Last week, I went to see Def Leppard, Poison, and Lita Ford and it was so awesome I wrote an important review of it on Brooklyn Vegan. You should totally read it if you like sweet reviews of stuff.
High ‘n’ Dry,

Recently, I saw the hit movie “Children of the Corn,” a movie that is like 28 years old or something. Anyway, after I watched it, I wrote a review of it for Vice, the popular website and magazine. You can and should read it here.
Still street,

Speaking of videos, in all the craziness and mayhem of late, I somehow never got around to posting this here, but above is a sweet video I made with the great Ken Webb. It basically involves me talking and shredding on stage at the Bell House in Brooklyn. In short, it pretty much has everything. I hope you enjoy it so much.
Love,
Dave Hill

Dave Hill’s “Tasteful Nudes” Animated Music Video from Danielle Velarde on Vimeo.
Hi. It’s Dave again. Remember how not too long ago I made a sweet music video about my book Tasteful Nudes with my friend Keith Aumont Goldberg? Oh, great. Well, anyway, now the amazing Danielle Velarde has taken our video to the next level, given the finger to that level, and then continued on past like ten more levels after that by totally animating our video with all sorts of cool stuff that most people can’t even handle. You can (and should) watch the whole thing above. I hope you like it so much. I know I do. Danielle rules.
Still street,
Dave Hill

Hi. It’s Dave, from before, again. Sorry I haven’t updated here in a bit. Things have been loco with the Tasteful Nudes assault on America, which- I am excited to report- has been going great, with people totally buying and reading my book and stuff. Much to my delight and surprise too, folks have been sending/tweeting/Facebooking photos of themselves and/or their pets with my book. There is quite a range and you can see all of them here on the new Tumblr page I created for all the lovely photos people have been sending me. Speaking of which, I would be thrilled if you would send me a picture of yourself (or whoever, really) reading my book. If you do, I will totally add it to the Tumblr page and tweet it and stuff like that. Come on! Do it for the children! You can email them to chitchat@davehillonline.come now! That would be so great.
Thanks!,
May

Hi. It’s Dave, from before. As I may have mentioned, my book, Tasteful Nudes, is finally and totally out and available wherever incredible books are sold. I know, I am pretty excited about it, too. What’s also nice (or annoying depending on how you look at it. I am hoping you think it’s nice! What is your problem?!) is that I’ve gotten all sorts of nice reviews, writeups, and/or lovely mentions about my book in magazines, newspapers, and on the Internet and stuff. On the “print” front, Vanity Fair, Nylon Magazine, US Weekly (pictured above), New York Daily News, the New York Times, and a bunch of other sweet folks have been super nice to me about my book. And on the Internet, the Today Show blog, Thrillist, Rookie Magazine, Vice, Huffington Post, Comedy Rants, Rushfield Babylon, the Hairpin, Impose Magazine, Brooklyn Based, Splitsider, What We Like NYC, Time Out New York, the Laugh Button, Words Music Baseball, XO Jane, the Spittake, Metro, Laughspin, and then some others ones besides all those I just mentioned have all been super sweet about me and my book. Nice, right? More to come soon!

Here’s something nice- the New York Daily News’ Gatecrasher section totally talks about me and my book today. This all happens on the same page as stuff about Anna Wintour, S-Jess, Coco, A-Rod, and other noteable noteables. You can read the whole thing right here. Also, my book get a great mention in this week’s US Weekly. Sweet. Okay, I’ll shut up now.
Thanks,
Dave Hill

Hi. How are you? I’m incredible. Thanks so much for asking. Anyway, I just wanted to remind you that one week from tonight, which is to say Wednesday May 23 at 7pm, This American Life host Ira Glass and I will be storming the McNally-Jackson bookstore in New York City to celebrate the release of my sweet ass book Tasteful Nudes. Here’s the deal, goddammit: First, I will totally read from my book. Then Ira and I will sit down and talk about me and my book as well as other things related to me and my book. We will use a lot of profanity. Then we will take questions from the audience, especially the sexy people. After that, I will totally sign the fuck out of my book for people, even if they don’t want me to. Then we can all go get hammered or something. Are you in or what? Yeah, I thought so. See you there.
Still street,
May

Hi. As hinted at in the subject line, my incredible book Tasteful Nudes is out one week from today. I know- I can’t believe it either. Early reviews suggest that my book is pretty f@#king sweet in general, which is to say, you know, like, seriously excellent. I hope you will join me in totally making it a national bestseller. You can do your part by ordering it right here. Okay, thanks. That about covers it for now.
You seem nice,
