Street Machines, Street Keepers

They’ve been repairing the streets uptown at night. The other night a hole by my house was smoking like Krakatoa. Thanks to all who keep the infrastructure of NYC going!

Knitting My Curls with Nebula

Stoner rockers can’t wait to bang their heads I can’t take a rock band picture with my camera to save my life (without flash which I don’t use because flashes bug me when I’m onstage) so here’s another bar shot. Nebula and Totimoshi and Orphan performed last night at the Knitting Factory for a great [...]

Sunday in Williamsburg

vintage motor party 0808 I spent the day in Williamsburg with the first part at a motorcycle party (which I can’t find any link for), then in line for the Yo La Tengo show which sucked even though I wasn’t there. My friend Eva left the line and went home and then I left the [...]

Talk Radio Sandwich

Dirty bannisters never go out of style I celebrated Obama’s VP pick by making an avocado sandwich on multigrain bread with Bavarian mustard, Havarti cheese, romaine lettuce and Florida tomato. I have knighted it the Biden Sandwich. What’s happening to good New York news and talk radio? WNYC moved into its new home on Prince [...]

Saw Me in a Mag

More photos of the 200 Guitars debacle over at Prefix Magazine. I’m in two of them with the rain hair. It wasn’t really a debacle, just sort of a big disappointment. It would’ve been a debacle if we all started playing and got electrocuted. I wish I had a socialized more during the rehearsals but [...]

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

A Michael Jackson/Johnny Cash moment in Walk Hard I didn’t think all that much of Walk the Line, The Ray Charles Story, La Bamba, Sweet Dreams, The Doors Movie, or even Sid and Nancy. All took their subject matters too seriously to a fault cramming all the iconic cliches of legendary music careers into Hollywood [...]

Happy Anniversary

Joe, Julie, Caiti, Cisco, Vince, me, Sandy, Mac, Guerneville, California A year ago at this time, I was with my family in California celebrating my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, an achievement reserved for the few, the little bit crazy, the ever-loving lucky. Four of my siblings may also win this gold medal. This week my [...]

200 Guitars Cancelled

Great rehearsal photos at Brooklyn Vegan. My music stand is in a couple. As a couple of the commenters at BV noted, the management could’ve easily informed the crowd earlier of their decision to silence the guitars. There were contingency plans to perform the piece in the rehearsal space — the church — and the [...]

Now That’s a Big Organ

guitars amok if you look closely Rehearsal tonight sounded great and I’m sorry I was a skeptic. This is the beautiful church where we got to blast the heavens. There are rain plans. Are you watching the Olympics? I’m not.

Amplification

Can’t wrap my 3D fence around it I’ve been rehearsing the Crimson Grail with over 200 guitarists and these massive guitar orchestra composers never seem to learn anything from each other. The score is in letter sequences that don’t follow one another. Solution: Provide a score that explains the parts in between your cues. Granted, [...]
