Friday night marked my third time seeing The New Pornographers, and as I've come to expect, they totally rocked the house. After a fantastic set by Immaculate Machine and a really solid set by Emma Pollock (whose album, , has been on pretty frequent rotation on my work computer), they took the stage, ready to perform to a sold-out crowd at The Trocadero.

The Dolce Suono Trio devotes an entire concert to Philadelphia composers, including Ned Rorem, George Crumb, Charles Abramovic, and Curt Cacioppo.

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you.

There are songs that just capture you, and you can’t resist finishing. Whatever the preoccupations of the moment - whether it’s that insatiable ear searching for new music, or something you hear on the Internet on the way to something else – there are songs that are too engaging to allow for any interruption. This was precisely the case when we first heard the title track “23,” by Blonde Redhead. When trying to describe the...

We love when we get the opportunity to see a ton of bands in one shot. We love it even more when a couple of the bands are old favorites of ours and others are bands we've never heard of, because it gives us the chance to check out some new music, and if we don't like what we hear, we can always go back to the stuff we know and be completely satisfied. That's why we're pumped up for tomorrow's Vans Warped Tour at the Tweeter Center.

Tonight, Rooney is opening for Fergie's Verizon Wireless VIP Tour at the Electric Factory. Unfortunately you can't buy tickets to this show, but you can actually WIN tickets at various places around town. We've never heard of an artist doing an all-promotional concert. Interesting. Fergie must be getting paid pretty good from Verizon to promote the hell out of their products. We found out through a Fergie's MySpace bulletin that you can get tickets....

The Philadelphia Art Alliance's New Music Mondays series presents works by Jan Krzywicki, Professor of Composition at Temple University.

, respectively. If you plan your week well enough, you'll get a chance to see both schools' rising stars in action.

Tonight, Theatre of the Living Arts presents Butch Walker and the Let's Go Out Tonites with The Honorary Title and Rocket starting at 9PM. We're very excited for The Honorary Title's performance because they're debuting some new tracks off of their upcoming CD, Scream and Light up the Sky, which is due out in June. Earlier this week, we had the opportunity to interview Jarrod Gorbel, the lead singer of The Honorary Title. He talked...

As part of the Philadelphia Art Alliance's New Music Mondays, award-winning composer Michael Hersch comes to town to discuss his compositions and for the Philadelphia premieres of his Sonatas Nos. 1 & 2 for Unaccompanied Cello, performed by cellist Daniel Gaisford.

After our interview with Aqualung, we were sure that the live concert couldn't be better than his new CD Memory Man, which is being released today. It was, but in a different way than expected. The ingenuity and creative aspect of his CD is truly incredible. You can tell that he as a gift with music and sounds. Aqualung has definitely reinvented rock music for a new generation.

Happy birthday Bach! Well, it's a little early (3/21/1685 was his actual birthday), but Philly likes to kick things off a little early. We've included a bit of the Bach fun below, but you can find a full list of the Bach Festival of Philadelphia events here.

Spring break strikes the city of Philadelphia this week. Not to worry, the failsafe Philadelphia Chamber Music Society and the Kimmel Center have a few tricks up their sleeves.

I have a crush… on a song. This is actually a common occurrence in my life. I love music. I have music playing at all times. I cannot be in my apartment without it on. I can’t drive without music (or be driven somewhere without it). Even when I hate the CD we have to listen to at work, I want it on. This need, coupled with my innate neuroses, means that I often find songs I just can’t stop listening to.

Choral season is upon us! With both Choral Arts Society and Singing City opening on the same night, it's a tough call. You'll just have to read the descriptions and decide for yourself.

Well, we were going to tell you about Dracula's Ball, the regular Goth event that happens to occur on Hallowe'en every year (what a coincidence!), but then we had a bright idea: Why do all the work when we can have someone else tell you all about it? So we traded some emails with promoter Patrick Rodgers of Dancing Ferret, and he graciously agreed to answer some spoooooky questions.
