Oren Ambarchi / Boris / Sunn O))) @ Avalon; New York, NY

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

Not much traffic heading into the city yesterday, there were plenty of tickets left for the show at 6pm when we got to the Irving Plaza box office. Met Ian’s old lady for dinner at the Heartland Brewery location near Union Square and tried their Belgian Cherry Chocolate Stout. It was nice. Got to Avalon [...]

Memorial Day

Monday, May 29th, 2006

Enjoy your day off, those of you who have jobs. Sit outside, drink some booze, go for a swim…Do whatever it is people do on this day. Oh yeah, and remember those departed and thank any veterans that may cross your path.
Me? I made some buttons for the side column of this site, and watched [...]

SUNDAY MIX TAPE – VOLUME 17

Sunday, May 28th, 2006

I hope you all are having a good Memorial Day weekend. Mine has bee nice, thanks for asking. This weather is unbelievable. Yesterday I just kind of loped around town running errands and then relaxed all evening. Today I met up with two very near and dear friends of mine, Sam and Lindsey. We hung [...]

Stars Fallin’ – No More World Wars

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

It’s come to the point where I don’t need to cash all my paychecks just to live week-to-week. I can put one in the bank, which I’m going to do in a few minutes. Too bad I still have to buy an extension cabinet for my HH amp, which is probably going to set me [...]

Remember Not to Remember. Ever.

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

I watched that “Oprah Goes to Auschwitz” program last night at 2am, and boy was it ever depressing! I read a blurb about it on Gawker the other day, but I just thought it was some kind of sick joke, taking Eli Wiesel back to his old “death marching ground” if you will…Her idiocy [...]

Swan Fungus Orchestra: Studio Evan Studios 1 Recording Session

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

Despite operating on an inordinate amount of sleep the night before, I remained in a pretty good mood throughout yesterday. Maybe I was just running on fumes…I don’t know. Nevertheless, when Ilya called to say he was going to be in town and we should jam, I jumped at the opportunity to rally the troops [...]
