I love Hot Water Music so much. I just watched the Live in Paris video on Punknews. SO GOOD. I hope they play Fest this year.

SPEAKING OF WHICH I'M GOING TO FEST MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!

Booked my flight, got one kid for my room. SHIT'S ABOUT TO GET REAL.

Some new pictures from my adventures abroad!

To Flickr!

I have sooo many more. Someday I'll go through them all.

Man, the Gaslight Anthem is so good. Seriously, so good. I don't care that they've been hyped beyond belief or whatever, or that they're not punk anymore. The band just rules, and they're awesome dudes. Glad I got to seem them at small shows when I had the chance.

So I'm still in Shetland. We're flying out tomorrow. I've taken well over a hundred photos,...

So, Scotland! It's cool. Tonight after dinner with my family I met a dude in Shetland who loves the Gaslight Anthem- one of my favorite bands these days- and is starting a band. He's got a few songs together and is gonna email them to me, hopefully spread the word. Must be tough to be a punk in Shetland. He said I was like one...

Hey, so I'm in Scotland now! Specifically Shetland, but I'll be back in Aberdeen and Edinburgh in a few days. It's been a pretty great time with the family and all. Nice to be away from work and things. Wish I'd made better plans though; I really know nothing about these places, and what to do. If anyone knows any cool nightlife, drop me a...

Man, fun weekend with friends! So many cookouts! So much beer! Not much music, but that's ok.

So Kid Dynamite reunion show in August, huh? I need to get myself to that. Gonna be fucking insane, for real. And I'd get to hang with the Philly Summiteers, which would rule. Everyone would win!

Uh, I dunno what else. A lot of the hopefuls I like...

* P.S. Eliot - Introverted Romance in Our Troubled Mind ($)
* The Holy Mess - Dismount!

I posted some new art to my DeviantArt page. You can give it a look-see if you're interested:

Click here. You want it. Yeah. That's right.

Just some old-past-the-point-of-relevance comics that I wanted to not sit in my sketchbook unseen forever and ever, so I took pictures of them and imported them that way. I need a flatbed scanner, yo. Or something.

Anywho!

Also, I've...

Man, so I saw Small Brown Bike last night at Great Scott down in Allston. They're doing a little tour with Bridge & Tunnel (ex-Latterman). Holy fucking shit, everybody. B&T were good, but SBB were FUCKING. AWESOME. My neck is a bit sore from the headbanging and getting thrashed around. They played a great mix of all their albums, though I wish they had broken...

So the other day, Friday, I went down to New Haven to see Spring Heeled Jack play a reunion show at Toad's Place. It was awesome! The openers- Mellow Bravo, the Organ Beats, and Tip the Van- were pretty mediocre. But SHJ killed, so it was ok. Coolie Ranx (Toasters, Pilfers) sang the first song with them, and they went from there playing an awesome...

Man, it's about 90F here in Boston, and it's only May 2nd. I'm so not ready for this sort of shit. Naturally, today a water main breaks, leaving most of the towns and cities surrounding Boston without drinkable water. Except Cambridge. Fuck you, Cambridge.

On the plus side, I finished up the Death to False Hope comp #3 cover a few days back, and I'm...
