So, I might have acquired a new album by a certain Bruce Springsteen-loving band from New Jersey.
Yeah, the new Gaslight Anthem? Killer. Absolutely killer. I will be buying this in every format possible. Fucking aye, I love the hell out of this record. Every song is just... I don't even know. This band knows how to make music that thrills me in every way...

thank you for reading! i'm glad you like it.
Fuck. Yeah.
I got down to Harvard Sq. an hour before Newbury Comics opened. Worth it, because I walked out with the Hot Water Music live in Chicago 7". Apparently, the only copy that store got in. Stoked as all fuck. I love Hot Water Music dearly. And live, they sound awesome.

i'm going to have to start getting other peoples' stories as well. i have some REALLY traumatizing ones, but not enough to really keep a book going. i might have to rely on some drag queens and deviants to keep it interesting.
there, now tell me you'd STILL read it. i dare you.

well i can't back down now, so i guess i have to dig up alllll those little traumas i buried deep down inside me for your entertainment now. 
I'm working on some art that might get used on a compilation in the near future. Kind of stoked, even though the art is one big in joke. I'm cool, I know.
Check it: link because it's big

So, my family gave me an iPad for my birthday. Neat.
It's cool so far. But I don't see it really fitting into my life. We'll see. I like messing around on it around the house/where there's WiFi? TweetDeck is pretty cool on it. I dunno, man.
Not to sound like an ingrate, I appreciate them going all in on appeasing the gadget nerd they...

there are some great bands on there, it always makes me happy when awesome new bands come up and older bands still put out great music. those labels are definitely worth keeping an eye on. xx ps. nah, cool people are everywhere, you just gotta know how to weed out the bullshitters

thank you! I used to work for Cloak/Dagger's European label and did press for the We Are... album. I have a column/blog in the works with (hardcore) music recommendations that hopefully will be published on here soon, in the meantime check out Mother Of Mercy and Foundation, two of my favorites. Deathwish/Malfunction/SFU just released a sweet sampler, too: http://www.mediafire.com/?qqmndyblyhd PS. that's rad you met Paul Verhoeven! he's from where I'm from haha.
Woo!
Happy birthday to me, mothertruckers!
All I wanna do is listen to A Wilhelm Scream. Weird.

Worst thing about Boston is how early the T stops running. I'm home, but still drunk and not tired! WTF.

STOKED. Small Brown Bike posted tourdates, and they're coming to Boston with Bridge and Tunnel! May 13th at Great Scott! Words cannot express how stoked I am for this show. It's going to rule. "The River Bed" is one of my all-time favorite albums.
Seriously, if you're not familiar with Small Brown Bike, go check them out. The reunion 7", "Composite," they released last year...

I don't know if I've mentioned it before- I hope I would have but I wouldn't be surprised if I'd neglected it- but Frank Turner's Love, Ire & Song LP is one of the best records of the decade. If you haven't heard it, please, go do so. Epitaph released it in the US last year, and I believe Xtra Mile released it in Europe...

Freeloading SXSW is the best! That's what the majority of my friends are doing. For both interactive and music. No point in badges anymore
Been a while!
So, Chicago was awesome. Riot Fest kicked so much ass. I regret not catching the Cock Sparrer/NOFX show, but such is life. I got to see Screeching Weasel, which is a highlight of my life. They played a lot from My Brain Hurts, which was great. I wish they had broken out "Peter Brady" from Anthem for a New Tomorrow,...

This weekend was... SYNTHPOP BENDER 2009!
My old friend Trisha came up from PA. This is the first time I've seen here since- I think- her wedding in 2007. Wild! I can't believe how much time has passed.
Anyway, so on Friday night, we went dancing at Chris Ewen's SCHOOLBOUND event, and saw Apoptygma Berzerk at the Middle East. It was awesome! They played almost...
