On the Onramp
This music post is kicking my ass. I should write a book.

I’m working on a long post about music. Woohoo!
Incredible Moviemaking
I tweeted this or something but Coraline must be seen if you like movies (and the website is pretty good too). Scouts honor.
Doing What I Can for Saturday Summer Streets
These two pics show bikes for rent on Governor’s Island.
New York is doing this “open streets” event, Summer Streets, for three Saturdays in a row (8/8, 8/15, 8/22) but whoever’s in charge of publicizing it, is doing a strange job of it. Is it for people who have never ridden a bike to work? Is it for bike activists? What happens at the stations on the map? Besides being hard to find, the website is vague on all this.
Here’s the gist: NO CARS ON PARK AVENUE, some free bikes to use (although most people will bring their own), some exercise classes, some vendors, and some entertainers. Do the whole circuit on the map and see what happens.
Giant Wind Chimes
I uploaded this to Youtube today. I shot it during “Punk Rock Island” around a month ago and it’s funny that you can’t hear any punk rock in the background. Since I uploaded it, I researched and found another post about them and also that FIGMENT* is related. Rock on kids.
Update: My bad. You can hear punk rock in the background.
Old Technology For Sale
This is a pile of CDs for which I will be entering a UPC code and putting up for sale online. Most are fetching $3-7 but a few are fetching a whopping 15ยข and I sold a few rarities for $29 and $40. I’m impressed some people still pay for this little package of music.
