Twin Guns

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.

High Line at Night

I finally went to the completed High Line which I saw way before the renovation thanks to OHNY. It’s probably the most unique/odd renovated space in any urban environment. In this case, WFMU was broadcasting a live show. I’ll be back. My old cheap camera seems incapable of taking sharp night shots anymore–maybe because I [...]

TV Noir, Culture, and the Internet

True TV noir started with The X-Files. Twilight Zone was black and white and nobody picked up the ball when it stopped. Anyway, before Molly proposed her question and got some answers, I was thinking about the evolution of the internet while The X-Files traversed the 90s. I’m sure others have written about this but [...]

Jersey Shore Diorama

This little gem is just off the waiting room for New Jersey Transit trains at Penn Station. I never would have discovered if I hadn’t had to meet my parents in Newark last week to pick up Fyyffer, my car. Usually, I would drive to the Jersey Shore which — until the eponymous TV show [...]

Slept at the Airport

I almost set up a self-timer shot of me sleeping on a heating vent. My night is recorded a little bit on facebook. I arrived in DC to find Reagan National Airport packed to the gills. At the bar, I shared a table with a man and woman who both had flights that were delayed [...]

Dig at the Root of the Problem

I wrote a long post about politics and the health care bill but I trashed the whole thing after reading about a poll indicating how utterly vacuous and stupid some Americans are. At a bar, I had to listen to someone tell me Rome fell because of gays in their military. I would really like [...]

Teenage Wasteland

I’m not sure how I didn’t get around to seeing Over the Edge until now. (Holy crap, the whole movie is posted on Youtube in 10 parts!) I was totally in this movie’s target demographic at the time it was made. My family Christmas card in 1977 shows me wearing a Yes belt buckle just [...]

Blizzard Pix Are So February

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 [...]

I Didn’t Want Those Tiles

Litterbugs bug the crap outta me. I picked these up myself and carried them to a street garbage can. Me=hero. Blogging while DJing.

Christmas in Zoom

These were taken 20 seconds apart and yet it’s pretty hard to find one person in both shots. I can.

Spider Ferns

Why do these plants produce flowers when they have their whole fern plop it over there schtick? The answer is probably on wikipedia.

Sunday Blabfest

I have luggage that needs to be sorted and I don’t mean I took a trip. I was disappointed that Bill Moyers is retiring before Oprah. If you want a great talking heads fest with Bill, check out this web exclusive with Glenn Greenwald. Find out why I’m disillusioned with Barack Obama and politics in [...]
