Rocks Off Boat Cruise Photos

By hugh | Published: July 27, 2010

On July 20th 2010, I went on a Rocks Off boat cruise that cost only $10! What a deal! I took some pictures of the bands (Miniboone, The Naked Heroes, and the Mess Around) but they were all pretty blurry. I’ve seen all the bands before and they’re all great local acts from New York [...]

Grey Fox Bluegrass Fest

By hugh | Published: July 23, 2010

Last weekend I was at the Grey Fox bluegrass festival and despite most of my friends not showing up until the final day, I had a blast. I picked up a passenger from craigslist and her party was nice enough to let me camp with them in the shady trees that line the festival grounds. [...]

I took a ton of pix but I’m an editor. When was the last time you saw Sheep’s Meadow with no one there?

Made a Slideshow

I was fooling around with iPhoto and made this slideshow of mostly reject photos although some are published already. The music is “Thunderbird” by The Whitefield Brothers. They may ask me to take it down at some point… enjoy.

Fire Escape Performers

By hugh | Published: July 10, 2010

I caught this charming couple singing catchy tunes off a fire escape on 14th Street last night. This is on the stretch between 6th and 7th Avenue and across the street from the Salvation Army headquarters. I didn’t catch their names (their names escaped me?), but maybe they’ll see this and fill us in. The [...]

The Invisible Dog Gallery

I went to a CD release party for the guitar quartet called Dither a few weeks ago. Dither is emulating the Bang on a Can mission by producing casual concerts of new music in unique settings. Indeed, they are the group that graced the program cover for the recent Bang on a Can Marathon. The [...]

Twin Guns

By hugh | Published: July 5, 2010

I saw Twin Guns last week at Don Pedro. Grainy rock n roll black and white! I hope you had a good Independence Day. I saw the fireworks with Mormon Tabernacle Choir accompaniment. I hope some day we’ll watch them with Abyssinian Baptist Church Choir accompaniment.

Books Love the Kids

By hugh | Published: July 1, 2010

In the words of Jim Anchower, I know it’s been a long time since I rapped at ya. I have many photos to sort out and things to think about — and whether I’ll write more than two sentences about these things. In the meantime, here’s a short series from Bushwick, Brooklyn. I took these [...]
