as My Brightest Diamond) play at London’s Soho Theatre. It was a very special night indeed, as not only was it the first night of the band’s world tour, but also, Shara was accompanied by a string trio. The theatre itself was a tiny blackbox [...]

Last night I painted the town red and danced with Trannys. Jealous? more to come soon..
in the meantime, can we all talk about how fantastic Jenny Lewis’s new album is. Go do yourself a favor and listen to “Godspeed”. The whole album is up for streaming on her myspace: [...]
