Múm

Múm is an Icelandic band I’ve been mesmerized by for the past five or six years. Their music just has so much feeling and seeing them live in Seattle, as one of the members said, on such “…a beautiful Fall day,” was breathtaking. Also being able to get a glimpse at all of [...]

Fool’s Gold

Friggin’ A Trak man. I remember when he pulled this off. He was 15. Cocky little shite, but rightfully so though.
He’s been DJing all over in the 11 years since and has now started a record label with some great artists on it called Fool’s Gold. Some of the artists currently [...]

Not Just the Sixth Planet Anymore

My neighbor’s automobile is a Saturn. It’s new, sits on nice rims, has dark tint, a DUB decal and a clean shiny paint job. I’ve oftentimes seen him getting out of his car and giving her a nice rub-down with a soft, clean cloth before entering his home. It’s definitely the car [...]

Night Birds

It’s 3:53PM, I hear birds chirping to each other.
At 3:53AM, I will still hear birds chirping to each other.
What is there issue with sleeping? Or at least being quiet during normal people’s sleeping hours.
The roomie’s conjecture? Light pollution.

Party

Every weekend there seems to be a very loud party in my neighborhood.
Is it time time to start party crashing?

Neighborhood Watch/Crime Pt. 2

Working late, as usual. We just heard about 12-14 gunshots outside. They were pretty close and now the whirly bird is hovering and searching.
Good luck and godspeed gentlemen.

“Until The Warriors Return To The Coney Isle Wonder Wheel”

I’m a capitalist, but I don’t like to see the entire world gentrified with condos and track homes. It is places like Coney Island that still add character into the American cityscape. I’ve never even been that deep in Brooklyn, but it means something to me.
Now New York’s famed amusement park faces a [...]

Elliott Smith

Lucky Three

A very pretty three-song documentation of Elliott Smith in Portland, Oregon. The three songs are: “Between the Bars,” “Thirteen,” & “Angeles.”
Run Time 11:43

Strange Parallel
Directed by Steve Hanft
A partly non-sensical documentary about music, writing songs, and something about a Robot Hand. Smith was in New York during [...]

Just Something German to Ponder

I just found this fascinating and engaging for a moment.
The subtle difference of “lied” and “leid.”
“das lied der frauen” is “the song of the women.”
“das leid der frauen” is “the wrong of the women.”
I’m sure my grammar is no more advanced than a 3 year-old, but I still like the way these words look typed/written [...]

Neighborhood Watch/Crime

I left my home to get some food and the Cops had a couple streets blocked off. I heard from the ghetto bird, “This is the Los Angeles Police Department. We know you’re hiding because if you were moving we would see you. If you surrender now, the dog won’t be used.” [...]
