Remember this article from December’s Ithaca Times? Well, it’s taken me exactly three months to get my act together (to the day! no less) and re-post it online, here. Like a fine wine, it’s aged well over time, I would say. I’ve also uploaded a complete photo gallery over at our flickr — see it […]

NYC-based laptop-art pop musician White Williams will open up the Fanclub Collective 2008 season with a show at Appel Commons this Saturday. I recently spoke with him and learned a lot about his creative process, thoughts on touring, living (and not living) in NYC, and listening to the racket of Sightings and Burning Star Core. […]

The Slope Day Programming Board (such an official-sounding group for such a stupid-inducing day!) announced the musicians that will be performing Slope Day ‘08: Gym Class Heroes (the band features members from our neighboring town Geneva, so that’s kind of great) and Canuck pop-punkers Hot Hot Heat. God, didn’t we get enough of Hot Hot […]

Thanks to the good folks at the Albany Sonic Arts Collective for letting us know about this exciting show on Saturday night. [Similar post over at Ecstatic Peace! for the same show that’s happening tonight at the Hampshire College Red Barn in Amherst.] Andrea Neumann [pictured above], Jack Wright and others are currently on tour […]

Three extremely distinguished and accomplished writers will read from their works tonight at the Schwartz Auditorium in Rockefeller Hall on the Cornell Campus. The talk is part of the English Dept’s 2008 Spring Reading Series (the same series that has brought Sandra Cisneros, Willie Perdomo, and Salman Rushdie to the Cornell podium), and all three […]

Mmmm mmm the chili festival on The Commons is tomorrow! Despite having lived in Ithaca for almost six years, I have yet to attend this staple winter event. I know, I know. But I’ve been on a huge chili kick lately (vegetable & three bean, if you must know) and this seems like a great […]

Okay, so I know that I said Valentine’s Day is a lame holiday or whatever, but the sentimental side of me is slowly taking control, and I can’t resist the temptation of posting one of my Ultimate Guilty Pleasures: the Melancholy Coldplay Song. You know you love it! Happy Valentine’s everyone!!!!

Boston-based soul-funk-jazz quartet Soulive will take the State Theatre stage this Saturday, Feb. 16 at 8pm. [Tickets and more info here.] We remember Soulive from high school, when their song “Joyful Girl” featured Dave Matthews on vocals. We secretly really liked that song. Ithaca-based funk band The Rozatones will open [they’re also playing the Medeski […]

Not that I normally recognize this holiday, especially on this site, but there are a lot of music-related events happening in celebration of Valentine’s Day, most of which are listed very nicely by Olivia a few days ago. My favorite pick would have to be Saturday’s concert at the Lost Dog Lounge with Sim Redmond, […]

If you can brave the terrible snow storm outside, then you should head over to the Chantiloft tonight, where we hear that the American Weekends DJ duo will play from 10pm-1pm. We first caught wind of this Seattle couple a few weeks back, when Luke wrote about the best DJs in Ithaca in “Get Your […]

Crap, you forgot. Don’t panic — you still have a few more hours before you have to turn out a gift or two to your significant other. Here are some quick tips to get your V-Day together on your way home from work tomorrow.
For a romantic evening, get him or her “Some Like It Hot,” […]

Hello! I’ve written a few posts so I think it’s time I introduce myself. I’m Olivia Rebert and I’m one of the spring interns here at the Ithaca Times. I’m a junior writing major at Ithaca College and I also am the chief copy editor and a writer at The Ithacan, the college’s weekly newspaper. […]

Does winter have you down? Are you sick of Grey’s reruns? Then check out “The Whitest Kids U’ Know,” a funny yet considerably awkward sketch comedy show written, acted and directed by five college-age guys. You’ll either love it or hate it, but the more you watch it, the funnier it gets. The Independent Film […]

It’s easy to let Valentine’s Day go by with a few wilted carnations and a couple of chocolates, but this year get out of that usual routine with your honey (or your friends) and check out what’s going on this Feb. 14.

Instrumental guitarist Lynn Wiles will be playing at the Watercress Restaurant on 2 Hickory […]
