Delay, delay, delay: blog more!

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

That above is probably one of the coolest, most creative mainstream comic book covers I have seen in a long time. Also, it doesn’t hurt that the inside is all great! Check out the new Captain America, it came out this Wednesday!
Have you heard the new Sun Kil Moon record “April”? I slacked on it, [...]

The friend ship.

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

I have had a bit of an absence from the internet from February on to this very month of March. In fact, I wouldn’t even limit said absence to the web, but to real life as well. What to blame it on? Usually, I would say music but this has been a bit of a [...]

Helvetica & you.

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

Being snowed in this weekend caused me to watch many movies with Netflix’s instant movies feature. One that I’ve been coming back and forth to since I got the service was Gary Hustwit’s 2007 “Helvetica“, a documentary about the font. Who knew (besides graphic designers and the like) that it is the most widely used [...]

Alison’s getting her tits pierced!

Personally, it’s been an exciting time to be a nerd these last couple of days, on all fronts.
To start, last night’s LOST was another amazing entry in a fantastic season. I’ve never been one to be rabid over television unless it is something with my sense of [...]

Slick Rick.

I dig on Peter and the Wolf a ton, and if the roads didn’t suck in my parts, I would so be there. But that’s no excuse for you (unless it is), if you’re in Connecticut you should check it out. Also next week Gary Higgins is playing that joint, how exciting.

Radical.

Monday, February 4th, 2008

So much to be excited about: a new computer forthcoming for one, “Super Tuesday” tomorrow (hope I can make it over to vote before work, if not FUCK WORK), Criminal trade #2 (read this series) and much much more.
A big thing I am excited about is that I gave in and signed up for Netflix. [...]

Fantastic.

Monday, January 21st, 2008

I fucking love comics. Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch start their (what I hope to be) legendary run on Fantastic Four next month and I might be more excited for that than I have been for any comic ever in my life. I love FF to death, but in my lifetime, there has never really [...]

Joey’s personal best of 2007 list: extended!

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

It’s a beautiful day here in the Northwest corner of Connecticut. Sorry for our blogging absence. I started work on my top 10 favourite 7 inches of 2007 (a blog exclusive), but then decided to re-work it and never got to posting it. It’s now up to 12 vinyls and I will try and finish [...]

Dear Connecticut: UGH!

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

It is snowing here so I decided to get down and dirty about something that has been on my mind, mostly triggered from last night.
I ventured over to New Haven, CT last night to say goodbye to one our only bands to ever “make it” in a sense, Hot Rod Circuit. And granted, I [...]

We love you Dave Conway!

Monday, December 10th, 2007

Sir Dave Conway of ECA Records is asking for help for something really awesome, so I’m posting it here. Support dearest Conway, for he is amazing and an old friend.

I love to travel. I love love love it. Sometimes I’ll beg a band to let me tag along [...]
