I play rochambeau with ghosts, take photos of space, and ride my bike in the bus lane.
I just heard Yo La Tengo cover this during Todd-O-Phonic Todd’s WFMU marathon show.
Where else are you going to hear the original version of this song (on the radio) let alone hear Yo La Tengo cover it? Please help me in supporting freeform radio in the NYC area and all over the world via internet at wfmu.org! Tune in now and see Yo La Tengo destroy more classics live!
I’m in the WFMU studios in Jersey City working the phones for the pledge marathon. Support freeform public radio! They only do this once a year folks! Pictured are Dave and Dominic and Trouble is in the DJ booth.
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.

Full disclosure: I got stung pretty badly by jellyfish as a kid which resulted in my shunning the ocean altogether for a few years. Nobody peed on me.

Over at kos, barbinmd has proposed some simple policy guidelines for executives who remain with bailed out institutions: “Executives at a failing company don’t get a bonus. Executives at a failing company don’t get a raise.” Simple answers to simple questions.
