Okay, so. Awesome weekend. Went to the Catskills with Paul, who was competing in a triathlon. He basically biked, ran, and swam to the top of a mountain in New Paltz.
Even got some sun from being at the top of the mountain for so long. Apparently you can see six states from the top.
I spent all day at work listening to The Besties and some twee band from Iceland. I remember this guy in college who’s personal mission it seemed was to spread the word of ska. Well, that’s what twee is for me. No one seems to listen to it in NYC. Maybe it’s not all cocaine’d rockstar enough for this city, I dunno. But I think it’s making in-roads.
Anyways, it inspired me to start recording a new song: Tree Fort. This is only the first 30 seconds or so and it’s still very much in progress. But still, fun!
I’m very much considering going to the New England Popfest 2006. It’d be nice if I could find someone else who’d want to go, but every person I show it to says “I haven’t ever heard of any of these bands, ever.” I’m not bragging, I wish I had more people to talk about this music with.
This is a photo from the 1940s of the glow of an above ground nuclear bomb test as seen from Los Angeles. Apparently, it lit up the horizon as bright as day. Found on boingboing.
