I've been watching my money, saving up for holiday.

I've been watching this video way too much. The new album comes out soon.




Here's the video for Radio Ladio also.




And if those 2 weren't kooky enough; My Heart Rate Rapid.

Hey, I went to New York.

I went to New York a month ago and now I can finally show you the pictures.

Day 1.

Caught an early flight to New York with a stop over in Toronto.



Can you see the C.N Tower? It's in there. I had to sit there for 2 hours listening to these 3 ladies talk about Indiana Jones and cell phone plans. They were on a business trip, but I couldn't figure out what for.



I arrived at LaGuardia around 4 or 5 and met up with my friend Krisjanis, that's him and his apartment. He lived right across the street from Columbia and a block from the Seinfeld Dinner.



We didn't do much that night, I got a black and white cookie, and we played some Mario Kart 64.

Day 2.

We got up early and headed downtown.

Krisjanis said these were the two buildings that collapsed on each other from Cloverfield. I still don't think they are.



We stopped for some excellent falafel from this place.



Then we went record shopping.

First up was Bleeker Street Records, on Bleeker Street. It was really expensive and didn't have anything I wanted.



Next we went to Generation Records, which was o.k, I spent some money and got some newer stuff.

THEN came Rockit Scientist Records. Which was amazing, they were so helpful and suggestive, I ended up spending a large chunk of change there. They had lots of psych-rock and noise records.

There was a pretty good comic shop across the street too.



Then we got hungry so we made the big trek over to Katz's.



They had pictures of every Jewish celebrity I could think of on the wall.



This is the only food picture I took. It was a corned beef combo, (half corned beef, half tongue, first time ever trying tongue) and an egg cream to drink. Still not exactly sure what that was.



While we were down in the lower east side we checked out Supreme (only for the hottest dudes) and the WESC store, which didn't have the headphones I wanted.



After our big day out we went back to Krisjanis's space.




OMG!



Day 3.

Got up early and caught a train to Chelsea to see some galleries. Highlights were the Neo Rauch and David Altmejd exhibits. Of course I couldn't take pictures, but the links I provided will take you to the galleries site.



After that Krisjanis had some meeting, so I went and spent the afternoon at the MET!


Here's a tomb of some kind.



Here's a statue thingy.



This room was neat.



Do you remember this painting from Ferris Bueller's day off? When Cameron is contemplating his life and it keeps getting closer and closer!



Like this!



Here's some goof-ball who got in the way of my picture!



I don't remember what we did that night, probably went out for Mexican food.

Day 4.

We got up later than we hoped and motored our way down to Cooper Union for the Creativity Now conference. It's for Tokion Magazine and I had no idea it was even going on until the day before.




We were lucky, because this year they had a comedy panel featuring:



David Cross



Zach Galifianakis, and this other lady who I have never heard of named Maria Bamford. She was kind of funny.... For a girl!



Then some other nerds talked about other things.



After that we headed back to Columbia. This is where Krisjanis graduated.



Outside shot of where we stayed.



Then we had some huge pizza slices for supper.



Unbelievable!



Day 5.

Got up and jumped on a bus for an hour long ride to LaGuardia. It was rainy and shitty out.



It's freaky taking off and landing over water.



But I had some familiar friends there for me.

Extra-censory Perception

The BPA - Toe Jam feat. David Byrne & Dizzee Rascal





Another nudey music video, again, please don't watch at work.

The BPA are The Brighton Port Authority. They have another song where Iggy Pop sings.

Here's something else Mr. Byrne has been doing.

The Rock-afire Explosion!

I thought this was home video of some kids 6th birthday at Chuck E. Cheese, until I realized everything was perfectly in sync.



Song: HUEY - Pop, Lock, and Drop it

I guess old nerds are buying up all the Pizza Show-biz characters and re-programming them to do whatever songs they want.
