I had to be in the office for a while on Saturday. When I arrived downtown, it was late afternoon, and it was like a ghost town. It was totally freezing outside. The only people that I really saw were occasional groups of tourists. The sun was totally lighting up the west side of the … Continue reading Self P→
First of all, sorry in advance. It is that time of day where I feel like everything that I bang out on the keyboard it hilarious/awesome, even though in reality it is total crap and laden with typos. It’s like punch drunk mixed with invincibility. Getting to the point: I mean, you have to love … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #53 (LT)→
Going back to the electronica side of things, this week. Paul Oakenfold is one of the World’s original trance djs. I feel like he is kind of a legend or pioneer, in his own right. Even if you don’t particularly care for trance, if you are a fan of music, then you can probably appreciate … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #52 (PO)→
Red Hot Chili Peppers. I have pretty much loved these guys forever. I got in trouble from my mom for the album cover of “Mother’s Milk.” I remember when they played at Park West with Oingo Boingo. The cover of “Mother’s Milk” has since been censored. Both Park West and Oingo Boingo no longer exist. … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #51 (RHCP)→
Reagan and I were so happy that Piper was able to stick around Blythedale for the holidays. Today, she sat on Santa’s lap and he gave her a present. It seemed like she was really pretty interested in the whole event, too. Regan and I arrived kind of early, to get Piper into her Christmas … Continue reading Piper meets Santa→
Reagan and I were volunteering at a race on Saturday, and they had a nice little holiday playlist pumping through the PA speakers. There was this elevator-music sounding song playing, that I suddenly recognized as the melody to Green Day‘s “Holiday.” I laughed and was pretty awesome, all at the same time. Later, I did … Continue reading My Christmas Music Recommendation→
Reagan cut my hair last night. It is a lot shorter that I have had it in a while, but I really like it. Piper had her haircut today, too, since Reagan still had her scissors with her. It was winter haircuts all around. Woo Hoo. On a totally unrelated note. I was looking at … Continue reading Some random crap→
Since this is the 50th post of La Musica Coolica, I decided to do sort of a double feature. The artist for this week is Velvet Underground. I can’t say that I’m a huge fan of Velvet Underground, generally. I feel like Lou Reed kind of rips off Bob Dylan a lot, stylistically. More than … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #50 (VU)→
Our good friend Zach has been holding it down for a while now, at Kielhs. It just so happens that the brand teamed up for a benefit collab with Jersey bred [former] street artist Kaws. They held a soiree at the Kiehls flagship store to showcase the collection. Zach was kind enough invite me to … Continue reading Kaws X Kiehls + Christmas Lights→
Peanut Butter Wolf, AKA Chris Manak, is a California based DJ, who produces and mixes Hip-hop fusion tracks. Hip-hop fusion sounds like kind of a lame term. But I’m not feeling very creative at the moment, and that was the best that I could come up with. I throw “fusion” in there, because the stuff … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #49 (PBW)→
