First of all, only one of the Brazilian Girls, is actually a girl. She is the lead singer, Sabina Sciubba, and she is not Brazilian. Fantastic name for a group, nonetheless. As it turns out, Brazilian is about the only thing that Sciubba, is not. Hahahaha. She grew up in Munich and Nice. In addition … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #44 (BG)→
First of all, I had to share this photo, because I’m still laughing over it. If you have ever run a NYRR sponsored race then you have undoubtedly seen all of the course photographers along the way, and received the subsequent email solicitations to purchase the photos. Last Saturday, I figured “why not have a … Continue reading Jitters→
I’m trying to build a playlist for the Hartford Marathon, coming up on Saturday, and I’m having severe playlist-maker’s block. I feel like I’m kind of burnt out, for the moment on a lot of the stuff that I would traditionally load into my running playlists. So, today instead of sharing a Musica Coolica track, … Continue reading Help me, please→
I had a pretty fun time last night, shooting some production stills for SoJones, during a Jim Jones and DJ Webstar music video shoot. The set was at the shoe store “Medici,” which is right around the corner from the Flatiron Building, on 23rd Street. Since they had to get the whole video done while … Continue reading Kicking it with Rappers→
With all of this recent noise about U2, surrounding their show in Jersey, they kind of came back onto my radar again. There was the incident with Bloomberg’s helicopter pilot, before the show. There was the appearance on Saturday Night Live. I even had a recent conversation with my friend about U2 and their appearances … Continue reading “Tired of” in the most literal sense→
Girl Talk is a dude who has a serious gift for building mash-ups. This is a genre (if there is such a thing as a mash-up genre) that I have been a fan of for a while. For those who have been reading my rants for a while, have no doubt seen me dribble about … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #43 (GT)→
Camper Van Beethoven is the group that eventually became Cracker. Although they could definitely be classified as rock, they have a kind of unique sound. I’m sure that the fact they have a violin in the mix, has a lot to do with it. I really got into these guys during high school. I was … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #42 (CVB)→
Spicing it up (or dumbing it down, depending on perspective) a bit, this week, with a video. I normally don’t like to clutter this page up, too much with videos (unless they are of Piper or Reagan), but I’m making an exception this time. Since Labor Day, has already thrown everything off kilter this week … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #41 (CB)→
Chico Science & Nação Zumbi, is a Brazilian rock/funk/hip-hop-outfit. Chico Science was the point man of Nação Zumbi until he was killed in the late 90’s by a drunk driver. He was the creative force behind the music. Even the album artwork was heavily influence by Chico. The image of a crap appears on almost … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #40 (CSNZ)→
7L and Esoteric are a hip hop group out of Boston. They rhyme about Jamie Lee Curtis and Wookies. I like them. Here is Feudal Lords (feat. Nejel Mongrel) (be forewarned, it has the “s” word).
