It’s been an action-packed past few days. Well, not really, but here’s what I have sort of been up to. On Saturday, I went to see Marc Maron’s “Scorching the Earth” show at UCB followed by Emo Phillips at Comix. They were both great in completely different ways and I am afraid of them both for completely different reasons. Not sure when Emo and his hair will be back in town, but Marc is doing his show again soon around town, so you should check that shit out for sure. He’s on it like a motherfucker.
In other news, on Saturday I happened upon this black and white paisley suit in the window of a new Brooks Brothers outpost of some sort on Bleecker Street. It’s pretty awesome. The jacket alone was $1200 (couldn’t bring myself to look at the price tag on the pants after I saw what the jacket cost). It takes a special man to both afford and pull off a suit like that. I feel like I’ve definitely got the latter covered (I mean, come on- look at me), but it would be an act of grave fiscal delusion to consider myself the former. Or maybe I should just go for it. Who knows? Somebody’s gotta wear this suit, right? They should probably just give it to me.
Speaking of low-quality photos I’ve taken on my crappy cell phone recently, above is a sign I saw in the window of a porn shop in Hell’s Kitchen. Their sign advertising fetish DVDs reads, “We specialized in the unique and unsual.” Oh, yeah? What do you specialize in now then? And you can’t spell! Ha! Ha! Guess who just tore the owner of this porn shop a new one! This guy! Man I am on today! Actually, I’m not sure why I took a photo of that sign really in the first place. I think I might have been standing there waiting for somebody or something.
Okay, that’s about all the razor sharp social commentary I have in me for today. If you are in New York City tonight, I am hosting the VH1 showcase at the Village Underground tonight. Come by and say hi and I will maybe show you other pointless photos I have taken with my cell phone.
And finally, here is a new song from the new not-sure-what-it’s-titled-yet Valley Lodge album. I hope you like it a whole bunch. And speaking of my rock band Valley Lodge, the photo above was taken by Ryan Barkan at our show last week at Union Hall. You can see more here.
