My Happy Place Sounds Like This

I know you are not supposed to post something on the internet that is more than a day old, and this came out way back at Thanksgiving but it makes me so incredibly happy and I thought I might share the love. Again. Cause it’s that good. I never really understood why everyone loved Florence [...]

In Conversation with Molly Donahue

Molly Donahue, formerly of the band Love Story, recorded her first solo album this year, entitled Metal Alvin, which is due out at the end of this month. In addition to this, Molly also has a photo blog where she records her life separated into different segments- namely, “eats,”(food) “out of doors,”(nature) “animalia,”(animal friends) “noir”(spooky [...]

Obama Sings Al Green

Obama made an appearance at the Apollo last night for a fundraiser, also attended by Al Green. Channeling the Reverend, the President sang a few lines of Let’s Stay Together. It reminded me why I liked Obama so much four years ago.

In Conversation with Twin Sister

Although the Long Island-based quintet Twin Sister just released their first full-length album, In Heaven, this fall, the band has previously released two EPs (Color Your Life in 2010 and Vampires With Dreaming Kids in 2008), and they have enough unofficial material online to create at least two additional albums. The band’s five members—singer Andrea [...]

Tara Israel Self-Interview

Here is my intro for myself: I take pictures of many things. Recently it has been notorious genre-busting musician Hank Williams III aka [...]

In Conversation with Chelsea Wolfe

In the midst of this year’s CMJ festivities, WDRKMR (Alexander Iezzi and Jordan Robin), caught up with Los Angeles-based musician Chelsea Wolfe. They  found her at stylist Jenni Hensler’s Williamsburg loft for a rainy afternoon of dress-up and conversation. WDRKMR: Photographing you was especially fantastic because of your visible transformation when you get into wardrobe [...]

Daylight Savings

Come by Mercury Lounge tonight, November 15, and check out the band The Daylights, in from Los Angeles. Part of the growing indie rock scene in LA, this band is fronted by twin brothers Ran and Ricky (yup) and backed by drummer Svend. Twins and a Svend! I mean, really – what more could you [...]
