Last night me and Allison cookieguggelman, tempted fate and headed out to Hoboken on Friday the 13th. We met up with the lovely and talented beamishgirl at the legendary Maxwells to catch the band Rye coalition play a set ( Read more... )

I was talking to my friend Eddie about bass playing. He told me “sometimes I think I’m not playing notes as much as I’m playing the spaces between the notes.” He explained to me that the empty spaces between what he played were as important as what he played, that each took its form from the other.

It's been fun watching cookieguggelman gain confindence in her photography. When I first met her she was really good but since she's gotten her new camera she's really been making progress with her art. Every month we try to go to a few places and have her take some shots.

Well, where to I start? I've been working on building the studio. We've been soundproofing the walls with a compressed rubber material that's mainly used to line the walls inside an engine room on a boat.
