I can’t stop watching it.
You might recall Eran Creevy’s work for the Utah Saints video for ‘Something Good’:

Our mamas taught us not to keep secrets here at Discosalt…especially if that secret can help someone else.
We heard Mates of State is playing a secret show Wednesday night at an undisclosed location in New York City to celebrate their new record Re-Arrange Us, out today.
Sound Fix is giving away 25 tickets to the first 25 people to purchase the new album.

Oh, hi!
Our friends at Louisville based Backseat Sandbar recently visited us here in NYC and went to visit our neighbor-for-the-night, Kate Nash, as well. Miss Nash is so popular here in New York that a second show was booked for the following night. Backseat Sandbar will fill you in on what you missed; I will let them AND the pics do the talking, in that cute little accent, of course.

There are a few things we here at Discosalt are really suckers for and lines happen to be one of them. [ Not this kind, kids - stay in school and drink your milk. ] An unknown artist recently drew the line with neon tape in front of the NYU Barney building. There is something very refreshing about the simplicity of basic geometries, especially when you know they are oh so innocent and shortlived. [sigh]
The Presets: Apocalypso
Label: Modular
Release Date: May 13, 2008
Shake off your raver pants and get your glowsticks out of the freezer. The Presets continue to indulge in putting a gritty new edge on accessible synth. Thirty seconds after hitting the play button will most likely prompt you to get up out of your seat or preform some fierce ’87 style head-bobs or both. While Kim Moyes & Julian Hamilton studied classical composition they excel in its antithesis.
After 18 years, the second “New Kids on the Block” coming is upon us…and there will be dancing.

If you were walking along 3rd avenue and 16th street last night, you may have noticed that gramercy residents have either gotten into the habit of elegantly situating their garbage these days or someone is making some crazy awesome street art out of bright orange hangers. You be the Judge. Either way….we want more.
