trade or traitor.

foe or four.

It was good to see everyone last night. Mach killed the floor. D dipped with Cik's frames. Adam, Trav, Lily, Guy...
I played a lot of music I didn't think I was going to play.

My favorite part of the night was when I left the club around 4, I over heard a guy talking to his girlfriend as they got into a taxi. As he opens the door the tells her "That's a handgun sweetie, Someone left their handgun back here." and they drive off.

This was on my old PC.

New(er) Order.

Peter Hook kept hinting at the break-up of New Order. It happened. Comes to no surprise at all, I guess.

Now, cue in Cut Copy.

I really did enjoy their debut 'Bright Like Neon Love' from 2004. I just felt they captured the 1980's vibe better than tons of those bands emulating the same damn sound, is all.


So their new album, due out this summer, is produced by Tim Goldsworthy (1/2 of The DFA).

Here's the first single.

I have returned from my week-long escape to my old and once again future home, NYC.

A great reminder of why I belong up there.

Old friends, new friends.

Some new Booka


I've been a fan of Booka Shade for a bit now. Their last album 'Movements' on Get Physical was pretty damn great.

Their new 2-track EP, 'Tickle' is an example of more of the same goodness.

They put on the best set during all of WMC '07. No joke.



Tickle MP3 Yousendit

Woe is me.



Mickey was at Lotus last night. Hot, sweaty, lewd, tightly packed, amorous energy. In a related story, Col and Travis have been invited to be involved with a new weekly over there. More details Soon.

Friends and Lovers MP3

EARSNOT



The footage of Snotty that came out in the 'Infamy' Doc was some of the most brolic daytime Nyc Footy I have seen to date. (UNMASKED, INDIE FILM BOMBING > EVERYTHING ELSE) 2 weeks later, a black kid who works at Alife Rivington Club got knocked for that exact Midtown sequence. The cops obivously got the wrong kid.

Long Live IRAK. Thank you for everything.

Manhattanites- Pick up the DVD at Scrap Yard on West Broadway and Canal.
