things: got to talk to daph yesterday - sounds like amsterda-damn was off the hook (ps ask her about nick nolte), now she's in spain visiting her brother, waiting for the ibiza shows this weekend! i left work at 4:10, bought some film on the way home (35 + 120), sat in the AC for a while (it was wicked humid inside and out when i got home), had a pabst and started re-reading generation x by

2004-08-13T18:22:00.000-04:00

so, long time no post been busy over at music for robots. busy working, when i'm actually at work, which thankfully hasn't really been all that much during the past month or so, since i've got vacation-days i have to use up. busy on friday nights with my usual gig at flute bar, and there's gonna be the occasional wednesday-night-party at tainted lady. for now i'm busy by my lonesome self, since

2004-07-18T19:19:00.000-04:00

sunday evening i have the next week off work, with plans to... do very little. so since there's not much going on here, try over at the other site

WTC?!? take a look at this article in the times about the karaoke revival, with photos from my fav neighborhood bar, royal oak!

2004-07-09T14:34:00.000-04:00

shizzle, fizzle, dizzle? its friday and i'm nearly done with work - can you believe i get off at 3? ha ha, sucks to be on the west coast right about now right? so robots topped out at over 3K hits yesterday... looks like our audience has expanded a bit - i wonder how many of those visitors will come back for more? ... . is it 3 yet?

2004-07-08T16:13:00.000-04:00

holy crap - robots got mentioned in a reuters news article about mp3 blogging yesterday, and got picked up by USA Today, now we're getting double the hits... holy crap indeed!

2004-07-06T14:03:00.000-04:00

weekend brilliant, beautiful, fun, funny and sad the wedding was amazing - i'll post some photos when i get the chance to upload some, and it was great to see so many friends; the day after was amazing too, spent on a lake in southern NH. plus i had the day off yesterday, so cresswell and i cruised around, hit the gugg and later on daph and i saw spiderman 2, which was totally awesome.

2004-06-24T12:49:00.000-04:00

had jury duty yesterday for the first time in my life... i wish i could say something good about it, like "it was a lot more interesting than i expected it to be" or "i feel like i participated in america's beautiful system of justice" but thost things aren't true. it was totally, unbelievably boring. boring boring boring boring. damn - maybe next time it will be better.

2004-06-21T11:26:00.000-04:00

what season is it WTC?!? is it spring? fall? certainly not summer solstice, right? i just think it is too beautiful to be summer. this weekend daph and i went away to her family's place up in woodstock... it was pretty much perfect. i don't think i'd left the city since april, so it was really good to be out in the country, up in the mountains, sitting by the pond, etc. the cell phone didn't work

2004-06-18T12:37:00.000-04:00

naked chef? no, i usually cook fully clothed, as i don't want to get any bits and bobs burned by hot oil or something. last night's dinner: fancy pasta, like a bolognaise 1 pound (one box) farfalle (bowtie pasta) three quarters of a pound ground beef (chuck - more fat = more flavor) 6 roma tomatoes - diced one medium-size vidalia onion - diced handful of fresh basil - roughly chopped or

awesome way to start week: renny and eileen coming to visit before they drive down to austin. not-awesome way to start week: technical issues starting first thing in the morning, after similar problems every day last week.

2004-06-09T15:06:00.000-04:00

screwy i tell you, some days are better than others, and some plays are batter than otters. do i needs a haircut? i can't tell... its looking pretty rock, but i don't know if that's a good thing or not. watched City of God last night with daph - whew... it was intense. it was a really good movie, really well done, great look, great story, but jesus, i don't know that i'd be able to watch it

land o' plenty its wednesday and my day is nearly over, just over two hours more... i'm beat today, so i can't wait. i was here early yesterday and today for the elementary school's performance of alice in wonderland, based on the book, but more-so on the disney cartoon, which was... weird. i know its my job to make the technical things work, but man, if a kid is going to be on stage, they should

2004-05-28T10:04:00.000-04:00

rock friday - chilly day, but at least the week is basically over... looks like i'm covering a class today, so my afternoon will be full-up, but i'll survive anyway, because: DJ tonight, BBQ (or two or three) tomorrow, Monday off, at which point girlfriend comes home from cali where she and deb are doing a show and DJ gig. robots is still kicking it with some really great posts by everyone

2004-05-25T15:18:00.000-04:00

what? what day is it? is it friday yet?

