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...

i literally read the news like five minutes after i woke up. worse news to wake up to ever, he was my hero and now he's gone. 
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.

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 
clio:
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!

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