Today & Other Days

LIT Magazine was a new website & they are accepting submission.



I've been cat-sitting this week. This is Ethan. I've known him for almost a decade. He lived with me in Cobble Hill. He's a nice guy.

From the stolen from Captain S files, I recently discovered Daytrotter which has a ton of music downloads featuring unreleased or alternate tracks. Here's who I downloaded thus far:
Asobi Seksu (who have an acoustic show on Sept. 15 at Joe's Pub)
Bon Iver
Crystal Stilts
Enon
Sunset Rubdown
Times New Viking

Last night I ate corn on the cob and plantain chips. Today my stomach hurts. Not sure if the two are related. I think I want bread. Chinatown, Little Itlay, Soho, Nolita kinda sucks when you want a bagel.

Today was the last Friday I could sleep in (until late December) so naturally at 8:15 there was a big-ass truck making the loudest noise over & over & over again. Displeasure. Yes, say it with me. Displeasure.

Who Rocks the Rock?

Last night I met up with Captain S & Lila at Minca Ramen Factory, then we walked over to the Mercury Lounge. En route to the Lounge, Lila & I stopped at a bodega to pick up some ginger tea. It was thick & medicinal smelling & it had pine nuts in it.

We stood in front of the venue drinking ginger tea with the wind whipping in our faces. I ran into Euni, who I almost exclusively run into only on the same three block stretch of Houston, unless I run into her at one of her sister's readings. After I chewed my last pine nut & swallowed the last of the liquid we proceeded indoors to catch Wavves.

The crowd was rather silent & dull, but Wavves brought the rock. Captain S mentioned that she suspected that the show they played in BK had a much better audience. I began thinking of bands that I have seen both in BK & NYC (Enon, Blonde Redhead, Asobi Seksu, Mono) & have to agree with S that the Brooklyn shows/crowds were so much better than the NYC shows. Have you noticed the same thing? What gives?
