I still say the greatest guitarist of all time. Yes, I’m man enough to admit my man-crush on Jimmy. I just love his work, his versatility, and his all-around stage coolness.
You had to see him a coupla times like I did to really appreciate him. Better than Clapton at moving his feet, better than Hendrix when it comes to breadth of style, better than anyone on the guitar, ever.
I loves me some genius. Happy Memorial Day, everyone.
SHAKE SHAKE… I SHAKE I SHAKE IT!11!!
“I hate that song.” I looked at Sharon, one of my friends at school, who was sitting in the backseat with her arms crossed, looking bored. “She’s like ‘I shake, shake, shake, shake I shake it!” Jenny sang. “She does it like this, I do it like that!” I added in, just to piss Sharon off. Because I like pissing people off. Haha, not really. The song is catchy, though.
The video makes me cringe. It’s really corny. All these people go into this auditorium kind of place and they start having a fucking dance off. THAT LOOKS FUN. The lead singer with twiggy arms goes around, and while people get pissed off at each other (they’re so mad they’re gonna have a fuckin’ dance off! OH… THAT’S SERIOUS…), he’s just standing there with his arms wide like “I’m going to pretend that you notice [...]
if only I had a cool friend to go with. Inquiring minds want to know!

In an exercise that will be beneficial to both me (emptying out my Google Reader’s “starred” items) and to you (a whole lot of stuntastic things from around the Internets), I’m bringing back an old segment that will be familiar to my oldest readers, “News I Find Interesting!” Here, I will be posting a long list of links and such that I’ve encountered that I found interesting, amusing, idiotic, titillating, or hilarious, but didn’t get around to sharing with you.
You may have already seen few, some, or all of the links below, but in any case I hope you will find an item or two of note that YOU will find interesting.
1. The New York City’s Department of Transportation has installed nine unique bike racks designed by David Byrne, yes of the Talking Heads fame, but did you know he is also a bike enthusiast? It is only temporary but [...]

Noa Babayof - Indian Queen (From a Window to a Wall)
Three months away left me a little out of any loop that might be relevant in keeping tabs on new music, a detriment that I’m still feeling and reeling in the effects of. That said, there’s one artist who JInx showed me who blows my mind.
Philly based Israeli folkie Noa Babyof borrows from the Philidelphian folk scene (Fursaxa, Helena Epsvall, Greg Weeks, Meg Baird and pretty much all of Espers) but creates something more akin to folk delivered in the Judee Sill kind of way. As in the gorgeous, intricate, perfected songmanship. It’s carefully crafted and is full of intention which is something far from the free-form that most of her new-home contemporaries adopt and adapt. FYI Greg Weeks does a great job of production. This is an incredibly beautiful sounding album.
And we’re back in 3, 2 …
A few days became a few weeks became a few months. But I think it’s time to swing back into action. After all, an election season is brewing, Oscar movie season will shortly be upon us, I’ve got some concerts lined up, a new school year is starting, and, if everything continues to hum along as it should, I’ll be embarking on a job search in the next couple months. It’s practically pissing excitement, and for that reason (if for no other), now is not the time for me to be a hermit.
I can’t possibly begin to summarize everything that’s happened since I last checked in, but here’s a few things currently clamoring for my attention:
There’s little doubt that I’ll be grousing about this particular story in the weeks to come. In what has to be one of the most [...]
