this giant poster is sort of creepy. my mom wore these gloves when i was younger & so it reminds me of dentyne gum, neil diamond, all my children, buicks & horses.

FOREST PARK (QUEENS)

i would like to climb 106 stairs to the top of the stissing mountain fire tower.

it is 2 hours & 10 minutes away. feeling stuck & miss owning a shitty hatch back.
a bad decision maybe, but i'm real tempted. just don't feel like i'm seeing all i could be.

MATT & KIM AT MCCARREN POOL

here is my shaky drunken video of matt & kim playing with a marching band at mccarren pool yesterday. i'm sure there are a million others out there on the interweb. i'm realizing now how obnoxious it was to hold my camera up in a crowd and film this. it takes away a little bit of the energy, because it's one less person participating, and it is also probably bugging the hell out of the person behind me.

HSA MIX TRADE 2008: JUNE

justine had originally come up with the idea of making a torture mix for her month. she is writing a book on the topic and has been compiling the musical references she learns about along the way. mother jones posted it here a while back, so she was kind enough to make us a new one. here it is & in no way torturous. track list:

peter sarstedt, cat power, vetiver, holly golightly, april march, belle & sebastian, dynasty, riot a go go, shellshag, the sharp ease, los cincos, the kinks, mc5, the shins, sonny smith, iron & wine.

hey, did you notice it's july and this is the june mix. i suck at keeping these things posted & it is because i don't like making the files. there's so many other radder (more rad?) things to do with time. 6 more to go & i promise no more slacking.
