Somewhat of a news archive. Updated when we need more space on the front page. Yup. - Bulletin! August 23, 2009 posted by marta Audra Donroe's review of Dave Matthews Band at Nikon at Jones Beach Theater (from July 22, 2009) is finally up, so check it on out. August 11, 2009 posted by marta  There's nothing for me to say except coffeetable... August 10, 2009 posted by marta  Click here [coffeetable]. August 3, 2009 posted by marta  Coffeetable... peace. July 28, 2009 posted by marta So I know that button's been floating up there for a while, but there is now actual content there! YES! Spiltmilk is our current events section, it's things that are going on right now in the world, except from our point of view. So I've posted an article by Chase about the current state of Iran. The posts are, by the way, also on our Blogger. July 23, 2009 posted by marta  There's a new coffeetable, but! check back soon because we'll be updating spiltmilk within the next few days. Exciting? Yes. July 20, 2009 posted by marta  Coffeetable hereee. July 14, 2009 posted by marta  We've reviewed this Saturday's Conor Oberst/Jenny Lewis show at Battery Park. We've got pictures, video, the setlist, and of course, what we thought. July 6, 2009 posted by marta  Okayyy, it's late, so coffeetable and Hazel's posted a review of Grrr... by Bishop Allen on our Five Stars blog. Have a nice night. June 30, 2009 posted by marta Before I head off to graduate in fifteen minutes, I'm letting everyone know that Hazel has created a lovely graduation mixtape. Okay, time to go. June 25, 2009 posted by marta  We apologize for the lack of updates last week. You'd think that after classes ended we'd be less busy. But, no. That's not the way life works. We graduate on Thursday and that's that. Finally. Anyways... coffeetable. And also, I've posted a new review for Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors. That is all. Have a nice day. Thank you. June 22, 2009 posted by marta  So this fine, fine, fine stormy day is actually our one year anniversary of noisecafe. Why, yes, it is terribly exciting. To get the festivities going, we're announcing the launch of a new blog... Five Stars. This is album reviews, but for the next couple weeks, we'll post our favorites from 2009 so far. We've also updated likes, and posted a new link "our blogs" which kind of... lists all of our blogs to make everyone's life easier. Mmkay, that's all the excitement for today. June 9, 2009 posted by marta  Cawfeeeeetable. June 8, 2009 posted by marta  So this week, coffeetable features a poem submitted to us by a certain Kevin Redmond from Connecticut. We've also finally updated restroom. June 1, 2009 posted by marta  Let's start off by pretending that it's Monday. Coffeetable + bulletin. Okay, great. May 26, 2009 posted by marta  Lalala, go this way -> coffeetable. May 18, 2009 posted by marta  Something swell has happened in the specials area, in which a swell boy by the name of Chase has written a swell review of yesterday's Cursive show in London. How swell. =] May 13, 2009 posted by marta  I don't have anything nice to say at the moment... coffeetable is all I can offer. May 11, 2009 posted by marta  On this fine Cinco de Mayo, we update the Coffeetable. Eat tacos and love life. The end. And also, someone let me know when it stops raining. kthxbye. May 5, 2009 posted by marta  Coffeetableeee! April 27, 2009 posted by marta  Likes, yes! And some time in the next day, Hazel's bulletin will, too, be updated. April 23, 2009 posted by marta  Coffeetable. I wish I had something nice to say here, but I don't really. Today was a lame day, very rainy and cold. Tomorrow will also be rainy. And so will the day after. Wonderful. April 20, 2009 posted by marta  Coffeetable? Mmhm, yup. April 13, 2009 posted by marta  Last Sunday's Bishop Allen show review can be found here. And, us lucky kids also posted an interview with Justin Rice HERE. April 9, 2009 posted by marta  Mmkay. Coffeetable for your browsing pleasure. And... restroom + bulletin. We're also trying this new thing in which... we update randomly during the week (like we did the fine day of the second of April). Coffeetable will always be on Mondays, but sometimes, we don't want to wait a week before the next update, so I guess you'll just have to check back more often. =] April 6, 2009 posted by marta  Surprise, surprise. Likes has been updated. April 2, 2009 posted by marta  Coffeetable. And, as always, if anyone is interested in being getting published here on this side of the internet, send your stuff to contact@noise-cafe.com. As you should know, more details can be found here (how to submit). We enjoy getting mail, you enjoy seeing your name pop up in Google searches. Win-win. March 30, 2009 posted by marta  Pictures, poems, and music (coffeetable). March 24, 2009 posted by marta  Coffeetable,
