On September 21st, Cut Copy played the first of two nights at Webster Hall. The electro-pop Aussie band played an entire set and the dancing never stopped, especially because the Presets opened for them. I had never seen Webster Hall like this before, the energy in the crowd was the same as on stage, absolutely electric. Photos after the Jump.

East Village Opera Company have a new album called Olde School, available in stores now. They'll perform "Walk" and "King of the Night".

Last night Okkervil River played Webster Hall, the second of their two night stay there. This is the first time I've seen them in over a year, and they've released "the Stage Names" album since. On stage Will Sheff gave it his all, like usual. I thought the setlist was a little slow, but good none the less. I absolutely loved how they opened the show, changing "The President's Dead" and then going into "Black." Incredible. The rest of the set is after the jump.

English singer, songwriter and guitarist Dave Mason performed his new song "Good 2 U" and his classic "We Just Disagree" for us in our studio. Famss will remember him from rock band Traffic.

Mason's new album 26 Letters 12 Notes is available in stores now.

His singles include "Let It Go, Let It Flow," "Will You Stil Love Me Tomorrow?," "Every Woman," and "Show Me Some Affection."

Well kids, I'm back from a crazy lil' weekend in New Orleans, the site of the annual Voodoofest. In it's tenth year the three-day festival hosted some of the biggest acts in music, that ranged from chart toppers Lil' Wayne and Panic At The Disco to alternative giants Stone Temple Pilots and Nine Inch Nails.

With a historical election looming, talking politics became the ongoing theme for just about every act that hit the stage. Read how Voodoo artists got their politics on after the jump.

A long, long time ago in suburbia, I played in a rock band. After a few rehearsals to experiment with our “sound,” we decided it was time to put on a show. I sent out the e-vites complete with directions to my house, and a good 15 people showed up for the free booze. We played and we danced and we all enjoyed ourselves. My living room became the stage to the first show of our short history.

Women perform at the CMJ Music Marathon in New York City. (William Wei, WPIX / October 22, 2008)

Last week, I went to see a handful of the 1,100 plus bands playing the CMJ Music Marathon, and it made me reflect on my youthful dream of being a rockstar. The first show I went to see featured up and coming Swedish singer Lykke Li at the Bowery Ballroom. I’ve only heard good things about her music and that’s how it remains since her crowd was at full capacity. Those who bought venue tickets could waltz in, but some of those who paid up to $495 for a CMJ Badge were relegated to a line that barely moved (luckily I received my badge for free).
