I WAS THERE WHEN…
March 15, 2010

When invited... and when I can go, I say "Yes" to shows... I've been fortunate to see some incredible bands in small, packed rooms... before any band plays a sold out show to hundreds or thousands, they play in small rooms... I like to see them there. Friday night the studio at Webster Hall was packed with people for HUSSLE CLUB's debut. My friend Terry sings for this band and sent me the...

SIGNS… REMINDERS…
March 11, 2010

I've recently become a fan of listening... so much so that when I'm on the phone with people who know me they sometimes stop, all of the sudden, and ask "Are you still there?" to which I reply "Yes, I'm just listening..." I realize I've been known to say a word or two... but this idea that because I've taken a liking to listening, it causes my friends wonder if I'm still on the call, kinda...

HEAR.
March 8, 2010

Sometimes living in New York is like living inside of some weird version of Coachella-Lollapalooza-CMJ thing... Here is a day-by-day, or should I say night-by-night account of the last 7 days... SUNDAY: I saw a band I really like called SURFER BLOOD play an acoustic set at Other Music and then I saw a full set at Mercury Lounge. They are on tour in the States right now... you can GO...

Happy Birthday My Friend…
March 1, 2010

There was a time when I would go anywhere I was invited... then I stopped, I don't really know why... The last week I've been home and while looking through the pictures on my various picture taking devices I realized, people make me really stoked on life! People add so much to whatever it is you do... So I got up and spent some time with some rad people... some old friends and some new. I...

TWO TONE LIFE.
February 23, 2010

I'm feeling the simplicity of BLACK & WHITE... I wish I could play DOO WOP and TWO TONE SKA in my set... can we do a night like that somewhere? Here's two pictures I took... KARL... you need to throw this in your runway music holmes... SHIMMY SHIMMY WATUSI... Can't deny that, that's a classic jamm... If you're gonna pay 400$ for them boots... you better wear the sh*t outta 'em. I love New York because people...
