Fire!

TELL ME AGAIN

Volcano Choir - "Island, IS"

I'm going to be one of those old men who can't remember anything. I just know it. I already have some trouble. It's bound to get worse. It's that some moments just don't find their foothold, they never tether to another - so they drift out, away from me. The first hummingbird of summer (and mom in grassy shorts, watching expectantly) is still here, slower than I've ever seen it, and each feather, each bounce of light and shadow, each small gesture large enough to see, they're still here.

OOOOOOOOO

THE WATTLED SMOKY HONEY EATER PRESENTS: SUPER MASSIVE FUN TIME HOOTENANNY EXPLOSION WITH ROBOTS*!

(image via ffffound)

Summer is almost at an end, for most university students in and around New York City. For some of us, classes begin on the last day of August, an abrupt end to a summer that was, weather-wise, too short.

This is an invitation for YOU to come CELEBRATE the END OF SUMMER with US!

We will be on the roof of 100 S. 4th Street (The Rocket Factory) in Brooklyn, NY beginning at 4:00 PM.

So come and bring an instrument, your listening ears, some food or libations, and your friends!


If you'd like to perform, bring some songs/jokes/stories/&c with you, two at a time in a round-robin style hoot!

Check the event page on Facebook.

Performers so far include:

Yours truly

Lars Johnson-Ballard (of Alaska Alaska)

Oliver Ignatius

Flotzy

You!

AND MORE!

SO IMPROPER

Saint Seneca

Improper post. Real write-ups later. I'm beat, it's been a whirlwind week. But before I sleep, before you do anything else, listen to some Saint Seneca. I was fortunate enough to see these folks two nights back-to-back last week, and they were heart-warming and foot-stomping, audible "Wow"z and all, smiles everywhere. And honestly, that's what I want to see all the time. (They're also very nice, funny people. We went out to a diner and they had me covering my mouth way too much.)

Also: they have a 7" out now. BUY IT!

Clay's Top on the Top 10

I like what I'm hearing on the radio this summer. Keep us living fast, reminding us what season it is (thanks again too, Dream):

1. Drake - "You Da Best"

2. Mario ft. Gucci Mane - "Break Up"

3. Fabolous ft. Drake & The-Dream - "Throw it in The Bag (Remix)"

4. Jerimih - "Birthday Sex"

5. Lil Wayne ft. Young Money - "Every Girl"

I've been taking a bit of a hiatus from WSHE these summer months, shifting gears.

New pieces are in the works, and will be up soon. In the meantime:

"What You've Done to My World," by Mark Greif (N+1).
