The best thing to happen since John Mayer.

I’m changing the damn colloquialism. Right here. Right now. Sliced bread has had it’s run. It’s over.
I got to see John-boy play tonight at MSG. My good Lord. I saw him in concert a little over a year ago, it was an in-store at Tower Records (r.i.p.) and I [...]

I forgot to write about this before, so maybe it’s not as funny now.

Think back to long, long ago. I’m not sure how far back it was and can never really be sure (this is a lie, I could tell you the exact day, the fact is I’m too lazy to check). At any point I wrote a compelling argument for the foundation of a new [...]

Voice – an essay inspired by a lousy teacher.

Voice isn’t something you teach or coach. There is no “one way” to do things. There is no “proper,” no “perfect.” There is only flux, and furthermore flux that responds differently from the causality of different personalities.
To try and influence voice is to try and influence God with godlessness. There [...]

It must be all the times I split my head open.

When I was growing up and going through grade school, junior high, high school and college, people often told me that I was weird. “You’re so weird!” people would say. Later “weird” developed into “asshole” and I’ve resided comfortably in that zone for a while…until lately.
I had kicked the “weird” thing. In [...]

The only thing.

The only thing keeping me going right now is The Story of Saadia Records:

The problem is, the album is only ten tracks long. Ten tracks of pure, unadulterated, 60’s funk goes a long way, but sometimes not long enough.

Valentine’s Day: It’s not just for assholes anymore.

A lot of people think Valentine’s Day is some ridiculous “Hallmark Holiday” and come up with various reasons to hate it. The problem is, the only real reason anyone hates Valentine’s Day is because they don’t have a Valentine. They’re covering up the fact that they don’t have a date with the excuse [...]

Oh Pandora, your box always knows just what I need.

Wednesday night I decided to take some time from my typically busy schedule of blasting terrorists with American justice to go to Cinema Village on 12th and University to check out a “Town Hall Meeting” hosted by Pandora’s founder, Tim Westergren.
Before I get into the actual meeting I’d like to explain Pandora a bit, in [...]

Because I’m a genius.

I wrote this post months and months ago but due to some negative results I took it down. Now I’m reposting it because you should all know what a genius I am.
Dating is probably a relatively foreign concept to most of the people in my age group. Not in the sense that we don’t [...]

From a chicken’s, from a chicken’s, from a chicken’s good, good heart.

Yes, that is Sheryl Crow twirling a baton…I guess this the retaliation for when you dress up in a bear suit and interrupt her while she’s on stage.

I wish this show was still on TV.

Man, why do they always have to cancel the best ones?
