Sad day in music, and another NYC institution squeezed out of the city. East Village Radio closes its tiny storefront studio doors today after a decade of playing radio free music and censorship free dialogue for music lovers from all over the world. We've spent many hours working on Grant's Golden Brand Pomade projects listening to Keene and Gee of Forty Deuce Radio. Thank you @EVRadio and @FortyDeuceNYC for the good sounds.

"The music that we played has really infused into my soul" - Keene.

If you live in an area that doesn't offer good radio stations, East Village Radio might be your saving grace. Pick a genre you dig and you can listen to it day to night, or open your mind and just listen live to whatever is playing at the moment.

And if the schedule of the show you wanna listen to doesn't fit with your schedule, every show is impressively archived - all you have to do is click on the playlist to see the entire show set listed in order and then click listen.

If you live in New York, check out EVR's main page for upcoming concerts and other music news info.

The weekend's here again folks. Depending on where you live, this nasty weather might be keeping you indoors. If that's the case, we highly recommend you rent a copy of Stop Making Sense, a concert film featuring Talking Heads from three live gigs in 1983 at Hollywood's Pantages Theater.

Stop Making Sense could very well be one of the greatest live concert films to date. Everything in this film is flawless: the most important element - the music, the performances from David Byrne and the entire band/background singers, the energy level, the lighting, the angles of the shots, the staging. Although Byrne came up with much of the staging concept (and the funding) for this film, director Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs, The Manchurian Candidate, Neil Young: Heart of Gold), put it all together the way a concert film should be presented. If you're a Talking Heads fan, or you just appreciate good music, you won't be disappointed.
