We Love Music: White Rabbits @ Rock & Roll Hotel, 2/27/11

courtesy of White Rabbits. Sunday night might have belonged to the Oscars but those that stopped by Rock & Roll Hotel weren’t paying attention. White Rabbits were in town to end a week-long mini-tour of the northeast and showcased their dual (sometimes triple) percussion attack. The band is currently recording a new album and used [...]

Hot Ticket: White Rabbits @ Rock & Roll Hotel, 2/27/11

The beat-driven, piano-pounding sounds of White Rabbits will be coming to Rock & Roll Hotel this Sunday, Feb. 27th. This is sure to be an energetic (and very rhythmic) show. White Rabbits follow the post-punk aesthetic of fellow Brooklynites Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah! as well as The French Kicks. However, they approach this [...]

Week 16 Recap – Skins vs. Giants

’89 ;-) Santana Moss’ courtesy of ‘littlerottenrobin’ The Giants needed a win over the Redskins and a Packers loss to make the playoffs. They got the win but so did Green Bay. At least New York will be watching the post-season just like the Skins who had plenty of chances but also 4 turnovers in [...]

Week 13 Recap – Skins vs. Buccaneers

Week 12 Recap – Skins vs. Giants

‘flag’ courtesy of ‘littlerottenrobin’ Everyone knew the Redskins had to play a perfect game in order to beat the Giants. That didn’t happen. The Skins had 6 turnovers in the 31-7 loss. The game may have been over in the 1st quarter much like it was against the Eagles. The Giants scored touchdowns on their [...]

Week 11 Recap – Skins vs. Vikings

’120306 021′ courtesy of ‘Keith Allison’ On the first drive of the game, the Redskins offense looked great. They traveled 83 yards in nearly 8 minutes and capped it off with a touchdown catch by Fred Davis. After that, the offense looked mediocre. A combination of costly drops and penalties led to a 17-13 victory [...]

Week 10 Recap – Skins vs. Titans

’39322-14′ courtesy of ‘furcafe’ Everything seemed hopeless after the Redskins’ Monday night debacle against the Eagles. Then, they took their gold pants to Nashville and beat the Titans 19-16 in overtime. I guess this proves that the Eagle game was an anomaly. The Skins were scrappy against the Titans, the defense forced a couple of [...]

Week 9 Recap – Skins vs. Eagles

‘Super Bowl flags’ courtesy of ‘BrianMKA’ A couple of hours prior to the Monday night kickoff, Donovan McNabb signed a 5-year extension with the Redskins. It may have been poor timing given what happened later. The Eagles gave the Skins one of the worst beatings in franchise history, 59-28. It’s always hard to write something [...]

Skins Mid-Season Report

” courtesy of ‘dbking’ After half a season, the Redskins seem to have almost as many questions marks as they did during training camp. However, there is reason to believe things can come together and the team can make a run towards the playoffs. 4 wins matches the win total from last season, and there [...]

Week 8 Recap – Skins vs. Lions

‘Purple Redskins cap’ courtesy of ‘wfyurasko’ For the second straight season, the Redskins went to Detroit and lost. That by itself would have been reason enough to question the team heading into their bye week but this loss came with something extra. With the Skins trailing 31-26 and just less than 2 minutes remaining, Mike [...]

Week 7 Recap – Skins vs. Bears

‘DeAngelo Hall Intercepts Mark Sanchez’ courtesy of ‘Tony DeFilippo’ In what was a very sloppy game, the Redskins overcame some close calls and played opportunistic ball as they defeated the Bears 17-14. Both teams combined for 9 turnovers, 13 penalties, and 4 third down conversions on 23 attempts. Basically, who ever wanted it more would [...]

Week 5 Recap: Skins vs. Packers

‘Big men hitting hard’ courtesy of ‘joelrivlin’ For three quarters yesterday, the Redskins offense could not produce any spark and the defense let Aaron Rodgers spread the ball around the field. In the fourth quarter, the offense woke up and the defense attacked Rodgers with a mission. Donovan McNabb threw a 48-yard touchdown to Anthony [...]

Week 4 Recap: Skins vs. Eagles

‘Stranger in a Strange Jersey’ courtesy of ‘Tony DeFilippo’ The Skins kicked off a brutal stretch in their schedule with a tough victory over the Eagles in Philly. I was expecting Donovan McNabb to get a rude reception from Eagle fans much like the one he received at the ’99 draft. Instead, the crowd gave [...]

Week 3 Recap: Skins vs. Rams

‘bale to the redskins’ courtesy of ‘christaki’ Early on in this game the Redskins knew they would have a long day ahead of them. After allowing a 42-yard touchdown run by Stephen Jackson on the opening drive, the Skins fumbled the ball on their first possession and the Rams quickly responded with a touchdown pass [...]

Week 2 Recap: Skins vs. Texans

‘Our seats in the upper deck’ courtesy of ‘BrianMKA’ One thing is certain about the Redskins: they are rarely boring to watch. After giving up a 17-point lead in the second half and nearly 500 yards passing, the Skins fell to the Texans 30-27 in overtime. Both teams played very well for the most part [...]