2004-05-24T11:35:00.000-04:00

what i did this weekend

2004-05-21T09:42:00.000-04:00

modern fridays see, i think every job (by which i mean actually including mine) should had a casual friday rule - true, i'm wearing sneakers again instead of 'nice' work shoes, but damn it, i want to wear jeans and a T-shirt on fridays. its a simple request, but it would make my week a lot better. crazy weekend lined up... well, mostly just tomorrow, as its the day of bachelor/ette rediculous

2004-05-17T12:03:00.000-04:00

bang bang so this weekend was pretty silly... post-flute, i hit the B-Bar for debbie's party, which was, as usual, completely bonkers. this lead to a 5am bedtime, which made for a late start on saturday. daph and i dropped stuff off at beacon's closet to sell, had amazing brunch (omlette with collards, swiss cheese and bacon, w/included bloody mary!) at a new place, williamsburg cafe, then hit

2004-05-14T14:45:00.000-04:00

i can try, i can try, i can try... its finally friday here in digital nu york - i've been busy this week, with a birthday, running the show at work for a day, cleaning up my blog code (thanks markie), posting a little bit of this and a little bit of that over at robots, saw a dentist for the first time in years and got off with a cleaning now and another in a month, but no cavities (ha, fuckers!)

2004-05-12T11:34:00.000-04:00

2004-05-11T12:41:00.000-04:00

i'm not sure how to feel about this - on the one hand, it sounds like more american millitary as world savior bullshit, but at the same time, i know a portion of the islamic world hates our guts, so training local millitaries to take care of things on their own doesn't seem that bad... The New York Times > U.S. Training African Forces to Uproot Terrorists i'm left totally confused and slightly

holy christ... my friend dave pointed this (cover!) story out to me this morning and i almost did a coffee spit-take all over my computer: The New York Times <> How to Catch Fish in Vermont: No Bait, No Tackle, Just Bullets (seriously, this is a real article about "fish shooting" in vermont. no, seriously.)

2004-05-06T10:33:00.000-04:00

not quite yet i am of course referring to friday. true, thursday is close, i mean, like six and a half hours left of work today, then i'm scott free - tonight will be fun, but i won't ruin a certain somebody's surprise by telling you all what it is. last night was fun too - the OC? holy nuts it was crazy... that show, man, i tell you. markie is over it, but its got its hooks in me still - the

qt good weekend = boozie, lazy, poppy (in no particular order) saturday - brunch with crew at teddy's then lying around in the grass in the park, confessions of a dangerous mind (really quite good actually), indian for dinner, then *foods for boozy + woody's pop mastery with my girl, jp, tamara, jeff and julia sunday - lazy QT with my daphne monday? damn, back at work already? WTF?!?

2004-04-30T09:14:00.000-04:00

sproing another beautiful day in paradise, uhh, i mean, new york city! thank god its friday! free dress day! um, plus some other cliche's i can't think of at the moment! last night daph and i had dinner at tamara's that JP-daddy cooked up for us - sukiyaki (sp?) - and holy sheeeit was it ever good - i brought the kirin and the sake, so that made everyone happy... tonight is another sweet night

2004-04-25T13:16:00.000-04:00

animate me watched kill bill vol. 1 last night with JP - i'd only seen it on the plane to england on a tiny LCD screen in the seat in front of me, so seeing it on DVD on a good TV with good sound made a big difference in the experience... highly reccomended to those of you who still haven't seen it. anyway, because i was curious about the anime sequence of the movie, i looked up the production

2004-04-24T17:37:00.000-04:00

finally have a looksie at my trip to england with the amazing avenue d (there's photos of us running around, having curry in manchester and the show there, the return to new york party, seeing phoenix live, and the show with the scissor sisters!)

