The Eye and Zorn Studio is located in the Eastworks Building in Easthampton.

I was lucky enough to get invited to a private performance at the Eye and Zorn Studio in Eastworks on Monday night. The Eye and Zorn is located in the former space of Spirithouse studios. Brightly painted walls and subdued lighting adorn the space, making it cozy among all of the music equipment.

The group was ready to hear some good music. Don't they look ready?

DCFC's third Narrow Stairs video is for bouncy, upbeat "No Sunlight," the album's most obvious single contender. This clip imagines the song's title literally, inviting us on the night vision journey of a young boy through his neighborhood of like-minded daysleepers. The band's not in it, but we do meet night owls doing errands and playing [...]

Girl Talk Is A PC

biz@greensense.biz — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 11:03:52 +0100

Apple's long-running Mac vs. PC ad campaign may be elitist, but as Videogum points out, "at least they addressed the superiority of their product over the competition, emphasizing the fact that PCs get viruses and break all the time." This new "I'm A PC" spot starring Girl Talk in his hot [...]

MGMT Offer Spinner "Future Reflections," An "Electric Feel"

biz@greensense.biz — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 16:39:59 +0100

It makes sense I had to watch a Pantene commercial before getting through to MGMT's Spinner/Interface session: Andrew VanWyngarden has good obnoxious hair like the guy from Ted Leo's band had three years ago. Regardless, the recently Cool Listed Summer Of Love-loving Brooklyn crew brought some of their Oracular [...]

After a pretty electrifying CMJ, Ponytail dialed down their ecstatic racket for Daytrotter, dishing scoops of their Ice Cream Spiritual with acoustic guitars and hand percussion. Still a little too crazy for campfire singalongs, still a gorgeous commotion. Go download.
