Indiephemera Friday, vol. 25: Things we LIKE
Posted by: L.V. Lopez on: October 1, 2010
The biggest pop-cultural news this week is the release of the new David Fincher film The Social Network, the story of some douche who made $4 billion. The film (which the FP will be catching this evening) reportedly shines a rather dismal light on its protagonist. Nonetheless, Herr Zuckerberg has brought the world some truly [...]

Posted by: L.V. Lopez on: September 24, 2010
Lots of content today (Ra Ra Riot concert review this morning, Mixologist on the way), so we’ll spare your eyes the wisdom of our wickedly witty prose and go straight to the music: *As discussed in last week’s Fall Preview, there is a shitload of music coming out over the next couple of weeks. Two [...]
Indiephemera Friday, vol. 23: Fall Music Preview
Posted by: L.V. Lopez on: September 17, 2010
Last Sunday, the New York Times rolled out its Fall Arts Preview. What’s up New York Times? You think you’re better than us? What does Thomas Friedman have that we don’t have? If the New York Times thinks that we’re going to back down just because they have 1.5 million daily readers and we…don’t…well, then [...]

The week after Labor Day meant back to work, back to school, back to life, back to reality. Fortunately, some of our favorite artists released new songs that helped us bid goodbye to summer and say hello to fall, a season of new dresses and hot messes. Kanye West, Devil in a New Dress Don’t [...]
Indiephemera Friday, vol. 21 – Going Down Edition
Posted by: Keith Meatto on: September 3, 2010
As we discovered this week, there’s more than one way to go down. Watch Listen Love. (No commas) *Vampire Weekend is now covering Bruce Springsteen’s classic “I’m Going Down” from Born in the U.S.A. All the way to the Garden State! Maybe we will see VW next time at the Jersey Shore, whence we sent [...]
Indiephemera Friday, vol. 20 – Appropriation Edition
Posted by: Keith Meatto on: August 27, 2010
Good musicians borrow. Great musicians steal. First, Sufjan Stevens appropriates Simon and Garfunkel’s “Sounds of Silence” on his new EP, All Delighted People, which we reviewed on Monday. Now Stevens has announced his forthcoming album The Age of Adz, which appropriates the art and ideas of the late Royal Robertson, a Louisiana artist whose work [...]

Indiephemera Friday, vol. 17: FP Goes Global, Rocks Local
Posted by: Keith Meatto on: August 6, 2010
What a week! Not only did we see three great shows (Arcade Fire, Dead Weather, and Fela! on Broadway) but on Tuesday we were honored and stunned when our column Ask A (Frontier) Psychiatrist made the home page of Word Press, i.e. the #19 most popular site in the world. To our new friends and [...]
Indiephemera Friday, vol. 16: Good Ass Week
Posted by: Keith Meatto on: July 30, 2010
In case you missed the news, here’s the short version: Kanye West rapped acapella this week at the Facebook offices, performing songs from his forthcoming album which will now not be called Good Ass Job. Before he sang, Kanyeze stood on a table, told his corporate claque to turn off their phones, and reassured them [...]