2004-04-24T16:47:00.000-04:00

sprung chronology: bagel store, sitting on a stoop outside, walking around the neighborhood, bought the unicorns' who will cut our hair when we are gone?, spring cleaning, got the new record shelves up and filled, laundry, dishes, and more general apartment fixing up - the girl is still in brazil till sometime tomorrow, so i've done all of this before she comes home - she will be impressed and

2004-04-22T15:08:00.000-04:00

bonkers so I’m beat guys – totally beat. its been a long week, and being 26 is tough, I'll tell ya. I’ve been splurging on buying records lately - more tech/house from France and Germany (Kitsune and others), more electro (new ep from two lone swordsmen… sick - may have to post something over at robots), and tons, I mean tons, of great 70s and 80s rock – daph and I found this amazing dollar

2004-04-21T09:26:00.000-04:00

older but apparently no wiser - that's okay though - i had an amazing time on monday night: dinner w/my baby, drinks, cake and karaoke with my friends... plus i have the t-shirt. thanks to everyone who came out - i love you guys

2004-04-15T01:43:00.000-04:00

six days is enough, innit? the answer is no. no, it is not. england is awesome and i can't wait to go back - the d's shows were amazing, the nights out were great, the curry just like i remembered it, the lager better, and our hosts were absolutely brilliant. i can't thank everyone enough for the amazing trip. ps. i miss my girlfriend cuz she's still there

2004-04-05T13:44:00.000-04:00

counting down 30-some-odd hours left in this country, then its jumptime... UK here i come! till then, here's a few songs from the new japanther 12" - i'm posting these for my friends to check out the band and hopefully buy some of their releases (ian and everyone else, if you aren't down with sharing like this, email me and i'll happily take them down) - Evil Earth, Midtown, Super Tap - check

2004-04-02T09:56:00.000-05:00

if you wondered why i'm not posting much its because the net filtering we have recently got working properly at work also filters a bunch of sites i frequent, like friendster, and blogger... so i have to disconnect from the network and steal someone's wireless bandwidth for a bit whenever i want to post something. which is a pain in the ass. avenue d was in hotlanta last night, and next week they

2004-03-30T12:15:00.000-05:00

getting old? avenue d v. japanther - last night kicked ass... the D was amazing, even though the sound wasn't perfect (i've heard so much worse); japanther kicked serious ass, mine included - half of their set was surprisingly melodic, the other half they played their hardcore stuff... my body is really sore from dancing/the pit, so i've either forgotten what its like to go to that kind of show,

2004-03-27T14:18:00.000-05:00

UK watch out! ok, so here's a couple of the parties at which the avenue d is going to be killing it: holy crap right? plus there's the party where the D is opening for the scissor sisters...

2004-03-26T09:22:00.002-05:00

wow awesome - i have a lot to report there is so much going on... i'm going to london with my girlfriend on (part of) their UK tour in a couple of weeks - holy crap!!! i'll get to see them play in manchester (so awesome i can't believe it), then down to london for a couple of shows and a DJ gig - this is a birthday present from Daph (and my friends), and is clearly the best present ever. period.

2004-03-20T19:25:00.000-05:00

saturday its saturday evening... daph and i just got finished watching school of rock and i can say without a doubt that it was totally awesome. jb is sick, the kids are amazing, the story is cute but not too cute - in the dvd extras he mentions making a kids movie that doesn't suck, like back when kids movies were awesome (meaning the 80s and early 90s), and it succeeds there. last night was

2004-03-14T16:08:00.000-05:00

pakt awesome - last night I went to the new williamsburg club, volume, to see/hear the kompakt/rephlex party... man, it was sweet. I went with Angela, and we danced the night away - I mostly stuck to the kompakt room, where I heard superpitcher and michael mayer destroy hundreds of people with the most beautiful techno I've heard - some of the songs they were playing, wow, so amazing - it was

am i on drugs? that's the question i was asking myself while watching the triplets of bellevile, because it was seriously super bizarre - no really audible dialogue, super strange but still beautiful artstyle, and a weird weird weird story. anywho, i went to see it tonight with linds and eileen and i'm glad i did. the rest of the weekend was pretty solid too - friday night at flute was really

spicy grabbed a bacon, egg 'n cheese on a hero this morning... with salsa verde on it - its awesome. last night i finally got around to finishing delillo's underworld - i definately liked the book, and thought the concluding section was solid, but the epilogue was less so, and i couldn't help but feel a little underwhelmed with it finally. since i got through that guy, i started on the