yup.I've also updated my bulletin twice since our last updates. And, by the way, you can "follow" us on Blogger and see when we update right from there. But don't forget to visit us here, too! (And sorry about last week. This is a difficult job for just the two of us!) March 16, 2009 posted by marta  Coffeetable.And also, because it's now March... we've updated the restroom! March 2, 2009 posted by marta There's been a slight yet exciting change! We've created a Blogger account. Henceforth, our bulletins will be posted here on the site and also on Blogger. The reason for this is that this allows for better organization of each our posts, and we can delete older posts from the site. All of our Bulletins from the very beginning are on Blogger, and will never be deleted from there. In addition, you can comment on our posts there (we don't have an option for that on our site yet). We will be posting new Bulletins simultaneously on both sites, the only thing is that older ones will be deleted from here. We hope this will work with everyone! Here are the links: Hazel's Bulletin Marta's Bulletin February 24, 2009 posted by marta While everyone's counting down to spring... we've updated coffeetable (sorry about last week... =[ ). February 23, 2009 posted by marta It seems to be Valentine's Day this Saturday. Huh. What a coincidence, because we've posted a Dear Valentine mixtape. Then of course, we've got some lovely coffeetable-ness. And I've even posted a bulletin! BAM! Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! February 10, 2009 posted by marta Because we're so pro... we've got a coffeetable AND restroom just for you. Get crack-a-lackin'. (Is that how you spell it?) February 2, 2009 posted by marta Coffeetable. January 26, 2009 posted by marta WE APOLOGIZE! In the craze of midterms and tests and school and studying and... everything of that nature, we simply couldn't pull through. I hope everyone had a rush of American pride yesterday, and um, yeah if you're in high school, good luck on your midterms/finals. I did update my bulletin today, so you can check that out. And feel free to e-mail us with any comments you have (your thoughts about last night might be particularly interesting!). Contact@noise-cafe.com - and include name, age, and where you're at. January 21, 2009 posted by marta Hopefully everyone's off to a good start, and while you're basking in frozen bliss, check out coffeetable. January 12, 2009 posted by marta We hope everyone had a happy new year's! Change is good. So we've changed a little bit ourselves: There's obviously a new layout. Coffeetable. And restroom is... revolutionized. It's no longer a place for humor... but a place to free yourself (cliche?). At the beginning of each month, we'll post some kind of venture for you to go out and do. We hope that it'll be a way for you to let out your creative side and you know, waste less time doing pointless things. Like stalking people on Facebook, refreshing your e-mail, Googling people you know, going back and forth to the fridge wondering whether you're hungry. And the hundreds of other things you do to kill some time. Over the month, feel free to update us with your progress (send pictures, retellings, etc.), we enjoy getting mail. If it's relevant, we'll post what you've done to show others how you're getting along. January 5, 2009 posted by marta Woah, woah, woah! A flurry of updates! Coffeetable, likes, and Hazel's lovely bulletin. Have a happy new year! And send us your pictures. And poetry. And everything you ever wrote. Send an e-mail HERE. December 29, 2008 posted by marta Specials and coffeetable have been updated... Feel free to e-mail us what you really want for Christmas (maybe you'll be special enough to be posted on the specials! Include a brief few sentences about what you want, your name, age, and where you're from.) December 22, 2008 posted by marta In the spirit of Christmas... we've got an indie mixtape. And, the usual coffeetable (with another photo submission from... a certain Kaitrin Freeman, woo! Le'ts hear those cheers from the crowd!). Yeah, so get submitting yourself if you want to be that cool. December 8, 2008 