We headed over to the temporary NYC KEXP studios, set up at Gigantic Music, today. We went to check out Ghostland Observatory (who are playing tonight at the Delancey, by the way).

The studios are usually set up at the Museum of Television and Radio, but this year they got switched over to Gigantic. This is really nice for the bands, the studio is beautiful - in addition to being Philip Glass' old studio. For the audience, however, it's harder to see and feel connected to what's going on - with a glass window to see through and a wall seperating you from the music.

It's a cool experience though, and Ghostland blew everyone away - if you missed it you can listen to it online once they get it up there. Has anyone else been over to KEXP this week?