2004-02-29T17:00:00.000-05:00

killed whitey crazy crazy night last night... kill whitey, jeremy's booty party that the avenue d girls DJed, was crazy - the party was at a private biker bar, an 'unknown' group (i'm looking into who these guys are, but so far i can tell they're a national group, like hell's angels or crazy pistons), and they were awesome. they mostly hung around, ran the bar and the door, but once it got late

2004-02-26T16:08:00.001-05:00

ongoing... let's go a little further shall we? From jail cell, professor tells her story - fucking rediculous, and so completely full of bullshit, I don't even know what to say. You know what I think? I think she knew exactly what she was doing, and I think she didn't believe she would get caught.

blah blah blah, whee! so tonight is the night, avenue d is finally officially releasing their CD, and tonight is the CD release party at Plaid (13th btwn 4th + Broadway) - it should re-ding-dong-diculous, so anyone and everyone should come check them out. in other news markie and lisa stopped by here last night and stayed on the floor - they were beginning the x-country drive and starting from

well fed that's me - this weekend daph and i ate so well... jesus - we made a pair of bacon, mushroom, onion 'n' cheese quiche on saturday night that was awesome (just ask j-pizzle), then last night we made a killer roast chicken with veg... they were both so good we decided to try to do one (or both) at least once a month and have people over for dinner. just bring the wine and salad or

you are a huge nerd thanks to JP and Tamara, Daph and I got to see Trekkies last night... holy crap is that movie awesome. well, the people are awesome anyway - Daph was like 'the editing drove me crazy' which I totally agreed with. oh, the weather sucks ass today (when I say 'sucks ass' it would help to imagine Jack Black saying it, like he does in High Fidelity), and I wish I hadn't had to

oh, no you didn't last night was fun, though now i'm kind of reeling and my head is hurty. i went mostly digital last night at le flute, so i didn't drive. since i didn't drive, i didn't take care to not drink too much like i usually do, and as such i drank too much. it was fun, and jp, tamara, anders and angela dropped by after their h. rollins show. after i left, for some reason i wanted to

everything was exactly as it seemed man, what a weekend - dude! Daph and I rented the dvd of 'fast times at ridgemont high' - that movie is so awesome... I can't imagine a movie tackling sex, drugs, and high school with that much good humor, sadness and tact in this day and age. I mean, sure you can get away with showing kids doing the same stuff (I think), but it would inevitably end up being

beep beep beep beep that's a busy signal, because i had a busy long weekend that included lots ot QT with daph and a surprising amount of relaxing, which was needed after a busy work-week. i DJ-ed thursday and friday night, had saturday brunch, watched the last unicorn (not exactly how i remembered it from the last time i saw it at age... uh, what, like seven?), went rock 'n rollerskating (

Sandokan! i don't know much about it at all (though i did find this!)- i recorded it off an "international super-hits" type of record from the late 70s, one of those salvation army finds... all i've been able to find is that it's composed by De Angelis, but there wasn't any performer information on the

chocolate & cheese fondue that is - we had ourselves a sick little party at our house on saturday night with fondue - cheese with bread, apples and red peppers, and chocolate with apples, pears, bananas and poundcake; and cocktails - loads of vodka and gin, which meant martinis (gin and vodka, as well as sour apple), _____ & tonic, tom collins', black russians, plus keith brough over a bottle of

brrrr "dang, i think the heat's off" - this could have been said in my apartment this morning, because it was really cold in there when i got up. it also could have been said here in my office, because cold air pours in from the (solitary) window in the room, and the heat... well, i won't say it doesn't work, because it does - the floor-runner heating thing is warm-ish - it just don't work too

font's revenge! so my boss sent me this link for fontifier - its a site where you download a template, fill it out, scan it and send it to this site, then it spits a truetype font right back to you, and you've got a font of your own handwriting! see?

