  1. modern music

    me: I really feel like I have no idea what’s going on in music. I don’t like that feeling. It’s unusual.

    jesse: I think it’s called chillwave.
     
     

  2. on jesse’s strengths

    jesse:  The story behind that is that Brett Scallions or whatever his name was quit, they tried to find a different singer, he tried to find a different band. Neither were successful. He started touring as Re-Fueled, then eventually got the rights to do it as Fuel with him and the guy from Buckcherry.
    …
    Just a ton of sadness there.
    me:  If there were mid- to low-tier alt rock trivia somewhere, you. would. kill. it.
    jesse:  Probably. Particularly if it included a karaoke portion.

     
     

  3. kisses and good advice

    me:  Somebody brought a bag of Hershey kisses. I have not had any, but damn are they tempting. Also did not eat my fortune cookie, which is a bummer, since the fortune was “You will inherit some money from an unexpected source.” BUT NOW I WON’T.
     Katie:  WELL FUCK.
     me:  THANKS, NO SUGAR FOR A WHILE.
     Katie:  Aww. I’d have eaten like ten billion kisses. And I don’t even like them all that much. That’s just what happens when they’re right there.
     me:  I like chocolate, they are chocolate. That’s also the problem with work. There are always little treats lying around. It’s like a motherfucking witch trail, man. HANSEL ET GRETEL.
     Katie:  Does [employer redacted] have a basement full of frightened children that they’ve lured there?
     me:  I AM THE CHILDREN
     Katie:  OH. metaphor. Gotcha.
    …
     WAIT, unless it’s not a metaphor, in which case STAY AWAY FROM OVENS.

  8. Video by Adam Tow. Song by We Became Actors.

    My band recently released our first album, Something Major, and I asked Adam to shoot this video for the release show. Originally conceived as a sort of visual finale to be projected on the band as we played, it’s not quite an official music video for ‘Knights of the Bright Side’. Still, $80 in sparklers later, I think it stands on its own.

    Jay-Z
    My President Is Black (Remix)

    Saturday afternoon Joe and Lauren invited me over for a very necessary Bloody Mary. After watching the ridiculous and nearly perfect new Beastie Boys video, we reminisced about how the three of us spent the night of November 4, 2008 within a block of each other on the West Bank without knowing it (and without Joe and Lauren, now married, knowing each other), how everyone spilled out into the street ‘Obama drunk’, as Joe put it, and celebrated wildly into the autumn night. Jay-Z’s remix of the original (and inferior) Young Jeezy track reminds me of that night, of being Obama drunk, of the buoyant hope that, sadly, feels far more than two and a half years distant.
