If you thought this picture of a trippy-looking baby Albert Hammond Jr. was awesome, check out this most excellent picture of baby Al dragging on a ciggy. Woah, someone needs to stop digging up the Hammond family archives…I don’t want to get to the pictures of a 1-year-old Albert snorting coke off his diaper. BTW- […]

Ever since the weather has gotten warmer, I’ve been strategically spending less time indoors, and therefore away from my computer. I’ve been so busy not being at my computer that I’ve neglected to document some of the things I’ve been doing.
Last weekend I went gallery hopping with Matt in Chelsea, finally getting to see the […]

Up until now I failed to mention that I saw the awesomely rawk rock band The Sights last week at the Bowery Ballroom. They played loads of songs off of their new self-titled album on Scratchie Records. It’s really a fantastic album, so if you haven’t already picked it up, please go and do so. […]

Some days I get bummed about the Internet because there’s nothing to be jazzed about. But that day is not today! There was a whole load of Web goodness and fun stuff sent my way. Check it:

That’s why the next album is called McDonald’s: Over 4 Billion Served.’ Reminded of the chain’s recent offer to pay rappers to name-check burgers in their songs, […]

Yesterday I wrote a message to my mailing list:
“Late-breaking blind item news…
I like to think some of us still believe in keeping secrets in the
age of the all-divulging blog world.
Two great concert surprises are going on tonight. One slyly announced
and the other one unknown to the concertgoers.
One show below Houston has some hot power players […]

So last Friday I had some kind of extreme narcolepsy going on because I fell asleep sometime during the early evening while watching TV, only to wake up at 10:45 and realize I had to be at the Bowery Ballroom to see Stellastarr*–I mean “The Ligers“–perform at the launch of the NY2LON concert series.
By the […]

Phil, Yahoo Serious called, he wants his hair back.

I know this is far from being ground-breaking news, but I love that picture of Paris Hilton eating a hamburger. Now if we could only get Nicole and Lindsay to take a bite…
