MIXTAPE | Beneath The Paving Stones, There Are...
Beneath The Paving Stones, There Are Only Other, Older Paving Stones I’ve been sad and lonely. I’ve been unemployed (again) with too much time on my hands. I’ve been listening A LOT to Kaleidoscoptics’ “Beneath The Paving Stones, The Beach!” mixtape, which is available here if you’ve never listened to it. This mixtape is the sequel, only filmed by a...

MIXTAPE | Vivisections of Bushwick Romances |...
I found myself living in Bushwick, single in the summer. (Now I’m in a complicated relationship which is proving its complicated status simply in its interactions with the outside world). I, as I always manage, was (and am) having adventures. Mostly adventures that involved chasing boys.
In the mixtape I attempt to capture the highs, the lows, hit the walls and work the middle of my...

NYC Artists on the rise: Electric Child, live at... →
We got familiar with Alison Clancy through her Huff This! project, which made it in the list of our Best of NYC Emerging Artists Poll 2010. Electric Child is another project featuring this intriguing NYC based singer/songwriter/dancer - here’s a review of the song “Airshow”. It starts with an insistent beeping, the kind you would hear on a heart monitor or some other piece of...

Duchess Leo releases Golden Gray CD →
Imagine a symphony orchestra that just took a couple hits of windowpane. The drummers start trying to kill invisible dragonflies and the strings begin to melt into themselves. Someone somewhere starts to sing…and the group pulls themselves together into a cohesive machine of beat and vibrato. First impressions matter, and Duchess Leo makes it work with their opening track, “Your...

It's Recommendation Time!
So soon enough I will have a nifty “recommend me!” banner that will convey the awesomeness that is WYBM+1? and will briefly overtake your brain so that you can click the link and offer me a recommendation.
Until that time, this link is all I’ve got.
PLEASE CLICK IT.
Thanks!

Please Recommend Me!
If you can still look me in the eye after my last post, I have another favor to ask.
Please recommend WYBM+1? for the tumblr music directory.
It’s really easy, all you have to do is click the link! I’d super appreciate it, yes, even more than I would appreciate you actually listening to Fall Out BANGERS.
Missed the link the first time? CLICK HERE!
Also? To all the FOB fans who...

MIXTAPE | Fall Out BANGERS | 09/13/2010
I would like to start this off by saying that by no means feel compelled to comment on this entry. Hell, if later questioned about it (depending on how this all goes) I may very well deny its existence. All that I need to see is the mediafire download count slowly going up and I know I’ve done my job. Or, if no one downloads it, I will simply skulk off with my proverbial tail between my...

The Nuclears, Wise Girl, Swordfight and Sneaky...
Unfortunately, I did not make it to the Trash Bar in time for two things.
One: The open bar from 8-9. Although, considering that I ended up drinking PBRs and whiskey like they were going out of style (and paying for it the next morning), I was probably fine on that account.
Two: The Robo-Sapiens’ performance. (Sad face for that one.)
By the time I did arrive at Trash Bar, Sneaky Legend...

BLACKBOMBS @ Bar Matchless, Brooklyn (08/14/2010)
My first impression walking into the sideroom at Bar Matchless? I was totally dressed wrong. My flouncy summer dress? I was going to get my ass beat.
Industrial, I mean, I suppose I would classify BLACKBOMBS as industrial, is not exactly my area of expertise. I figured, as I settled in, feeling a bit like Tila Tequila at a Juggalo convention, I would take this as a new experience, and take away...

MIXTAPE | it's HIP to be DEAD | 08/18/2010
So this is the perfect mix for when you have a dead hipster in your closet and you need to briefly impersonate him/her in order to continue collecting their unemployment. Happens to me all the time. Anyway, brace yourself for CHILLWAVE and other strange and possibly made-up genres…like CHILLWAVE. All these songs came out 2009 or later, and have been put out by artists that are cool kid...

Random Old Records Podcast #22 - Leaked...
And I’ll quote Zach here…just don’t ask where he got it from, okay?
Click here to stream, download, or subscribe to Zach’s fabulous Random Old Records series, and listen to his newest podcast, which contains the mysterious (and, sadly, quite un-descriptively named) “Track 03”.
And, in my highly unfounded opinion, Little Horse, the enigmatic LP which contains...

