If you, like me, require food to live and even find yourself enjoying eating and stuff from time to time, I strongly encourage you to check out my friends Julie Beth Tanous and Ted Rosen’s food blog Epicure-All. Julie and Ted are both schooled culinary types and know so much about delicious food it’s actually kind of weird. And they’ve got recipes so good I’m almost tempted to ask my social worker if I might be allowed near a stove again any time soon. Check it out here. Or else.
Love,
Dave Hill

The great Dick Cavett, legendary talk show host and my personal spirit animal, made an appearance on HuffPost Live recently that you should watch right now and then again immediately after you finish. They don’t make ’em like him anymore. He is the king.
Your man,

Hi. This is your man Dave Hill coming to you disheveled and sweaty from an undisclosed location to let you know that on this day, which is to say today, Tuesday, September 3, 2013 A.D., my popular/critically-acclaimed/incredible book Tasteful Nudes is finally available in the popular paperback format, which is great for me and everybody else, too. Get it at your local independent bookstore or just click here and order it. That would be so great.
As if all of that weren’t enough, the hot new rock record by my band Valley Lodge, Use Your Weapons is on iTunes today, too. You can and should totally get it right here. And- just so you know we’re not messing around- you can stream the whole thing above. Seriously, it’s the best ever basically.
Stay street,
Dave Hill

Hi. It’s Dave again writing to let you know that in celebration of the release of my unstoppable book Tasteful Nudes in the popular paperback format, I am going to be staging a marathon, six-hour reading of the book at Big Gay Ice Cream at 61 Grove Street in the West Village of New York City. The whole thing starts at 1pm and will end at 7pm or whenever someone decides to tase me or something, whichever happens first. Come by to see and hear this incredible public exhibition of my reading skills. Also, you can buy a book if you want and I will totally sign it and everything. You can also get yourself a delicious ice cream cone while you’re at it. I honestly can’t think of a better use of your time or mine. It is going to be incredible and most people won’t even be able to handle it. Oh, and if you can’t make it, why not just buy a copy of my paperback here? That would be so great. I promise if you don’t like it you can kick me in the taint.
Yours in incredible literature,
Dave Hill

Happy Friday. As mentioned previously, my rock band Valley Lodge has a new album (our third) called Use Your Weaponsavailable September 3 on iTunes. Yeah, I know, I’m pretty excited about it, too. Anyway, you can listen to the whole album over at AbsolutePunk.net now by clicking here. I hope you enjoy it so much. It pretty much has everything.
Yours in hot rock,
Dave Hill

Attention World Citizens:
Hi. It’s me, Dave, again. I hope this note finds you incredible. Anyway, as hinted at in the subject line, Tasteful Nudes, my critically acclaimed and seriously-good-and-you-can-ask-anyone first book, published in hardcover last year by St. Martins Press, is now being made available to the public in the popular paperback format on September 3. As you can probably imagine, I am pretty excited about it as the paperback version is perfectly suited for both those of you with an on-the-go lifestyle and also those of you who like the option of being able to roll the book up into a cylindrical weapon of sorts that works great at Renaissance fairs, Civil War reenactments, the free clinic, or anywhere else it’s sometimes nice to have a bludgeoning instrument at the ready at a moment’s notice.
Excellent animator Danielle Velarde made a great trailer for the release of my paperback you can watch here or above. The choice is yours. It will fill you in on the rest. Also, there are sheep in it, which is great for me.
I encourage you to buy and/or order my book for you and your loved ones at your local independent book store or get it here in keeping with modern times. It is so good.
To celebrate the release of my paperback, I will be putting on several public displays of my reading ability, specifically on September 6 at Book Court in Brooklyn. This is going to be an extreme literary blowout where I read, answer important questions, and then sign books and butts. Also, my rock band Valley Lodge is going to play a rare, yet still pummeling stripped down set of the hits. You can get the full scoop here.
Additionally, I will be making the following appearances in North America to support this important moment in history:
Sept. 3- Marathon reading/signing from 1pm-7pm at Big Gay Ice Cream at 61 Grove Street in the West Village, NYC.
Sept. 3- Appearing at Housing Works Book Store in Manhattan with Brendan Jay Sullivan, Alan Light, and more at 7:30pm.
Sept. 5- R.J. Julia Book Store in Madison, Connecticut at 7pm
Sept. 14- Visible Voice Books in Cleveland, Ohio at 7pm
Come on out. I would love to see you. Your hair looks great and I’m sorry for what happened last time.
Love,
Dave Hill

Dinosaur Jr. official book trailer from Rocket 88 on Vimeo.
I was just sitting here in my underpants reading about stuff on the Internet when I found out that one of my favorite bands, Dinosaur Jr., has a book coming out. Sweet. That’s the book trailer above. You should totally watch it. And you can find out more about the book here. When cool stuff like this happens, it makes me better able to put some pants on and get out into the world.
Love,

Recently, I wrote an important piece for McSweeney’s about my time as a member of the Eagles in the 70s. Henley, Frey, Walsh, Meisner, Felder, and me- needless to say it was a pretty wild ride. Hear my side of things here.
Just another tequila sunrise,

A week or two ago, when I was totally minding my own business and also doing shows at the popular Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco, I sat down with Zach Brooks to do an interview for his popular and awesome Food Is the New Rock podcast. As you can see from above, I looked really great and Zach and I talked about everything and nothing at all and also food, which I have really been getting into lately because without it I would be dead probably, which is negative. Anyway, you can listen to the whole thing right here (after you click on a couple other things, I think). Do it!
Thanks,
Dave Hill
