Doing my rounds on meh patrol

Record reviews for old fucks. Roots and LCD: zzzzzzzzzzz and meh.

Mar 1st

Started last nights 6 miler at slower than normal pace but after the halfway mark ran negative splits and ended up at my usual pace. Off for a few months so warming up takes longer but felt great to be back.

Who's that? Brooooooown!

Produced by the gawd Johnny Juice. Leaders reunion 12/23 at Knitting Factory btw, don’t think Busta will show but it would be nice. LONS completely captured the free wheeling blunts pussy and music freedom of suburbia unapologetically. And the Gates was boom.

10k + 5k

Ran the wonderful Cow Harbor 10k and the Steven Siller Tunnel to Towers 5k this past weekend. Two great runs. The 10k was in downtown Northport, a seaside town that is as classy and understated as the shirts they gave out for the run (my favorite so far, minimal advertising on the shoulder and a nice three color image on the back). It was unseasonably warm and humid, and there was a killer...

Like poison in my eyes Henry

Back on the horse and enjoying the beginning of Fall running. Did the big loop in Central Park for the first time since July last night. Tough run but I still managed just under 10 minute miles. This despite an annoying side stitch and the bugs that flew directly into each of my eyes and remained there for about 4 of the 6 miles. Also ditched the music for the last half and the quiet helped a lot.

A beautiful buzz

Exile on Main Street has been on repeat for a few weeks now, never was a fan of the Rolling Stones but I done seen the light. Don Was calls it their Apocalypse Now, both were made right in that lights are on and the party’s over aftermath of the 60’s. Go see Stones in Exile and luxuriate in the debauchery of cotton candy heroin, swastika shaped air vents and royal court style mate...

I honestly have shoes older than Drake

Two from late model Elvis who gets better as he gets older. This gives me comfort. Armond White sez you shouldnt get to review a movie before 30 cause you still don’t know shit. This I agree with, and also, gives me comfort.

WBLS at 4am in 1986. The Eno joint is a ringer and note that the second ESG record is, by tradition and custom, supposed to be played at 33 1/3 rather than its intended 45. Couldn’t find a slowed version. My homie once produced a beat on the spot for C&C Music factory’s Clivilles* using UFO, its like the sriracha sauce of dj records. And you’ll want to lower the...

LTTP: Battlestar Gallactica

I’m holding my breath watching this thinking “don’t suck, don’t suck” So far so good. Grace Park is banging but has the acting chops of a popsicle stick. Still. Pass issued: I’m watching this while running - copped a cheap Iphone case and glued that fucker to my treadmill console, streaming Netflix w/ headphones makes the miles fly by. 11 today for what...

Even if now she got a perm

Shit happens. People grow up and go fishing. One of my favorite records from all parties involved but Kane’s furious verse is particularly fresh.

I'll take my victories where I can

nother short run last night - 4 easy peasy miles. I think I’ll cope with the heat this summer by doing a lot more shorter runs instead of killing myself with 9 milers three times a week. So far so good. This way I can keep up my miles per week average and not die from heat exhaustion. That’s the plan anyways. This came on shuffle while I was running, and even though it was the...

Quick and easy 5 miles on the treadmill, nice and smooth run just not very comfortable with the humidity. Still nice to get back on again. Shooting for another 3 or 4 easy miles tonight. Last night’s run brought to you by Peter King’s African Dialects.

Quick note

As this Lebron shit has consumed the office (granted its a summer friday). While this fuck and his jock sniffing courtesans where having a tea party on ESPN, and while this question of which corporations laundry we should all root for or against next season was being breathlessly answered, I was out running. That is all.

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs

Chopped up and sauteed some garlic hot red and green peppers, bell peppers, asparagus, red onion, and Arthur Ave. freshly grated parm for a midnight omelette after a quick 3 and 1/3 Mi. run at the park while the familly watched some kids movies outdoors. They had great fun, I struggled a bit having been off the horse for the past two weeks due to the humidity and other shit. Looking forward to a...

Midget: haha
Me: And laying perfectly. absolutely. still.
Midget: zzzzzzzzzzzz

Take two tablespoons of olive oil heat it up in a skillet. Mince half cup each of carrot, peeled celery and onion crush three cloves of garlic, cook for about 10 minutes add a can of drained canned tomatoes, salt and pepper, cook for another 10 minutes or so adding a little of the tomato sauce if necessary. Throw out the jars of spaghetti sauce in your cupboard. *and Mark Bittman

No Sex Please, We're Middle Class →

My intellectual crush Paglia, on female Viagra, libido, and the terrible state of sexual politics: WILL women soon have a Viagra of their own? Although a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel recently rejected an application to market the drug flibanserin in the United States for women with low libido, it endorsed the potential benefits and urged further research. Several...
