Double Nickels on the Dime…

Double Nickels on the Dime…

Sometimes I put on a song and let it play on repeat all day... I did it once in college, I think I was kinda outta my mind that day anyway... my friend Dave still tells the story. I'm not sure if it perpetuates my insanity or just proves it... or maybe it's just a regular thing. I've been listening to this one song for the last 3 days.
Anyway... I spent a lot of time...

THANK YOU
August 24, 2010

THANK YOU

Yesterday, August 23rd, was my birthday and I did something I've never done before...
You see... I'm not actually a Holiday person... I won't get into it, it's not worth getting into... normally I ghost out on my birthday, I don't answer any calls, I don't answer any e-mails... I usually just go to a record store, go to the movies and feel melancholy all day, but yesterday was different.
For the first time in my...

NEW YORK to CHICAGO

NEW YORK to CHICAGO

Years and years ago when I signed up for Myspace I chose the name Frequent Flyer... the funny thing about this is, I had never actually flown on a plane... I guess it was subliminal-aspirational thinking.
When I chose a logo for my laptop, the one I write and DJ on, I once again chose the logo of a plane... The Santa Monica Airlines plane that sat atop my first skateboard...
I honestly never...

Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros

Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros

About 3 years ago my friend played me what would be the first demos of a band called Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros... from the first notes of a song with no vocals on it, I knew something special was in the works...
I've been fortunate to watch and participate in the amazing process of the beginning and growth of a few things in my life... it's always a wonderful experience, brand new every time......

Doggy Dog Weekends…

Doggy Dog Weekends…

Sundays, when I'm home, are for trips to Spanish Harlem to attend the weekly cookout... the neighborhood folks, the kids and the puppies gather out back where corn is grilled, music and laughter abound... discussions range from movies to art to New York history... ice cream is consumed... the night brings on the summer guests that are fire flies.
The dogs that hang round, constantly under foot and wrestling among themselves are like toddlers... all rescued...

South Street Seaport


When I moved to Manhattan I knew approximately 3 people... on Saturdays I'd wake up at 9am or so and just walk the city. If you've ever been to New York on the weekends you know that on days that start with "S" the streets are "ghost town" empty until about noon. I'd get up on the weekends, grab my i-pod and walk down to the bottom of the island and then turn around and...
