Ms. W is Out Today
A very short story of mine, Ms. W is Out Today, recently hit the newsstands in the latest issue of Pomp & Circumstance Magazine. Look for it in NYC, and check their myspace page for distribution across the country. Here’s an excerpt: You were sick with a cold the night I flew to London. I [...]
Kingdom
Dave Gahan’s new video for “Kingdom” is a light storm of radiant simplicity. I’ve watched it at least a dozen times. I love the police car. There’s something about that image that stays with me.
Droppin’ a beat like Sgt. Slaughter
Here’s a video I shot of Wythe and Adrian, Saturday night. Yes, I know you can barely see anything. It was dark, and we were out in the hinterlands of Bushwick, which, with the lights on, looks like the set of Double Dragon.
Into the wee hours with the Hourly Radio
I spent all of yesterday hanging out with the band, eating Morrocan food, shooting press photos, and hearing all about their new song “Sons & Daughters” for the upcoming Two Blue Wolves Soundtrack. I caught their CMJ performance later that night at Crash Mansion where the opened for IAMX. THR sounded incredible – unfortunately, the [...]
Poem / I am a bell tower
Here’s a poem I found in one of my notebooks. I’m not sure when I wrote it, probably a couple weeks ago. I’m posting this for a friend who is going through a sad time. I am a bell tower I am a bell tower. And one morning all my bells will ring. And they [...]
He’s in control
I saw Anton Corbijn’s new film this weekend, Control, the biopic about Ian Curtis and the birth and death of Joy Division. I went into it with low expectations. I had to. I’m too much of a fan of all the parties involved not to. I was worried that the relatively unknown actor, Sam Riley, [...]
What’s at the end of the Rainbow for EMI?
It looks like Asad‘s theory proved correct. Radiohead’s In Rainbows may be the album that sends the music industry over the tipping point. Here’s a letter that was leaked from Terra Firma chief Guy Hands to his troops at newly acquired EMI. http://hypebot.typepad.com/hypebot/2007/10/full-text-of-le.html
In studio w/ The Hourly Radio
I just dowloaded a few of the photos from THR‘s studio session with Stuart Sikes. I especially liked this photo of Aaron – Nothing powers you through an indie rock ballad like a mothership of Gatorade. Ryan called me to talk about the story while they were making a few final tweaks to “Sons & [...]
The revolution will be downloaded
I spent the weekend hanging out with my friend Asad Jaferi, an entertainment lawyer who works for BMI, specializing in copyright law. We were talking about Radiohead‘s new album In Rainbows and the band’s choice to sell it exclusively on their website where fans are allowed to pay what they wish. According to the reports [...]
Two Blue Wolves 101
So what did we learn at Bennington College‘s Alumni Weekend? 1) You can’t beat a drag queen at karaoke. 2) Hotwiring a golf cart is harder than you think. 3) No one’s too old for a Walk of Shame. Two Blue Wolves took over Bennnington campus this past Friday with two bands from the soundtrack [...]
The Hourly Radio & 2BW – in studio with Stuart Sikes
The Hourly Radio are recording their song, “Sons & Daughters,” for the Two Blue Wolves Soundtrack with legendary producer Stuart Sikes. Just to give you a sense of how amazing this is: Stuart just finished working with Cat Power on the new covers album, and now he’s working with us! Here’s what Ryan from THR [...]
Heavy Rotation – October
Look for Underworld‘s new full length, Oblivion With Bells. If you’re a fan of their work on Second Toughest in the Infants, you’re in for a treat. Oblivion takes us on a journey back to those familiar night-shaded cities and neon thoroughfares. This month’s list features one of my favorite tracks from the album. Beautiful [...]