posted by marta Coffeetable, yup. December 1, 2008 posted by marta Okay I'm going to try to go back to updating my bulletin as close to daily as possible. November 28, 2008 posted by marta You might not believe it... but restroom is updated. Yeah I'm kind of stunned, too. And hopefully coffeetable will also be a weekly update from now on. November 24, 2008 posted by marta We've revamped the coffeetable. We're now accepting submissions for your pictures! Go to how to submit for details. I've also finally uploaded pictures from the Killers and Conor Oberst shows on Flickr (link can also now be found up at "our links"). November 17, 2008 posted by marta Conor Oberst show in Washington DC at the 9:30 Club can be downloaded here. Peace. November 12, 2008 posted by marta Hazel has posted a bulletin! College stuff is still eating us away. So yeah. And I'll post a link later today to a whole recording of a Conor Oberst show last night in Washington DC (thanks to NPR. Woo!). November 11, 2008 posted by marta Conor Oberst show review. Um, yeah. That was... beautiful. I don't like cliches... especially because when you want to use one, no one really takes it to heart. It's just a saying. But as un-cliche as you can possibly make this... It was life-changing. It was love. November 10, 2008 posted by marta It feels kind of surreal that it's actually voting day, after months of being built up. So go out and vote. And it's not an excuse to say your vote doesn't count. If you actually voted, maybe it would. November 4, 2008 posted by marta Poetry page has been changed, andddd! We've posted a submission! Woohoo! October 27, 2008 posted by marta The Killers show review is up, pics will be up really soon. October 26, 2008 posted by marta. New mixtape! Because I bet everyone's feeling overwhelmed right now. October 20, 2008 posted by marta. Specials now includes the Death Cab show on October 6. Hazel will put up her review sometime this weekend. Hang tight. October 9, 2008 posted by marta. Okay, it's been a while. It's also been quite busy on our end. But we know, it's not our position to complain to you. Just wanted to let you know what's coming soon. Hazel and I attended the Death Cab for Cutie show in Radio City last night. Footage, pictures, and comments from that will be up as soon as possible. We promise. October 7, 2008 posted by marta.

A new mixtape! I know it's been a while, but we were having... technical difficulties a couple weeks ago when we were supposed to update that. And once a week is too often anyways. I think I mentioned before that we'd take that page a little slower. Likes is updated as well. Peaceee. (Oh, and a new 'special' is brewing). September 22, 2008 posted by marta. For some reason, I'm still a little sick. But anyways, likes has a new layout (and a new update). Bulletins have been updated. I know we've been a little slow with... specials (we're working on it), mixtape (next one is due out next week), poetry (...), and restroom (life hasn't been very funny). I know it's not our job to complain, but being a senior in the first half of the year brings with it a huge workload. If you promise to hang in there, we'll try to do the same. September 15, 2008 posted by marta. Okay so we're both terribly sorry. No updates this week. I got sick the first day of school (last Wednesday) and finally had time to see the doctor today. It's been school, homework, and sleeping off whatever decided to attack my poor little immune system. And, Hazel's gotten sick, too [not from me. It's never from me.] So while we're battling out our various diseases... we'll try to update some time this week with what we missed today. Go watch amusing videos on youtube today instead. Thanks, yo. September 8, 2008 posted by marta. Hazel's posted a like and a bulletin. All I did was try to update my bulletin as close to once a day as possible. Check that page often. Updates there are going to be more common. September 1, 2008 posted by marta. I'm home! Oh, and there's a new like. And I also updated my bulletin. August 25, 2008 posted by marta. Sorry for the delay, but there's a new recommendation, restroom has been updated, and so has my bulletin. Hope everyone's summer is treating them well. August 4, 2008 posted by marta. I hope you're excited and grateful that I'm taking my time away on my vacation overseas to help bring a set of updates for you! Just kidding. It's my pleasure. Hazel's put together a lovely mixtape for those of you with closing eyelids and recommended an