Double Nickels on the Dime…
August 30, 2010
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...

My desktop is littered with random pictures, at all times, that inspire or provoke different kinds of thought... Welcome to my brain...
Here's a picture I took at a recent Miniature Tigers show, Mercury Lounge NYC.

HAPPY SHARK WEEK
August 9, 2010
Last week, before the craziness of Lollapalooza, we all went up to Queens to celebrate one of my best pals', Andrew McInnes, birthday... If you ever get the chance to spend 5 minutes talking to McInnes you'll instantly know why he's everyone's favorite Long Islander...
Born to Andy & Midge McInnes, raised in the pit, a lover of many an enemy to none... I've never heard a negative mention of this guy, I say that...

What’s your band called?
August 3, 2010
Band names are kinda interesting... If I had a band I'd probably wanna call it the NYCobras or something cool like that...
I see a lot of bands and sometimes when I'm telling someone about a band and they're like "What do they sound like?" it makes me think... well they're nothing like the name sounds, but sometimes they are...
Back when I met Kam, from Chain Gang of 1974, a couple years ago I expected his...

Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros
July 30, 2010
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......

LA comes to NY
July 23, 2010
My friends from LA came to town this week... it was kinda weird as I'm accustomed to being taken all around their town. I guess it wasn't so different... Tal was, as always, the "Little Boss" and somehow still managed to drag Bobby Hundreds and I around my home turf, haha...

My pals from Vans were in town and they threw a little get-together... "NO PICTURES OF NEW...

Doggy Dog Weekends…
July 18, 2010
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...
