I KIND OF MISS THE CRISP VERMONT AIR

IT'S NICE TO GET OUT OF THE CITY AND ESCAPE TO THE GREEN ROLLING MOUNTAINS OF VERMONT. YOU HIKE, PITCH A TENT, MAKE A CAMPFIRE, EAT RICE AND BEANS, GET WASTED ON WHISKEY BUT NOT REALLY FEEL IT THE NEXT MORNING, WAKE UP TO WOODPECKERS, ENJOY THE LUSH SCENERY... NEVERMIND THE RAIN, OMINOUS CLOUDS AND COLD GUSTY WINDS... ALL TO REMIND YOURSELF YOU JUST NEED A BREAK SOMETIME...
BUT THEN YOU FORGET TO BRING ANY DRAWING SUPPLIES AND YOU'RE LIKE FUCK I WANT TO DRAW...

WET HAIR AT MONSTER ISLAND

As it was Sunday and approaching midnight (the reason I opted to forego Psychedelic Horseshit), the crowd dwindled significantly between Mr. Maus’s exit and Wet Hair’s performance. With their latest effort, Dream, Wet Hair produced some of the best stuff that toes the line between psychedellic rock, noise, and skronky outsider jams. Shawn Reed’s detached, spooky vocals and primitive Casio keyboard tones are the perfect complement to Ryan Garbes’s muted drumming (the two even played off of one another from time to time during the show as Garbes stationed himself at a keyboard of his own). The duo took an equally rad turn away from this for their three songs however, as Reed utilized a more uptempo, almost funk beat early on that gave the whole set a more unanticipated, buoyant flavor. - ALEX ROLAND

DO YOU KNOW YOUR CREDIT SCORE?

MICHAEL JACKSON IS DEAD.

AT AROUND 5PM TODAY ON OUR BACK FROM AN AMAZING NEW AND CHEAP GROCERY STORE WE JUST FOUND IN GREENPOINT, WE OVERHEARD ONE DUDE ON HIS CELLPHONE YELL, "MICHAEL JACKSON IS DEAD." I PERSONALLY THOUGHT HE WAS KIDDING, BUT THE TRUSTY TMZ TOLD US IT WAS TRUE. SO, WHEN WE GOT BACK TO THE APT, WE PUT ON THRILLER, MADE SOME YUMMY BLUE CHEESE BURGERS, SET ASIDE THE ACCUSATIONS OF MOLESTATION, AND MOURNED FOR MR. JACKSON. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT, GUT TELLS ME THIS MAY BE A HOAX, AND IF IT IS... WHAT AN INCREDIBLY SMART MOVE ON HIS PART.

SEX OFFENDER SOLD ME A BIKE.

IN COLLEGE I LIVED AROUND THE CORNER FROM THIS HOUSE THAT ALWAYS HAD A PILE OF OLD BIKES FOR SALE. INSIDE LIVED THREE OLD MEN AND I WOULD SEE ONE BIKING AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD A BUNCH. AFTER CLASS I DECIDED TO BUY A BIKE ALONG WITH MY FRIEND MELISSA BECAUSE RICHMOND WITHOUT A BIKE IS KINDA LAME. I CHOSE A SIMPLE BROWN FRAMED BIKE WITH A NICE KICKBACK BRAKE THAT I CALLED PATRICK SWAYZE. I LATER FOUND OUT THROUGH MY ROOMATE AT THE TIME THAT THEY WERE ALL SEX OFFENDERS AFTER FINDING THEM ON A SEX OFFENDERS WEBSITE. THAT WAS REALLY FUN NEWS. I SHOULD SAY THOUGH THAT THEY WERE HARMLESS AT THE TIME I PURCHASED THEM CONSIDERING THEIR WRINKLED FLOPPINESS. I'M GUESSING THE BIKES THEY HAD WERE EITHER PICKED UP OFF THE STREET OR STOLEN. EITHER WAY I LOVED THAT BIKE, IT WAS THE BEST $15 I'VE EVER SPENT.

COLLAPSED BUILDING ON THE STREET I USED TO LIVE ON, MYRTLE AVE

I LIVED A BLOCK TO THE LEFT OF THE COLLAPSE, RIGHT IN FRONT OF THAT DISGUSTING NEW FUCK PAD YOU SEE GOING UP. I FEEL AWFUL FOR THE Y2FISH MARKET COMPANY, IT WAS A CUTE JAPANESE COUPLE THAT RAN IT, AND THOUGH VESPER BAR WAS KINDA LAME, EXCEPT FOR GETTING TO WATCH SOME NBA AND TENNIS GAMES ON THEIR FLAT SCREENS, I FEEL FOR 'EM TOO.
