Luna
Frontman Dean Wareham resurrected Boston-based Luna last year—the band formed after the 1991 breakup of his seminal dreampop outfit Galaxie 500—for its first proper tour in nearly a decade. Even after all the time apart, the crew remains as well-oiled...

Balance and Composure
Formed from the ashes of Erection Kids (you don't get to say that often), Pennsylvania postpunkers Balance and Composure play emo-informed, shoegazey material that never veers too far from its mainstream tendencies to break out of the "alt-rock" label....

Regina Spektor
Thanks to the ascent of ladies such as Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Bareilles and Christina Perri, the female quirk-pop field is a lot more crowded now than it was when Regina Spektor broke through with “Fidelity,” her oft-licensed semihit, in 2006. Yet one...

Slothrust
Punk’s not dead, and with Brooklyn trio Slothrust, it just got a lot more fun. On their 2014 Ba Da Bing debut, Of Course You Do, the three jazz musicians celebrated loudness with furiously danceable tracks (and the odd love song) that inhabit a realm...

Excuse me, but the "glory days" of New York record stores was not Tower Records. It was: Sam Goody, King Karol, Record Hunter, the fab record buyer at the Doubleday's bookstore on 5th Ave. and 57th Street - and, of course, Colony. Period.
If I could open my own record store, it would be exactly like Rough Trade. Great selection of records, friendly/funny staff, they have art and music books on the second floor along with a ping pong table and area to hang out. There's also a little coffee shop inside and a music venue in the back. They have great shows here, artist signings and special events. Sometimes I stop by just to hang out. if you are into record collecting or music at all, you need to stop by!
