Record label manager, freelance writer, guitar slinger, occasional gadfly — mostly in that order. Based in NYC since the golden age of hip-hop.
Closing out 2022 with a glimpse of three murals by Magda Love, Al Diaz and Eduardo Kobra on the City-As-School wall in the West Village, NYC. Not to get too sentimental about it, but to me all three signify the hope we invest in future generations — a thought worth holding close, I think, as we leave this nutty year in the rearview. Here’s to 2023 showing us the way with love, trust, positive change and just a touch of light humor to stave off the ever-encroaching darkness. 🎶 #PowerToThePeople
One thing I love about living in NYC is the ever-present chance of encountering randomly cool glimpses of style and quirky individuality — especially in the cars people drive. I caught this vintage Ford Falcon (looks like a ’64 Sprint, if I’m not mistaken) on W 28th in Chelsea over the weekend. I half expected to see California plates on it! A rare bird indeed…
No idea who snapped it, but in the recent wake of all the 80th birthday nods to Jimi Hendrix, this image has quickly become one of my favorite candid shots. Basically captures his entire vibe of existential cool in a fleeting moment — and he’s not even holding a guitar.
“Driving” over the computer-plotted surface of Venus at the Museum of Natural History’s Hayden Planetarium for the first in their Frontiers Lecture series since March 2020, with Neil deGrasse Tyson and Prof. Martha Gilmore hosting. A total treat for the astro-nerds among us!
Just a little taste of the High Line (NYC) by night. I’m getting definite Blade Runner vibes from the Zaha Hadid building at 520 W 28th St.
I think Elmo actually landed on the worst possible way to roll out the “new and improved” Twitter Blue. Probably won’t be long now… h/t @rafaelshimunov
