Das Cartoon Lounge ist Racist

08 Aug 2009

There are two things you should be doing. One is reading The Cartoon Lounge section of the New Yorker Web site. The other is listening to “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell” by Das Racist. Wait there’s a third: clicking at least one of the hyperlinks in the preceding two sentences. Seriously, I put them [...]

If I were a recording artist signed to a major label, I would just tell my fans to download my music for free and mail me $2. Actually, I’d probably ask them to send me a ham sandwich, too. For laughs, duh!

Paula Abdul says she’s out city

05 Aug 2009

So, no more Paula Abdul on American Idol. Guess who won’t be watching the show anymore? If you guessed Hornblower, then you’re a damn fool, cos of course I never watched that show. Oh, wait. I did. For three episodes of season six, I watched only the performances by Melinda Doolittle, who was awfully good. [...]

Black Moth Super Rainbow at South Street Seaport – 24 July 2009

04 Aug 2009

It’s been a while since my last concert review that was actually hosted here. I’m sure you miss it. I know I do. We all do. It’s time for a return to form, of sorts. Yeah, I know this concert was a while ago. But don’t worry, because this review is brand new! Lovely. Just [...]

Tenement Street Workshop is a place for Happiness

23 Jul 2009

Go on over and observe some words on the subject of an event. Words I have written, words ye shall perhaps read. The event was a benefit for the Tenement Street Workshop artist collective. There was wine, and it was on a roof. What are you waiting for? Get over there.

More writing that you desire

11 Jul 2009

I come bearing tidings of further strings of words composed by yours truly. The piece in question may be found here. Go on over and check up on it. It tells the tale of a journey to Bruar Falls in Brooklyn, where the musical groups Real Estate, Air Waves, the Beets and Grooms played a [...]

Holy [the F word], who followed Crocodiles, at the Ottobar (Baltimore) – 24 May 2009

04 Jul 2009

I’ve censored the title of this post, for Decency’s sake. Decency is the name of my three-year-old niece who reads this Web log religiously. If you read the rest of this post, be warned that the band’s actual name will be used, most likely on more than one occasion. Also, for some reason, I somewhat [...]

Check the rum store to see if they carry codeine

01 Jul 2009

Here’s another link I’m going to offer to you, friend. Go on, explore. It’s a little something I wrote about a little band called the Antlers and a little rooftop called the roof at 350 Grand St, Manhattan and a little film called Humpday and a little open bar of a little beer called Radeberger [...]

Reach for the stars

23 Jun 2009

In honor of Passion Pit’s sold-out shows this weekend at the Bowery Ballroom, I thought I’d share a special little video with my dedicated readership. It’s a little Irish tune that might sound a bit familiar! Also, please do observe the little kid writhing in the aisle. And remember that this is a church. Lovely.
