Just got back from doing some freelance work in Florida and visiting with my parents. God how I wish I could have taken my vote with me down there instead of by absentee ballot in New York last Friday. So after months and months and months of obsessing over the election, I stayed up late watching the polls come in, hoping for some sort of miracle. ( Read more... )

i can't wait for these elections to be finished. i've become obsessed with the news, newsblogs, polls, i can't stop thinking about november 2. i just want to see some miracle headline stating "kerry pulls ahead with a double-digit lead." unfortunately, that's not the case. instead we get a president who isn't just playing the usual political game;  ( Read more... )

You know how you have to take breaks from really wonderful records, no matter how much you love them? It's been a couple of years since I last listened to Village Green Preservation Society from start to finish, but I just got in this Kinks mood and holy shit!

Bloody hell... I just typed a long entry and hit spell check and completely lost it. Anyway, I'll post again, hopefully shorter. I don't know where the week went? Aside from dinner in Little Italy with some friends on Monday night, I've been working like crazy. The fall season is here, so that means lots of new record releases. For my job, I put ( Read more... )

It's going to be a great show! This all goes down at the Delancey on Saturday, and starts at 10 ( Read more... )

Jeesuz, it's 3 a.m. and my head is still throbbing. This morning was one of those days where you wake up and can't remember how you got home let alone made it to your bed. I stumbled over to my computer and ended up reading a pretty funny entry on gawker.com about last night. It really wasn't that far off. Upstairs, the club was way over capacity, ( Read more... )

I'm playing records at the Franz Ferdinand aftershow party this Thursday night.

So I get to the store's Chelsea business office early today and there's one of my bosses sitting at the table with Mary-Kate Olsen and some business person. I was kind of baffled at why our shop would have anything to do with the Olsen twins and felt extremely underdressed having chosen to dress super casual in shorts and a t-shirt.
