Good eats in NYC
I was cleaning out my wallet earlier and found a card for Focacceria, a really great Italian bistro that I visited on more than a few occasions this summer.
It’s located in the Village, just past the corner of MacDougal and Bleecker (87 MacDougal Street). If you’re in the city then do yourself a favor and check it out. I promise that you will not leave hungry and that you will not have to...

Cold War Kids do 'Entourage'
I was watching last night’s episode of Entourage and was more than pleasantly surprised to hear Something Is Not Right With Me - Cold War Kids’ lead single off their newest LP, “Loyalty To Loyalty” - during the closing credits.
I have yet to hear the new album in it’s entirety, although I’ve been reading some less than stellar reviews. Either way, the single is great. If you like it, then I...

The song was produced by Mark...

Happy belated Bill Murray; a shout-out to Wes...
I was killing time earlier today when I saw somewhere that it was Bill Murray’s birthday a few days ago. Happy belated birthday Bill.
Here are a few of the best movies of all time according to me - all of which star Bill Murray and are written/directed by Wes Anderson (who will receive his own birthday wishes in good time).
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissous - trailer here The Royal...

New Kings of Leon (cannot get enough of...)
Although fans have undoubtedly already heard the record by now, Kings of Leon officially released their fourth LP today, “Only By The Night”.
I think it’s safe to say that this band won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. The sound on the new record can only be described as BIGGER. It’s KOL for the masses - anthemic choruses that are sure to take them from auditorium and club venues to the...
