Musica Coolica #36 (B-haus)
If you have nine and one half minutes to spare, here is the original Gothic vampire jam. When Peter Murphy and gang refer to Bela, on this joint, they aren’t referring to the cutsy Bella, from the sparkly skinned “Twilight” vamp clan. They are talking about Bela Lugosi. I’m not really sure what all of … Continue reading Musica Coolica #36 (B-haus)
Canteens for the urban hiker?
Growing up in the Rocky Mountains, I was participating in outdoor activities since before I could walk or talk. As a result, my family always had a generous stockpile of gear. Among the various backpacking, camping and hiking items, were several varieties of canteens. We had mostly the G.I. style, that were army green and … Continue reading Canteens for the urban hiker?
Weekend, etc.
First of all, Bloomberg’s Summer Streets are back, starting next weekend. I’m pretty pumped about that. We had so much fun last year. I was able to ride Park Avenue, all three weekends. We are going to be camping on the 15th, this year, so we will be missing that weekend for sure, but I … Continue reading Weekend, etc.
APW Friday Shows
Reagan, and I have been pretty pumped about this show for a couple of months now. It was especially cool, because we generally try to get to a lot of shows during the summer, when it is nice outside. For whatever reason (the exceptional amount of rain is actually probably the reason), we haven’t really … Continue reading APW Friday Shows
Street Art Du Jour + APW

Anyway, I really like it. Second: Tomorrow is All Points West. Reagan and I are pretty pumped about … Continue reading Street Art Du Jour + APW
La Musica Coolica #36 (Grouch)
The Grouch. This guy is frequently collaborating with Murs, Eligh, Zion I etc.. He has a good organic Hip-hop flow. Grouch doesn’t really have a traditional Hip hop dialect. He pronounces the letter “R” in his lyrics, for example. Grouch tends to get a bit political sometimes, with the lyrics. Some of his stuff, I … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #36 (Grouch)
Donington Park 2009
I have been doing pretty well about fighting the urge to write about motorcycle racing lately. But today, I couldn’t resist. The British Grand Prix in Donington Park, Sunday was one for the books. The race was wet, but not super wet. It was just rainy enough to keep a steady flow of crashes going, … Continue reading Donington Park 2009
Piper and Hammocking
Reagan and I decided to continue with the picnic theme today. After hanging out with Piper this morning, we packed lunches and the hammock, then headed down to the park. We were there long enough to catch some rays, before it clouded up. We made it home just before it started pouring. Click on any … Continue reading Piper and Hammocking
Governor’s Island
^—–Reagan sitting in an old cannon installation on Governor’s Island Reagan read this great article in Time Out NY, earlier this month about Governor’s Island. I had been reading random things about it on Gothamist for the past couple of months as well. We finally decided to check it out today. When I say check … Continue reading Governor’s Island
