Still dawning the Bad Blake duds from Crazy Heart, Jeff Bridges released a self-titled debut album produced by non-other that the T-Bone Burnett. His voice really ties the sound together. Far out, man. Far out.

"I'm Your Huckleberry..." Indeed!

Who is this? Yes, Mark Twain. But who is this portraying Mark Twain? Do you recognize the famous movie quote from the Title? Yes, you are correct, it is not Dennis Quaid!

I was just arguing about the integrity of Val to a few friends. Apparently he's trying to get a Twain film financed. I think we can all agree the lead part is sewn up.

Better Late Than Never

For someone who only recently discovered the joy of songs like "Elvis Presley Blues," "Revelator," and "Ruination Day (Part 2)," I am excited to see what eight years of meditation and sowing can produce: check out the album review here.

Saturn Return

But you did go go go
And now you're gone
I know better
It's walking-in on

It's not a clinic
It's not a club
It's a foot rub

Grafting while waiting
And laughing/menstruating
Spiralling shimmying
Always approaching
Whisper me something
Wherever you are
I wanna hear

Guess what they guessed the average is.

Picked up this book a while back... after hearing about it somewhere (wish I could remember where). Started digging into it again the past couple of days and stumbled upon this passage...

"...the revolution would bring better parks to New York, and beautiful places to live, and day-care centers, and hospices. Her idea was that New York should be human. Now, this is simply a mistake. New York is an inhuman machine put together to serve the most ambitious interests of a certain part of American secular society. It has human aspects, because human needs must be me before ambitions can proceed toward realization, but the fulfillment of those human needs is an uninteresting precondition of the life of the ambitions. In human terms, there is no reason to live in New York, and if New York were to become a city in which day-care centers and hospices were the dominant institutions, it would soon be depopulated."

Apropos! The book is an intense scorching (er...perspective) of what media has done to humans. For a more... democratic context, please see the internets.

Here it is published in the New Yorker.

A review of the re-release by John Irving.

Also, what are YOUR thoughts on Dan Rather?

I said, What IS Up Doc?

Nattybo posted a while back about the monumental feat that Doc Ellis acheived. Appears the saga continues.

Imagine — and there ya go.

Remember Archie? Well, he and his took an idea and started a world.

A Red Blooded Mother Fucker

Just came across this and had to share. Reading about this man — as we do annually — never grows dull. In times of Great Complacency, may we each excite the very strength of our own intolerance.

Check out this new video I helped produce! It's so funny, HAHAHAHAHA!

Anyone else see this? Apparently it's from about a year ago although some folks like Daily Swarm just picking up on it now. I hadn't seen it.

The Rise of Eraser Aesthetics

When I think the "Eraser," I think of Arnold. Recently though, there's been a common perspective on the assassination of Osama bin Laden.





Perhaps this is just the perception of New York publications. I find the idea that "since he's dead, he's erased" to be a bit troubling. You?

Spring in Central Park

Today is another cloudy, overcast day in New York City, but Saturday, man, that was a damn near perfect day. I decided to head to Central Park and shoot some moving images. Below was the outcome, enjoy!