frosty you may have noticed the new winterized look the ol' blog has taken on, which corresponds rather well with NYC's current weather - i mean, its winter, so fine, ok, its supposed to be cold, but when i came back from miami it was in the 50s, ne 60 degrees outside - now its 25 with a windchill of 12, for eff's sake! anywho, earlier today we had a little excitement because an apartment a

aus Deutschland continuing with the free traxxx, now that i'm back and you're hungry for more, here's a pair of songs by this awesome electro-pop group, 2raumwohnung (i've been told it means two room flat/apartment or thereabouts) - [ed: gone are] "du un ich" (you and i) and "leibe one ende" (end of love, or the love is over, or something) - anywho, they're both awesome songs, so enjoy![ed: sorry

flurry not snowing, just rain today; its the activity - my girrrl is coming home today/tonight sometime, driving up from miami with carrie, dave, maria elena and deedee. i'm not sure where they are at this point, since when i talked to her yesterday whilst i was in the mega kim's vid, they were driving through orange groves (tropicana anyone?)... i'm helping keef move more of his stuff, and i may

1500 miles miami isn't that far away from new york - well, that's a pretty good distance, i know, but the feeling i had down there was worlds away from being in the city. its great to be back, for sure, but it was also great to be on vacation. really great. this is going to be an abreviated version of the 11 days, because so much happened - basically it was daph and i together a lot, plus hanging

almost time to get out of here... got the christmas shopping done and things wrapped and on their merry way, helped keith move some of his stuff over to his new apartment - this is kind of sad, as an end of an era, since keith has lived in that apartment for years - as long as i've been coming down to new york, you know? but i know he's going to be happy in his new co-habitation situation, and

sicko re: mark I feel like I'm in 12 monkeys or something. Everyone is sick. Sick sick sick *cough* is what I hear all day long. I'm surrounded on all sides. "It started as the flu. And then people started dying. It spread so fast we couldn't control it and had to move underground." When's the last time you remember people dying from the flu? I'm no conspiracy theorist or paranoiac, but I'm

ooh! look at me! ITC Blair Medium: "Jim Spiece, went back to the turn of the century to find the inspiration for Blair. Wide, stark Blair looks like a variation on its contemporary... Blair was issued by the Inland Foundry in 1900, but similar faces had been in use even earlier.

mysterious and spooky i finally rented and watched spirited away last night - f'ing amazing, incredible, beautiful, etc. etc. there are many other words i could use to describe the movie, but really, if you have seen it, you already know what i'm talking about, and if you haven't, please do yourself the favor of seeing it as soon as possible. it just goes to show what a true master of animated

kooky man, i know everyone is starting to complain about how cold it is, and that winter is coming, and blah blah blah, so if i say anything on the subject it should either be different or i should just say nothing at all... but fuck me is it ever cold. seriously, when i was walking home last night (another late night at c'hill) i noticed all the little puddles on the street were frozen

letter To the Lady on the bus this morning, I know it is not nice to make fun of a person's physical differences, however, your amazing wandering/lazy eye was just too much for me at 8:15am. I found it heee-larious. Have a nice day, Me

thanks lots to be thankful for this past week: daphne and her family's hospitality and generosity; loads of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry confit, and seven pies for fourteen people; small(ish)-town salvation army stores (twenty records for $20, including 45s of aerosmith's "dude looks like a lady" and whitensake's "here i go again" in never-played condition); master and commander:

25 its daphne's birthday today - it is fairly often that i am struck by how amazing she is, but birthdays are supposed to be extra special, so i'll say some things here. why is she so amazing? well, she is a total rock star, for real, she is a straight-A graduate student, she is a teaching intern, and a freelance video editrix... she's really beautiful, smart, funny and talented... i don't know

fire and rock listening to: the white stripes elephant album, just heard "ball and biscuit" - man, seriously, that one song is enough to make me want to run out and buy a guitar... this one in particular - the SG is just sick.