artist for your walls. And I screen capped Facebook. What a team we are. July 14, 2008 posted by marta. RESTROOM WOO! It is updated, indeed (didn't put my name on it, but I'm responsible for that section). I also posted a lovely, depressing poem. I used to write really depressing poetry. A few changes as well. We realized that we might have to take mixtape a little slower. If we were to recommend 10 songs a week (we actually do about 12 a week), in a year, we'd have posted 5200 songs. I mean, there is a lot of music out there, but... let's slow it down. Mixtape is now bimonthly. And on a slight sidenote, this Saturday, I'm going away to Poland for 5 weeks, so I apologize in advance for any delay in updating that might occur between next week and... mid-August. But we won't abandon you, don't worry. July 7, 2008 posted by marta It's now a tad bit easier to submit your thoughts in likes (no longer 'recommendations') and specials. Check it out. We also changed the font. July 2, 2008 posted by marta. Jillian Lewis. Uhuh. Exciting. Click your way to Specials. And also: recommendation, summer mixtape, and poem. (By the way, we update our blogs under Bulletin randomly, so you just have to check back every so often.) We'd also like you to check out this video originally posted by Postsecret. 1(800)SUICIDE is in need of help itself, watch the video to see why it's time to give back. They help so many people each and every day (every 42 seconds, someone in the US attempts suicide), don't take it away from the thousands that need it. Visit www.hopeline.com for more information and to donate. 
June 30, 2008 posted by marta. So being funny is kind of eluding us - restroom hasn't been updated. Neither has specials. But that's because you have an interview with Jillian Lewis of Bravo's Project Runway to look forward to in the near future. =) Everything in coffeetable is new, though. June 23, 2008 posted by marta. First updates! New recommendation, mixtape, poetry, and restroom has been updated to something more amusing as well. June 16, 2008 posted by marta. Site is launched. Welcome. June 9, 2008 posted by marta. What
are we doing taking up space on the world wide web?
Some, many actually, do not think that listening to another person’s opinion is an issue. They feel that they do listen, whether when talking to friends, watching the news, or even listening to music. Well, guess what? People don’t listen to us. Us is the whole group of society that is often shunned by those out of school, those working, those done with applying their minds. Many have the belief that teenagers (God, do I hate that word – even I have an aversion to it) do not have enough life experience and make the wrong decisions with friends, drugs, sex, alcohol, school, EVERYTHING. There is a stereotype that young adults cannot think for themselves. Everyone has heard how we (“teenagers”) fall into the pit of “peer pressure” or are stuck in a rut of “cool.” You wouldn’t be able to count how many people have mistaken the definition of “cool.” Merriam Webster quite plainly describes cool as what is “all right.” Yet, when I tell my parents that someone’s bag is “cool,” they send a furrowed eyebrow my way and say, “Just because it’s ‘cool’ doesn’t mean you have to have it, too. Why can’t you be more of an individualist?” For the hundred and fifty-eighth time, I explain to them that when I say that something is “cool,” I mean that I personally like it and wouldn’t be ashamed to walk around with it, and that it would show people who I am. Inevitably, my parents will simply shrug with a look on their faces as though they know something I don’t. So as you listen to the news, tell me, how many reports have you heard about someone under the age of twenty doing something unacceptable by society? And did you hear anything about the group of high schoolers that sent supplies to troops overseas, or even performed in a band whose lyrics changed (maybe even saved) someone’s life? Of course, those people that shake off our achievements would say something like: “The only thing those stupid kids are interested in is music. I’m glad I won’t be around for when they govern themselves.” Every single one of us has opinions (the good, the bad, and the unheard). The problem is that because of society’s cliché, almost no one bothers listening. Stop fucking judging us. We have different ideas and that’s all. We’re capable of anything. Absolutely anything. posted by marta. LINKS: how to submit. contact us. YouTube. Flickr. |
