May 2010
We went to see Iron Man 2 last night. I really liked it, and despite not being a comic book reader ever, I am so excited for The Avengers & how all these characters/stories are intertwining. I wish I’d stayed for the teaser scene after the credits—I didn’t find out about it till this morning.

Hi, I’m just at the halfway mark of my first tour for “Take a Bow” and it is time to announce my SECOND one! It starts in Hoboken (New Jersey!) on July 6th with Cary Brothers. Cary Brothers was the first friend I made in LA some 4-5 years ago now and it seems like we have talked about touring together ever since. He is one of my best friends and sometimes you just have to take...

Kickstarter - Modern Skirts New Album Release →
Just a reminder, guys—Modern Skirts is putting out a new album, but they’re about $3000 short of making it happen. There are some pretty sweet rewards associated with the different pledge levels, but for just $10 you can basically pre-order the album—only you make it happen, with your donation.
This band means a lot to me, so if you have ten bucks (or more) to spare, please...

Oh hey guys, no big deal, just opening for KISS. I AM BAFFLED. BAFFLED I TELL YOU.
1. LOST. I was terribly unhappy with the last 10 minutes of the show while I was watching it. After talking to some people/reading some recaps, and just thinking it over, I’m pretty okay with it. There are definitely things I wanted answered, and there was a little too much Feeling It, but I don’t hate it anymore.
2. Empires. Yesterday I met up with Leeny and Amsa and we drove up to...

Notes to (Future) Self: On taking control... →
The other day, I finally caught an episode of How to Make It in America, and you know what? It pissed me off. Like everything about that show really pissed me off. I get five minutes into it, and I feel my eyes rolling around in my sockets and I get an urge to yell things like “Oh brother!” or…

Here is my Limbeck documentary! I hope you all love it as much as I do!
Some people who submitted videos and things didn’t make it in, most likely because of technical issues.. and I apologize for that. (I also apologize that it took me so long to get it on the internet… my life is crazy busy and I kept having technical issues.) But...
Good Old War "Poised For National Acclaim"
sargenthouse:
“About 25 minutes into my phone conversation with Keith Goodwin, singer/guitarist of the Philly indie-folk trio Good Old War, a female voice breaks into the line. It’s the band’s publicist, who facilitated the call.
“You guys’ll need to wrap this up in about five minutes,” she says, and then she’s gone.
“Wow,” marvels Goodwin, “this is the first time ever that I’ve done an...
