La Musica Coolica #85 Wrapping up a Month of Guest Posts and Covers with Marshall Arts
Note from Jake: Everyone, sorry that this post is a day late. Pete had the entire month worth of these cover songs written and ready to go, before September was even over. I tried to get this thing in the queue before I went on vacation, but was having a difficult time rounding up the…

This ‘n that
Yesterday I had a birthday. I’m now officially older than I was two days ago. Sucks. The weekend, I spent mostly doing some product photos for a Brooklyn clothing co. It was ok. We did hang out with our friends a bit, which was cool. Then we had a failed attempt at doing family photos.…

La Musica Coolica #84 The Month of Guest Posts and Covers Continues, with Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash… No introduction necessary. Nine Inch Nails… ’nuff said. “Hurt” was written by Trent Reznor and released in 1994 on the NIN album “Downward Spiral.” In 2002, after his wife died, but before he died himself (wow, really?), Johnny Cash released the cover. I heard the Cash version on the radio in the work…

Happy Friday!!
I had myself a pretty busy little evening, last night. But it ended up being well worth hiking all over the island in the rain. First stop was Chelsea, to shoot El Mac working on his mural for his solo exhibit “The Humble and Sublime,” which opened at the Joshua Liner Gallery last night. I…

Levi’s Photo Workshop at the Old Deitch Space
In another example of deep pockets doing good work, Levi’s has opened a free photo studio/lab on Wooster Street, where the Deitch space used to reside. I dropped by yesterday to check it out. I normally try to avoid NY freebies that are open to the public, because they tend to be a bit too…

RE:Form School
Reagan and I went to the closing party for the RE:Form School Exhibit last night at the St. Patrick’s School in SoHo. It was a very cool project, meant to raise money and awareness for art programs in public schools. In addition to featuring pieces created by students around the country, some heavy hitting contemporary…

La Musica Coolica #83 The Month of Guest Posts and Covers Continues, with Vandals
Pennywise has always kind of been hit and miss with me. They do not really have a huge variety of sound, and their singer kind of gets on my nerves after a while. I don’t think I ever bought one of their albums new, but I do know that I have owned a few of…

A few more from the weekend
Apologies, in advance for the copious amounts of photos in this post. Last Thursday night, I went to DUMBO for a PBR pop-up party. I met up with our friends Sam and Anna, because Sam was doing video. We were totally bummed that Reagan couldn’t make it down. Reagan still wasn’t feeling well, and had…

Hump day is all upons
Reagan is still very sickly, so last night I was flying solo at a Drake/Trey Songz show that I was covering. The show was in Times Square, which is my least favorite part of town (a long with mid-town generally). At least the rain had subsided by the time that I arrived. I was able…

La Musica Coolica #82 Kicking of an October full of Guest Posts and Cover Songs
Cover songs. Tribute albums. I know that there are those out there who have a strong distaste for cover songs. Some who feel like it is taking something precious and personal and corrupting it in some way, and therefore ruining it. There are also some who think why should you try and change a good…