MIXTAPE | SS,SY | 06/05/2010
SS,SY
I got fairly introspective towards the end of second semester senior year. (SS,SY) This mixtape is a cluttered attempt to sort out my thoughts. Some songs were ones I focused on for JezebelMusic, others I played on my radio show. One in particular reminds me of my sister, and the trip my family took out to see her. The later portion winds down into chill music for illicit...

MIXTAPE | Mixed Feelings - A Mid-Summer 09 Mixtape...
A disjointed ode to the boys who loved and left me…and other significant events of the season. So I think if someone were to somehow enter my thought processes at the moment, these are the songs that would be playing throughout. This mixtape contains a plea, a love letter, girl rage, positive summer feelings, Detroit, and stuff you can dance to. Can you find them all? 01 The Gories //...

MIXTAPE | Jenn Can't Drive...So SHE'S STUCK IN THE...
So a lot of people in my life in general ask me what kind of music I listen to. I say garage rock, but because so much of the music’s power is in its energy, most people just don’t really get it when you tell them. I also kind of wanted to prove it wasn’t dead, as John continually told me it was while he had me rigging the computers for jam band tickets. (I was only...

Ten Songs for Warmer Weather
So I’m stealing from Ryan and Chris and whoever else has been nice enough to upload a mixtape. I was thinking about the music I had been listening to lately, and the weather, and I put two and two together and made a nice little mix for you all. I compiled ten songs that are nice for the sun we’ve been having. Some of these songs have been heard by ...

Prepare For MIXTAPES!
So, I was thinking, as a way for you, the reader (hopefully I have some of those), to get to know me, the writer (hi! My name is allison!), I would post some mixtapes I’ve compiled in my time. The first three were originally published on my facebook, and the last was published on my personal tumblr.
I will post the date I published the mixtape, the title and description I wrote, and the...

Jimmy Ohio | Basic Black | 2009 (digital) 2010...
Jimmy Ohio was the opener for The Gories when I saw them in Hoboken, 07/29/2010. If you can remember that far back, I managed to grab a setlist, and I posted it on this blog. Through the magic of the internet, Mr. Ohio managed to find me, and sent me his EP. Basic Black was actually written and recorded two years ago, in 2008. It was recorded over the course of four days in a Baptist church, in...

Death, The Gories, ? and the Mysterians @ Damrosch...
Oh, Detroit. You can be a depressing-ass place. You know what’s not depressing? The Lincoln Center Damrosch Bandshell! It’s all big and clean and has folding chairs! Why don’t a bunch of you guys come hang out over here for a little bit?
Detroit bands: Okay. Why not?
At least, that’s how I imagine it went.
In any event, a ton of Detroit bands made it out to New York...

Fuck Yeah Yankee Bang Bang @ The Beauty Bar...
Bushwick Love!
I came out to see Fuck Yeah Yankee Bang Bang join The Nuclears in their Sunday residency at the Beauty Bar Brooklyn because I missed their Thursday Lit Lounge show, which, barring the technical difficulties that made Sita and Kevin “White Stripes it” through the last song (as Glenn put it), was still apparently an amazing time.
So, even though I had lots of work to...

The Gories, Jimmy Ohio @ Maxwell's (07/29/10)
Oh yes. They brought it.
But most of the time stories start at the beginning, so that’s where this one begins.
Corwin showed up at my place in the afternoon, drenched in vegetable oil from an unfortunate spill he took at the train station. After taking a shower, he asked me what time the show was. I told him I didn’t know off the top of my head, because my ticket was will-call. At...

Mick just waved at me. First. And then I waved back and he smiled. Awesome!

A Look At Upcoming Posts
This weekend, WYBM+1? will be dark. I’ll be working on maintaining the website, (hopefully get a header soon!) but in an event to offer some content, I want to fill you crazy kids in on what’s happening next week.
First of all, I was planning on visiting the Lit Lounge on Thursday, July 29th.
I was really excited to see Fuck Yeah Yankee Bang Bang’s set, you know, because...
