The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The funny thing about these guys, is that I really didn’t like them at first. Reagan and I saw them last year at All Points West. They were pretty good, but I wasn’t super impressed. Granted, it was raining all day long, so they probably weren’t too happy to be playing … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #64 (YYY)→
Over the weekend, I rescued this BIC turntable from the curb, when I was walking home from parking the car. It was before the monsoon started, so it hadn’t been exposed to the elements or anything. It just needed to have the dust wiped from it. It appears to be in working order. It isn’t … Continue reading Curbside Treasure→
I know that Jake is a pretty big fan of hip hop, or at least a much bigger fan than I, so it kind of surprises me that I have managed to find a group that I endorse, and Jake hasn’t written about. I will just cover the nuts and bolts, and maybe if I’m … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #63 (Imbibe)→
When I was younger, it was so hard for me to throw out an old skate deck. Sometimes I would hang them on the wall. Sometimes, I would just stack them in the basement waiting for some sort of amazing idea that I could incorporate them into (then my mom would eventually throw them out … Continue reading Recycled Skate Deck Notebook→
I think that it is funny how often I have been asked what kind of stuff I listen to when I run. I’m not sure why, but it almost always catches me off guard. I don’t really know how to answer it, because 1. it is always changing; and 2. Do I just start listing … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #62 (TK)→

The original Morphine “sound” was Sandman on vocals and a two-string bass (played with a slide, a drummer and a sax player … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #61 (Morphine)→
Don’t hate me for this one. I kind of consider Shiny Toy Guns as, kind of, the Jonas Brothers of electro-rock. It may seem like an oxymoron. But that is just my take. So I can totally understand if you just want to skip right past this one. However, I am really kind of digging … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #60 (STG)→
With the impending warm weather, comes spring fashion. Yay! Flipping through the ads at the beginning of my magazines has made me especially excited for the warm weather. Among all of the uber-creative and super aesthetically appealing ads, there are always a handful of duds. To me, the Hilfiger ad above was the largest dud … Continue reading What’s wrong with this picture?→
I am no a metal expert. I have never really cared for GNR. I think that the opening riff to “Crazy Train” is one of the all time sickest riffs ever… no contests period. My wife and I danced down the aisle after being pronounced man and wife to “The Rhythm of Love.” I have … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #59 (BT:WoT)→
I met some pretty cool guys, this weekend. They are the guys behind the brand Only New York, a local street wear brand. I am going to be doing a SoJones piece on them, and was able to do a quick shoot on Sunday afternoon. They are definitely cool guys. You should definitely check out … Continue reading Only New York→
