*** Jeff just sent me this small montage of pictures from his 4th of July Brooklyn BBQ. Everyone who was there should take a look, and if you weren't, look anyway because I'm in the first frame.
*** Also, All Music has launched a new format. Check it and get informed.
*** Brian, of I Keep a Diary, has updated with some new pictures. Check out this link to see if you were the passed out girl who had a big photo opp last Christmas.

jay, buddy, it's nice to finally see you in action. that's to say, i watched your 4th o' july reel and i really like your disciplined drinking techniques. looks like you were on point for the long haul. but dude, i can't help commenting on the hipster hegemony among your crew. that guy working the bbq is classic. plus i've never seen so many hoodies, cut jean skirts, and low collar, loud color shirts on so many chicks. i hate clowning you on this shit because i'm not really an asshole or a prepster and i'm more giggly than angry. let me guess, though, everyone of these guys were in a college band (and mostly ones that start with "the" and that sported more than one guitar player) but broke up because they didn't really care anyway. i mean, these dudes look like off-duty rock stars. actually, and no offense, but justin timberlake dresses exactly like half these guys. well, timberlake or julio eglasias with alot of nyu thrown into the mix. i'm not trying to suck your balls, but you seem the only one not putting in a hard core effort to establish a local indy stardom and to date a chick that looks like she was in the go go's. but the chicks of course were never in too many bands because they were busy waxing bubblegum crushy on green shirt bbq man (no doubt a solid guitar player). holy fuck, what a jerk i am and i'm totally sure all your buddies are cool, but you have to admit i've got a point. scat turdly
oh scat, for once i can finally say you are completely wrong and feel very confident about it. first of all, even though they couldn't give a shit, i don't appreciate anyone coming on here and making snap judgements on my friends based on their clothing or their friends. say what you will about me (i open myself to comment by subjecting my social life to this forum) but the kids who were in attendance at that bbq are some of the most genuine driven young people i've ever met. yes, most of us met at college. yes, a few of them are in bands who are still trying to get deals. and yes, we all dress like we've lived on the lower east side or in brooklyn for the last six years because we have. no one there comes close to attempting to hold up some sort of indie cred. they could give a shit. if anything those comments encapsulate me more than any kid i regularly associate with. its easy to pick fun at any of the things you mentioned, but when it gets down to the nitty gritty, those kids are out to have a good time and isn't that what being young, dumb and poor in the city is all about?
ps. i'd love to date one of the go go's, but my tattoo's aren't nearly as cool as simon's.
seriously though, i was just fucking around. i really didn't mean half that shit. plus, after about 30 beers people like me tend to confuse those eglasiass (i think i meant enrique). i can barely remember writing that stuff. i'd had a very very bad day and right now i'm so dehydrated and hungover that my organs feel chapped. work and life both suck! scat turdly
