It's fucking gorgeous out! My windows look out over the city and it's amazing. Can't wait to see everyone tonight! I apologize in advance for any of my stupid drunken antics. Also, thanks for all the e-mails, but I rarely check my e-mail because I never have the patients to weed out all the junk mail. Today I was invited to check out beautiful young...

Well, the new photo is up after much aggravation. It looks even more blown out here. The resolution was terrible. My first instincts about digital cameras were correct. I will never part with my Minolta ever again! I was hoping this would be a step up from the original fuzzy drunken Polaroid, but no such luck. Oh well, I wouldnt want you people to recognizing...

Well, it's Todd Time again! (did you ever see thst on MTV? He did a fashion bit a few years ago.) Well, about the band, I'm not at liberty to name names, but thier sound is a cross between the pumpkins and alittle early nin. Add a dash of ac/dc and that's about right. I was completely blown away at the practice ie: not prepared that this band was THIS good (label interest, tours, etc...) I felt like I was standing in the deep end of the pool (or sitting in with Tommy Lee) but I was given a cd to learn a few tunes and invited back. We'll see. Lookout Justin!

Yuck, I'm sick. But call me later anyway. I won't be drinking, so if I'm feeling better I can drive us down.
Yeah, I emailed it to you last night. You didn't get it?

Today was a heavy metal hair day \m/ I tried to tame it, but quickly realized I was outnumbered. Then I figured go big or go home! I think I took it a bit too far.
Just when I thought typography lecture was going to drive me insane, they decided to let us watch movie titles. It was pretty damn exciting compared to the usual....

Right on! Movie title type is about the best thing next to the film itself. Barbarella IS amazing. Also check out the titles for: Seven, The Panic Room, Snatch, Goldfinger and the bookends (beginning and end) of West Side Story. Two words: Saul Bass. As for the coffeee, can't shake the bean!

Yeah, I'm in. HA!
Today was a damn good day!
I went to the gym early this morning and because I was the only person there I got to watch a Bruce Willis movie on mute while listening to the Ramones and running. There's nothing quite like watching a bunch of men beat each other up while exercising.
Dont get too excited boys. I may spend a lot of...

Good morning-
Just back in from Vegas! The weather was beautiful and the bands and car show rocked! Yes, The guitarist Dennis is in the Deterrents and yes, they played the payback as well. Ty is basically the music MAN of Providence. You should definitely catch one of the wild card dj parties (it's at some pub near Lupos.) Any band that comes through, basically Ty has something to do with. Cheers to the early morning gym. I myself do the same thing (but without Bruce Willis) I mean how would you otherwise keep up the rockstar lifestyle without a little exercise. And it's great to see peoples faces when your running all in black and tattooed, while they're in multi colored spandex with white nikes. It totally throws off their workout. Especially here in Boston. Have a good one.

'bout time for a new entry.
I went to see Hot Hot Heat and the French Kicks on Monday. I must say I was impressed. Lots of energy. My only complaints:
1) the crowd was filled with indie rock hipsters and Kelly Osborn look-alikes.
2) every show I've ever been to at the Met has started grossly late. I can never seem to miss the...

to me it doesn't matter if they're arty or not...stop being pretentious, stop shopping at urban outfitters, stop asking the guys at in your ear if they have any tickets left to see "insert name of crappy emo guy who's name is a phrase ie. dashboard confessional, bright eyes here" and stop blocking traffic with the SUV you can't drive with the Nader for president sticker on it. i guess now i'm being pretentious, but it's my city too....and i want fast forward and taco maker back, not newbury comics mall style and starbucks you freakin indy rock fascists.....

You don't know HOW much it means to me that you remembered my leather jacket.... 
Last night I saw The Kings of Nuthin' at the Mid East. They never fail to amaze. Even if you're not in to rockabilly or punk they are still worth checking out. It's just a shame they can't light equipment on fire anymore. They still put on a fucking crazy show. Torr amazes me everytime he opens his mouth...well, when it's words that are coming...

The Providence posse is coming together slowly but surely....I had a spontaneous drink at the Flats with the_nihilist last night, and he's rad.
Yes, when mimi gets back, let's have some springtime drinky fun....

Well, pimping for RISD. Did you attend/or are attending? Getting a rebate? Did you get to catch the Epoxies, Groovie Ghoulies and Apers at the Middle East a couple weeks ago? That was a wild show. Epoxies were in prime and the Apers blew everyone away. What is it about scandinavian bands? Roxy was also cheery before while hanging.
This is a sad way to spend a Friday night. I promised myself I'd stay in so I can go to Boston tomorrow and see the Kings of Nuthin' at the Mid East and not worry about work the entire time. So now I'm hangin' out here procrastinating and thinking about the dull night ahead of me. It will be worth it tomorrow!

mm.. hot hot heat, eh? they put on a good show. saw them in portland, dansed the azz off. I'm probably going to have to pass, though. the next morning I'm taking off for a few days to see the fam in pittsburgh, so until then I'm going to be mad crazy with the school work and whatnot.
so, yeah, I feel your homework-related pain. skool sux.

He goes away and then comes back. Super sly. I miss him too.
HOT HOT HEAT! Monday April 14th, The Met, Providence!
The first thing I saw when I stepped out my door this morning was a squirrel eating a hot dog. It was a fat little guy with a stumpy tail. I wish I had had my camera. Something to make me smile on yet another rainy day.
Life is good, but I miss the sun.

wow, then I don't live far from you. that would be great if you showed up, though I have no idea how this show's going to go. then again, the act we're opening for is fabulous and worth seeing.
I say you me and roamingaround start a providence sg posse. that would be rad.

Epoxies hit Providence tomorrow night!!! Will I see any fellow SG fans there???? 
Well, it took me long enough, but I put up a pic for all the people who filter out the members without them when you search.
It's a drunken polaroid, but it's the best I've got. Pretty sad considering I do a lot of photography. Anyway, I'll borrow a digital camera and replace it asap.
hmmm. Maybe not having a pic was better than this.

...good advice...i'll do my best...
re: the new picture, I was just talking to a photographer friend of mine about how super-washed-out over-exposed photos make everyone look glamorous because traditionally beautiful people tend to have really blank innocuous feature-less faces. the uber-brightness in those digital photos sort of simulates that effect. does that make any sense?
