Alright, so, where have I been? Missing. Injured. Drunk on buttered seafood. All of those things. I bought illicit lobster rolls on the streets of Greenpoint. I went to a My Morning Jacket concert at Merriweather Post Pavilion THE PLACE that included a Curtis Mayfield cover as its finale. I had an accident on Cinco De Mayo that ended with my girlfriend almost having a heart attack and me spending the night in the hospital and the ensuing week with a headache that was barely fought off with handfulls of Motrin. My brain has been continue reading

For years, I was an inactive slob. I smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, drank an average of ten beers a night, and purposefully ate the fattiest, meatiest, most unhealthy food I could find–cheeseburgers parsed with burritos, deli sandwiches, and bagels. That was it. I never exercised beyond walking around the city a lot and singing for a hardcore band, which, thinking back on it now, was actually pretty physically taxing.

So, it's been a minute. Had some other things to attend to–life things, work things, hangover things, what have you–but I'm back in the saddle (sorry, that was corny), and ready to wax critical/expound upon menial shit/let my frustrations out/postulate about WHY THE HELL THE LIBERTINES ARE REUNITING.
Alright. First some credentials. Let it be known that the Libertines were and are one of my favorite bands. Ever. I am even in that tiny minority of folks who thought the mess that was the first Babyshambles record was pretty good. continue reading

DO YOU GUYS HAVE TWITTER? WE HAVE TWITTER. IT'S LIKE FRIENDSTER WITHOUT PHOTOS. DO YOU GUYS HAVE FRIENDSTER? WE DON'T. Well not anymore at least. The point is we try to at least be entertaining (which usually gets us in trouble) K'Naan's people didn't like the fact we made fun of his suitcase getting gate checked last year.
