This is endearing.  I love these two so who knows if I’d like this vid if it weren’t them.  What’s up with that ending though?

hey it’s gators’ first show ever and we’re stoked to be sharing the bill with Tijuana and Deserter! Jan 7, Glasslands, 9pm, 3 bones (sorry), free booze (yay!) and lots of soothing pop rock(saweeet).  come loaded and bring some babesssssss

RIP to Craig Murphey, one year ago. Those of us who knew him were blessed to say the least.  It was weird this past year; meeting new people and making new friends because of him and through his death.  Seeing the tattoos on folks, the variations, the love shown is all a reminder of his presence.  Friends of Murph, acquaintances and those who should have known him are all invited in a get together tomorrow night in his honor to have some fun and a dance a bit the way he did

Aside from the Built to Spill/Dinosaur Jr/Meat Puppets show at Terminal 5

and also aside from the Denali show at Wburg Music Hall

There are a few other jams happening:

The FoTP boys havin a party with new lovers Tijuana

Daryl’s DJin at this shindig, with those other people

Craze. + T&B folk.

Fittingly, I think I’ll start this one off with just that title!

MAN EATS 23,000 BIG MACS IN 36 YEARS (CNN)

Ditte couldn’t stop raving about this new Megapuss stuff, Devendra’s little side ditty, and I tell ya what…I dig it.  Monster Jams. Here’s their myspace

I’ve got some weird passion for Tesla Coils right now.  I mean, they’ve always been tight but for some reason right now they’re TIIIIIGHT.  Must be all the lazers in my brain. Tesla Downunder is killing as far as hot tesla websites out there right now, I mean I’d say top 3 Tesla Coil fansites goin right now. Definitely on their way to the top. Out of sight.

Oh you thought I was kidding? No, I don’t kid about Tesla Coils. They’re too tight for kidding.

Creation Nation - On the Street 2006

Dancin in the Dark rehearsals
 

I think babyballs sent this one over…what a poof! take that, jersey!

Another from Ditte, is this old news? pretty cute. think i’m gonna do a subtitling for it. got any funny ideas? let’s make it!

Our favorite rapper/pit bull fighter/theoretician has spoken and the masses are a listenin, lemme tell ya what! This dude’s dead on, whatever he says, I do.  If he were Master P he would make me say “unh” if he were kris kross he’d make me jump.  Read the prophets words here:

Are you following the presidential race?

Not at all.

You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.

His name is Barack?!

Barack Obama, yeah.

Barack?! Barack. What the f**k is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?

Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.

Barack Obama?

Yeah.

What the f**k?! That ain’t no f**kin’ name, yo. That ain’t that ni**a’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the f**k outta here.

You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.

I ain’t really paying much attention.

I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black… 

Wow, Barack! The ni**a’s name is Barack. Barack? Ni**a named Barack Obama. What the f**k, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his f**kin’ name. Ima tell this ni**a when I see him, “Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit” [laughs] “That ain’t your f**kin’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no damn Barack.

And this reflection on the artist’s life:

What were you doing in between—from the last album to this one, that whole time? What have you been up to?

Life. I been up to that. It’s been crazy. Fuckin’ police keep on fuckin’ raiding my house and shit for nothing. They took all my fuckin’ guns. All they did is take is take my guns. All they fuckin’ do is fuck my house up and take my guns. That’s all they did. Straight robbed me—that’s what they did.

Check out the article at The Daily Dish w Andrew Sullivan

pretty sure this was on the soup. they should make a soup out of this kids brains.  and the kid who made this vid. me likey. from yo gabba gabba and the brain of some stoner

And lastly…Vero I’m terribly sorry but I just have to put this up, it’s too funny to be real.  Slow Mo Vero! Jerkinoff dude! hahahahaha

JellyNYC slipnslides  the highlight of the shows this summer for sure. 

that’s all, get back to work

always with the flyers…flyer flyer flyer flyer flyer. know what i miss? those rasta colored show flyers on telephone poles…

like this, only not the blues brothers and something you’d actually want to see. otis redding or something.  whatever, printed flyers are the bees tits. peter coffin’s got a blank print like this and it’s lovely as all hell, i just cant find an image online right now.  while i was looking for flyer examples i came across this one and i love it:

how good is that right?

Christine asked me to make her a flyer for her bday party and i’m pretty stoked on the results, its in LA so I can’t go but i bet it’ll be fuuuunnnnnnn:

yeah so that’s it. it’s fun.

and on to the actual things happening here in nyc:

WESC is having a great looking party and a killer afterparty

Dewars and Colossal are having this painting party where you drink free dewars and are given paint to mess around with i guess. RSVP at colossalmedia.net/rsvp

this it TRACEs big stagefarm shakedown party. at this new location, the bell house which looks great really, in gowanus. dont be confused. i think it’s 20 bones and im not sure if theres free booze but it promises to be a great party and stockbauer is hosting it, not much more to be said than that.

aaaan tijuana, who are amazingly playing so often for just starting it’s impressive. and these dudes so so glos who we played with at that colt show who look like complete idiots but play great pop songs. this is a great flyer, btw to whomever made it.

party on garth

that’s about explanatory enough! Finger on the Pulse BBQ tomorrow at Hope Lounge at 7pm.  

Then my girl Texas is DJing on Friday night at Beauty Bar

Some snaps from fam visit, boat tour, mccarren, wburg bridge party friday night, babes, booze, buds etc etc what else is new in summer?

tonight at the charleston, lets go have some fun with the dudes

here’s some more, there should be some other new ones on the way too. the funny thing is that these photos don’t actually sum up all the wildness and fun of this summer because i’ve just left all the picture taking to Ben Ritter and all of those are over here: http://canweplease.blogspot.com

so my camera hasn’t really been active, and these are just the shots i like and that i’ve enjoyed. therefore, many good things and people not specifically shown here that totally should and for that i’m sorry.
