NB original "interpretation" indeed

Last week Apple became the technology company with the most bajillions of dollars, knocking Microsoft out of the #1 spot and making Steve Jobs the iMan. But it turns out that the iProduct comes with an iAgenda - and it totally sucks. I have a Macbook and I have an iPhone. I also love iTunes, it ...
Icanhaz! I was going to write about Love Exposure for my blog post today until I saw that Bronwyn already wrote about the Japan Society Film Festival (love exposure was a sold out hit last year) I finally watched it this weekend - maybe next week I will post some of the upcoming line up..

I Saw Robogeisha, and It Was ...
fine. It was fine, or even good, and pretty funny. But you know how it is when you want something, and think about it, and anticipate it, and fantasize about it ...mmmmmmm....and then you get it, and it's just not that big a deal anymore? Well, I have been living in a Robogeisha frenzy since...

The Feelies and the Hoboken Sound
In addition to the WFMU supported 4th of July concert (link) the Feelies are playing two shows at Maxwell's on July 1st and 2nd. Thanks to the time sensitive email from Brian Turner I was able to buy a pair of tickets before they sold out, in I think an hour. In anticipation of all this fantasti...

thanks mucho!
Country Fuzz Spectacular (MP3s)
The racket made by a fuzztone guitar has been described as the sound of two bees fighting inside of a tin can. Ask your friends to give you an example of this crazy menacing sound and they're likely to name Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones. Or maybe they'll refer you to Jimi Hendrix, The ...

Landmarks: The First White Child Born In...
A friend of mine got a call from a road tripping pal who ranted about a strange monument he had encountered in some nowhere town in Kansas - a monument to 'the first white child born.' For some reason I found myself wanting to see what this ridiculous monument could possibly look like...
I'm with you on that one James, the king kat HC is a beautiful book from a true artist. I don't want to bog this post down with new stuff though, old books make for fine summer reading as well.
Summer Reading
This summer I really hope to take a crack at the steadily rising pile of unread books in my apartment. It doesn’t help that you can now take your laptop to the park (free wireless in Tompkins – who woulda thunk) – but for those of us determined to hold on to old fashioned technology I offer up a...
Mike I was eating at Haveli's when you walked by! (first time too - not bad - but yes, $$) As for the competing fire-trap dives, One weekend as I was walking by I witnessed a gaggle of well dressed young people arguing over the oft-overheard legend that one of the two eateries is actually 'better than the other' when a weather-beaten old timer walking along side of me growled out: "Fuggetabout it - they both suck" !!
Swan Song on Sixth Street
A temporary pause in the customary blog action to mourn the closing of Sonali, a personal favorite pitstop on the Indian restaurant block of 6th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues in NYC. I'm not sure exactly when it closed, but I snapped this sad picture last night while on my way to meet a fr...

Pouring Some Beer on the Curb for Charles Bukowski

Ape Rape - The Future of TV
I recently used the Internets to download Armando Iannucci's television program Time Trumpet (link). The year is 2031 and Armando chats with guests, including old timers like Bob Geldof, Tom Cruise, and David Beckham about the past. It's an amazing show and while you can't get a DVD yet the we...
Obviously the veil will be the 6th screen.
The Pretty Screens
I must admit that the IPhone excites me more than I wish it did. But it is so damn purty! And I love imagining all the ExpensiveUglyHandheldJunk.com CEOs freaking out over it. I also believe that this device heralds the actual arrival of the much ballyhooed 4th screen - the portable screen, (f...
Brian all your live shows are so much fun to listen to! this is a total total GEM

Video of The Ex at WFMU
It took me a little while to get rolling on hosting live performances at WFMU over the years; I was more or less content to observe the goings on of the Stork Club brodcasts and such before I really started taking it on frequently around 2002. But it's been so much fun; I've had the severe plea...

MP3 Truffles: Rare live recordings and crazy fun music from around the internet
The mp3 blog Kwaya Na Kisser is a great place to pick up some rare live and demo recordings. Two incredibly popular recent posts sapped their bandwith, but a little jiggering and now they seem to be back and working fine. So head over there while you still can and pick up Lou Reed & Nico - The...
dear above 2 comments - the post in question by no means celebrates torture or murder - um... it does say WORST joke heard... This video is one of the most important pieces of video to ever hit the internet, and I find it fascinating that Bush claims he hasn't even watched it (which is why I wanted to blog about the conspiracy)
A Texan and an Iraqi walk into a room
Worst post execution joke I have heard thus far: Q: What was Saddam's last word? A: Shiiiite Best post execution conspiracy theory I have heard thus far: The hooded guy who puts the noose around Saddam's neck (the same guy who afterwards dances the jig around the limp dic-tator) is actually G...
Nathan Barley may be post dot cock bubble - but the fact that the idiots fall for the very things that are mocking them make the show seem timeless, plus.. the cruelty of Nathan Barley is pretty amazing to watch as well.
Chris Morris
I was in London last week and I had two things on my to-do list. 1 - visit Pocahontas’ grave in Kent, and 2 - stalk my hero Chris Morris (at one point I sadly lost my grip on reality and imagined I would be able to convince Mr. Morris to accompany me to Kent). Well, the screwy trains kept me f...

Danny Fields on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Danny says: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has good catering, but other than that... "At my last meeting, I nominated Yoko Ono, made myself a pastrami sandwich and walked out, never to return." "As for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...the doors have been shut for quite some time already [James...

Hippies Like Cheese
Hello, everybody, nice seeing you again. Apparently it is okay to eat spinach again, now that the organic farmers of California have been persuaded to stop putting human feces on their crops. I don’t understand why coprophagy is supposed to be healthy for you, but a lot of the hippies who pro...
