Cranes on my wall

Grandma sent this thru today:


Will hang it this weekend, and snap some pics. Also will post pics on how the garden is sprouting. Looking good a month into it, just hope it keeps growing and we get some nice flowers out of it.

East Coast vs. West coast Public Radio

East Coast vs. West coast Public Radio

Check out WFMU from the New York Area or KEXP from Seattle. These public radio stations play great music that is 'under the radar' from music you might hear other places. And you no longer have to be local to ‘tune in.’

Click here to jam it east coast style or here for west coast style.

(Oh yeah - you need Winamp to make these links jam.)

Susie and I went to see the Islands.

and after the show the band and the people go to the street and go around in the rain and the puddles. and islands bang on drum too.

Trying to grow a garden

Susie and I cleaned up and dug up the patio this weekend, laid down some seeds and some new top soil. Here's the before pictures.




Here's hoping there will be some good 'after' pictures.

New OxOp toys!

The collection is a growing! Found a Shepard Ferry/Obey one this weekend.

Mates of State instore video footage

Off my Cool Pix digital snapshot camera.



You get the jist.

I liked it when they played this song in NYC

Mary B just sent this to me from the Belle and Sebastian show in SF. They did it here in NYC too, and it was a show highlight. It's song #5 from Tigermilk. I like the way the guy in the suit dances.

Bring It Back: In Store

Mates of State's new record 'Bring It Back' came out yesterday - so they celebrated by doing an instore at Virgin in Union Squre (just down from Trader Joe's and my place).

Video comming soon (just waiting for Google to accept the video.)

Here are some pics -






Juice/Tommy/Deni and Susie were all there to rock out. After words, I had Jason and Kori sign CDs for those that were good enough to come out. We then went for some yummy Criff's Dogs.

More like home

Rearranged the place – feels more like a home now. I don’t what I was thinking about the way I had it set up before.




Susie and I then headed over to the Joe’s to pick up some dinner. NYC has gone insane – and for good reason – I love the Joe’s.

So the Joe's opened...

Susie and I walked by on the way to the train. We saw the crowds. We saw the sign . We had to get to work on time. I'll stop by on my way home from work. I'll go in and take pictures tomorrow.

Crazy Japanese kids show!

Go to YouTube and search on Kure Kure Takora to get you some'mo.

What?

I don't understand this blog at all. I came across it and threw it in my bloglines, and it's just absolutely bizarro. From time to time, I'll even comment - 'I don't understand your blog.' I think it may belong to Dave Eggers, or someone in his posse.

They don't open until 9 am and they close at 10?

I may just have to be late to work next Thur. I have to go there the morning it opens.


Now that I have the Trader Joe's and the In and Out across the street, the only things I need from Cali are an Ameoba and a Peet's. And my friends. And that elusive pile o' cash.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trader Joe's To Open On St. Pat's Day

According to today's NYPost, Trader Joe's in Union Square is set to open on March 17th. The paper is all about TJ's today, giving you 1,500 words of love spread across two articles that provide some truly great quotes.

Software designer David Galbraith pronounces himself "stoked." East Village resident Brooke Nipar has been talking about it for months. And artist E.V. Day says she's "so excited I'm frothing at the mouth." The event that has them in such a dither: the opening of a gourmet food store on 14th Street near Union Square. In a city already awash in enough extra-virgin Tuscan olive oil and organic fingerling potatoes to keep an army of foodies in rations until the next millennium, that might seem an odd cause for jubilation. But this isn't just any gourmet food store - it's the city's first outpost of Trader Joe's, set to open March 17 at 142 E. 14th St., near Third Avenue.

Just in case you are still confused by the hysteria surrounding the opening of what is in essence just another grocery store, this quote may help clear things up, "It's unique among retail food stores. It's kind of like the Grateful Dead of supermarkets." There you have it.

My olde country videos

I have 2 videos up on Google, one of Emmy Lou Harris and one of Loretta Lynn.
Pretty low quality, given I made them on my Cannon digital snap shot camera.

Emmy Lou Harris:


Loretta Lynn:

The Union Forever!

All the lyrics from 'The Union Forever' off of the White Stripe's 3rd record 'White Blood Cells' come from Citizen Kane.

Someone's done a mash up of sorts and sync'd video footage from Citizen Kane with the song.

Pretty cool.

David Coross is so fucking typical

Good one David Cross.

Issac Brock on the other hand, is not. Big ups for the shout out to Bedhead. I love Bedhead.

Jason's 30th and a blizzard

I've eaten at Dairy Queen alot, but I've never seen a blizzard like this.

It started comming down hard core around midnight. Alot of us stayed over at Jason and Kori's. I heard "whoa - it snowed alot last night" from alot of people this monring.

MAN

One of my work bros is moving to SF with his lady. He'll be missed. This pic was from a summer feature at work, and he still gets to hear about it. Heh.

I Want to be Adored

So when you don't have much to say, you just post pictures you ripped off the inna-nets.
#1

#2


I was flipping through the NME's 100 greatest albums ever. I guess these are the most 'British' sounding records. #5 is the new Arctic Monkeys. That record just came out 2 weeks ago, and I still don't 'get it.' WTF?

#1 is the s/t by Stones Roses circa 1989. I wondered why I didn't know this record backwards and forwards, so I picked it up on the work servers to see if I could dig it. So far, so good, but #1?

It just opens my eyes to American's view on British music. Loveless by MBV didn't even make the list. Uh, what? And the Smiths do about as good as the Stones and the Beatles, but the Smiths were HUGE over there. Like played on the radio and shit.

Most exciting thing eva

These pictures, as seen in Curbed.

Seriously a block from my house. Thinking about having a big food orgy the day it opens. Two Buck Chuck Anyone?

No, I wanted to get this tat!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well jeez, someone beat me to it. Guess I'll just get the the drum part, or the kid with his hand in the air part, but not the whole thing, nor the 'extra' embellishments, or nothing at all. Uh, there are no colored stars on the album cover.

Yeah, if I were to do this, I would do it so much better.

Rock and Roll will kill you

Check out the ways these rock stars have died.
