February Live Music Reviews

By hugh | Published: February 28, 2010
I saw a number of friends’ bands over the last couple of weeks and thought I’d give them all reviews and plugs. Spanglish Fly, Feb 19, Rose, Brooklyn — I’ve known the leader of Spanglish Fly, trumpeter Jonathan Goldman, for about eight years as he played on the corporate softball team I coached. He led [...]

Trudgin’ Across the Tundra

By hugh | Published: February 28, 2010
I’m pretty sure I posted a photo of the gobbling gargoyles before. You can read about them here. I also posted a bunch more snow pictures in the February Blizzard Pix gallery. It’s true you can have too many snow pictures as I edited out plenty.

Someday, all the countries and insurrections that want weapons will have to buy them on TV.

My Old Cranky Cat

By hugh | Published: February 20, 2010
My cat, Sweetie Pea, is Mrs. Cranky Pants. I guess that happens. She’s the twin of the dude from last year. At the same time, she’s more of a truck than he was. After this, I have to post a real picture for the cat internets.

More Great Uptown Music

By hugh | Published: February 16, 2010
I’ve been spending more evenings at the Manhattan School of Music. I can’t say enough great things about this institution. They have a whole other level of performance instruction Juilliard doesn’t touch!

Easy Curry

By hugh | Published: February 16, 2010
A friend who knows I love Indian food gave me a packet of Rasoi Magic Veg Kolhapuri Mix. If you’re looking for an easy way to get into cooking your own Indian food, this is it. For this one, you literally just add vegetables and tomatoes (and some oil). The salt is included. No MSG [...]

Let’s Watch a Movie

By hugh | Published: February 13, 2010
I rewatched the movie Them! which I probably haven’t seen since I was a kid. For a 50s B-sci-fi flick, Them! rocks! Some cliches of Hollywood and lessons in fear-mongering, sexism, and racism were de rigueur. In this first set, the aged scientist schools the Washington idiots on how it’s going down. More pix after [...]

Blizzard Pix Are So February

By hugh | Published: February 12, 2010
After taking these pictures at Straus Park (not the fire escape ones), I sat in a bar with a million TVs and there was nothing but snow news: talking to plowers, motorists, sledding kids, moms at the shopping mall and why the hell are they at the shopping mall, and mayors talking about how many [...]

Honey, the Car Was on Fire

By hugh | Published: February 7, 2010
I like the pool of melted foam plastic under the passenger door. I was going to take more pictures but the cop on duty didn’t want me to. It’s not like I work for the insurance company.

Lockdown

Scared by how completely insane the right is (read the comments too) and also scared by the left being completely blind.
