Hey everyone! My name is Annie, and I’m another Arts & Entertainment intern at the Ithaca Times this summer. While I’ve attended school here for two years now (!), I’ve only recently developed a very delayed, wide-eyed excitement about Ithaca, due to finally exploring it properly. I actually feel like a little bit like a […]

Apologies for the tardiness in this week’s show calendar; I may be biased, but this weekend’s clear winner is the Magik Markers & Mouthus gig at the Lost Dog Lounge tomorrow at 10pm. Get there early for a good spot.

For those who read the Ticket this morning, this is pure sadness. As a former intern of Jim Catalano already three years ago (!), I know firsthand the significance and relevance he has to the local music community. It’s encouraging to hear that he’ll continue to be a presence in our music community and I […]

There is a LOT going on in this week’s show calendar. As many people have noticed, Friday is pretty much stuffed to the gills with tantalizing musical options. Want my two cents? Vieux Farka Toure seems to come here on a twice a year basis, and The Horse Flies — as much as I love […]

Last week, I attended a memorable concert at the Red House Arts Center in Syracuse. After the performance, I was fortunate enough to be able to interview the featured musicians, Carsten Nicolai (Alva Noto) and Olaf Bender (Byetone), two of the founders of the acclaimed Berlin-based electronic music label, Raster-Noton. Bender said this in the […]
