Arlene’s

Holidays are pretty good.

 I’m a little….exhausted.. going to take an airborne or two.

I’m playing a solo set tonight at Arlene’s Grocery, 7 PM.

Open Wine Shelf Life

How long can you keep an open bottle of wine in the fridge before it starts getting weird?

New Christmas Outfit

This was twelve dollars well spent.

B train continued

B Train

Today on the B train I saw a woman reading a book called “Men Are Like Waffles”.

Wednesday Night Garbage Truck

I live down the  street from a very tall very fancy apartment building. Several times a week this apartment building throws a gigantic pile of miscellaneous trash a few doors down so its right across from my window. Then a secret privatey private private garbage truck named Jem comes by around 1 AM to pick it up. I can hear it down the block let off a little puff of a steam and then await the most pleasant part of my week. This evening I was feeling crafty and whipped out my computer to record a clip. I am convinced that fancypants apartment must have soundproof walls, otherwise SOMEONE in there would be complaining about this. Luckily every single other person on the block gets to look forward to Wednesday night garbage truck. Lucky for everyone, I recorded a few seconds of Wednesday Night Garbage Truck so it can be experienced by all. Next week will include photo accompaniment. Click here to listen to a terrible sound recorded at 12:03 AM.

Goodnight!

Shows, Shows

Tune into BTR today – my new live show BTR Live Studio – on this week’s show I was lucky enough to have The Inner Banks. They’ve just released their self-titled debut album (a collaboration after several successful prior projects) and are very nice! I wrote about them on there a while back after hearing a song of theirs on 3hive.

In more personal show-related news. I’ll be performing at Arlene’s Grocery in NYC the day after Christmas.

Sunday Morning

I’m sitting here in the living room listening to the new joanna newsom album. i think its very good.

a friend of mine just told me it takes great pain to make a person switch over to the left side of their brain. how interesting, i had never really thought about that before.

I acquired a poinsettia last night. Is it true that the red parts are actually another type of leaf and not flowers at all?

Discovered a strange semi-historical cartoon this morning on network TV somewhere. It was all about benjamin franklin and seceeding from England and printing presses and ladies in pettycoats and a French stow-away.

 It turns out that a boca burger is the last thing you should eat at 11 AM sunday morning.

The steam pipe is wailing in the bathroom. There are people streaming into the church down the street. It looks like a fine blue skied day out there.  I wish my guitar had all 6 strings on it. One of these days it will get what it needs.

I do not want to clean up my apartment. 

This album is beautiful.
