For as long as I’ve been a fan of The Dismemberment Plan (since ’05 during my college radio stint), I’ve lived with the sad reality that the D.C.-based band was defunct. So when I stumbled upon east coast tour dates, specifically a January 30 performance at NYC’s Webster Theatre, I nearly shat myself.
Instead, I snatched up two tickets faster than you can say, “THE DISMEMBERMENT PLAN IS BACK TOGETHER?!?!?!?”
Today is moving day!!!
Angela‘s mom has packed up her belongings and is officially en route to NYC where she will be living, working and of course, Buntologizing.
The first half of “Angela’s ‘Holy Sh*t I’m Moving to NYC’ diary” will be posted on the site next week. In the meantime, here’s a clip to wet your appetite!

Can you believe it’s almost October? And while Fall happens to be my favorite season (hoodies, hoodies, hoodies), I can’t help but think that this summer flew by particularly fast. I think it has something to do with all of the amazing shows and festivals I attended.
Here’s a look back at some of the music that didn’t make it to the website…
Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros – 7/25 @ Pearl Street in Noho, Mass.
The night started with some delicious food at what my friend and I crowned Noho’s “best kept secret” Chinese restaurant*, complete with fortune coookies and a bunch of discriminatory douchebags at the table to our right (see picture).
JACKIE: Last weekend’s Wormtown Music Festival was the perfect way to end the summer.
ANGELA: Held at Camp Kee-Wanee in Greenfield, Mass., this festy has become a staple of my summer and serves as a fitting goodbye to the parade of live music that the season brings.
J: My idea to attend the festival was a last minute decision. If you had asked me a couple weeks ago if I wanted to go to a music festival I would have said, “Ha! Ummm, no.” I am not really sure what spurred the idea. I think it had something to do with Angela moving to NYC and me wanting to spend some QT with her before she left. Or maybe I was just really bored. Being unemployed can make you feel kind of crazy and I was up for pretty much anything.
A: When Jackie told me she was going to come to Wormtown I was thrilled! Finally my twin was going to see me in all my glory… OK, so I was a little bit nervous, too.
…so many awesome things have happened!
Angela finished up work at Everyday Health and is relocating to New York City at the end of the month to start her new job- and to open up a satellite office for Buntology. In the interim, she’s using her time off to catch up on all the things that she’s been too busy to do since working:
Of course the big move will be chronicled in a yet-untitled, but captivating series for the site.
Although I’ve avoided MTV like the plague since I was about 18, I think that will only make this live blog better. Presenting the 2010 MTV VMAs…
