Stumbled across the obscure proto-metal band Sir Lord Baltimore in the Dopes to Infinity Wikipedia entry. Good stuff! I especially liked their first album. Loud Wire wrote a piece on their interesting story.

Four music albums are displayed, including one vinyl titled Rick Wakeman The Journey to the Centre of the Earth and three CDs: Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool, Meat Puppets: Too High to Die, and Monster Magnet: Dopeโ€™s to Infinity.

Just received these in the mail. Keeping my record collection unhinged. ๐ŸŽต

Had a great time playing Bird and Friend’s improv show last night with The Cat’s Cradle Ensemble at Otto’s Shrunken Head. If you don’t know what any of that means, forgive the absolute word salad. ๐ŸŽญ

This glum, hatted stick figure giving a bizarre finger gun while taking an unergenomic shit on the street? Relate.

This graffiti looks like what I always imagined the author of The Enchanted Broccoli Forrest looks like.

This tooth face really speaks to me in a way I can’t articulate.

Had a great time playing Brooklyn Comedy Collectiveโ€™s Fun and Dumb Improv Fest last night. Ryan had to run to another show before we took our photo but please rest assured he was there too. ๐ŸŽญ

I don’t say it enough, but fuck the New York Times. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Thereโ€™s two guys sitting outside a pizza place eating a whole watermelon. This is how it should be.

Man, I just made it back to NYC and thereโ€™s a cockroach on the subway. Itโ€™s like I walked into a propaganda poster.

404 Media wrote about a Queer Online Zine Can Only Be Read Via an Ancient Internet Protocol. Great read, and the zine, New Session, is fantastic. You can access it via the web (linked above), or my preference, via the aforementioned “ancient internet protocol”, telnet.

At work, we had a fun social prompt. I was proud of my response. When you donโ€™t know or canโ€™t remember something, do you pause to try to think of it, search right away, or somewhere in between? I have โ€ฆ Read more
