Went CD shopping today...
I haven't listened to it all yet. Here's what I got:
Manic Street Preachers -Everything must go
Bloc party -Silent Alarm
Robbers on High Street -Tree City
The Ponys -Laced With Romance
Death Disco LTD -The Club Soundtrack
Bionic Breaks
Roots Manuva -Awfully Deep
Fierce girl -What makes a feirce Girl
Ash -Girl From Mars
Louis XIV -Illegal Tender
Also I bought a mystery single called "The Pineapple Song(turn Around and Let Me See)", It looks cheesy. I have no idea what it is but I love the title...
I have the Ponys playing right now, it sounds great. I heard the NYT's gave them a shit review, what do those beanflickers know...
Roots Manurva's new CD, Awfully Deep is amazing UK Hip Hop. I'm not a giant Hip Hop fan but this shit is ace.
Bloc Party, hum, jury's out on this one... I want to like it but then at times the lead singers voice makes me want to tear my skin off...
Louis XIV is amazing! This band from San Diego are forgiven for faking a british accent, they RAWK! Keith B said he thinks they are mysoginists but I can't make out their lyrics well enough to tell... Listen to their new CD Illegal Tender here:

I'm off to Amy Steiners house to work on our Zine "Ridikeulous" and will try to see if I can get into the sold out Ian Brown show later at Webster Hall. I HATE that crap-ass venue, but Ian Brown's new CD, Solarized, is nothing short of BRILLIANT. Run out and Buy it!!! You'll thank me later. It'll make my top CD's of 2005 for sure. I'll do my first concert review tomorrow if I get in to the show...
Three Great Guys
The following posts are salutes to three really cool guys, Thomas Eisenman, Cy the Cat and Keith Boadwee. Tomorrow I'll post a pic of a painting I worked on today. I'm pretty happy with it so far, I haven't ruined it... yet. Also, I wanted to post some shows I'm going to see in the next month, git yer tkts now kids! Me thinks these shows will all sell out.

Josh and Zach
This may be the sweetest painting I've ever made. Thats my little brother Josh and his new little baby Zach looking up at him. Sorry the Pic kinda sucks but I just took a quick snap for my Blog page. I might put this painting in a group show at Jack Tilton's new gallery in March.
How's my Painting?
