The Man Who Came to Stay

Daymn! Sweet Peter is looking mighty fine as Cavalli's new poster boy.

Darkroom

Last night, all the town's people came out to Darkroom as it was Sophia Lamar's birthday. I was jazzed to see Gareth Pugh there...and no, that does not count as a name drop as I didn't meet or talk to him, but rather pointed and giggled with glee and awe of him and his genius. The usual suspects were there to take photos so you know where to look if you're really that interested. For now, enjoy the few snaps I took while getting my nightly dose of second hand smoke.









Hey kids, meet Raphael...



Raphael likes to take retarded pictures of me....



Raphael is my dear dear friend and he always captures my down's beautifully.

Franz

OK, I'll admit I'm not the biggest Franz Ferdinand fan. I mean I like them alright, I'm just not die hard like a lot of people are for them. They always make me think of being eighteen years old at Club Bang in Hollywood trying my best not to crack a smile lest the scene kids find me weak. That being said, I couldn't resist the chance seeing them play Bowery Ballroom next week. COME ON! Seeing a band that normally plays air fields playing at a venue this small is just too enticing. It sold out in less than a minute so I'm feeling extra proud.

New to Me

This was filmed a few months ago, but is it ever really too late to share some Beirut? Happy Tuesday!

Yeehaa

I definitely fell into my bed at 6 AM this Monday morning after several hours in the dark dungeon that is Home Sweet Home. It was the last Sunday for Young Lords before they switch to Saturdays and they let me have a go at being real pretend NYC DJ for a little bit. After a few thoughtful selections, I couldn't resist playing Heartbeats if only to truly feel for one sweet moment that I was a real pretend NYC DJ. Harrr.

Les Animaux

Animal Collective

It's getting really hot here in the city. I can't complain because anything is better than cold in my book. Summer has started...even though technically it hasn't, I can definitely feel Summer in the air.

Last night, Animal Collective played for free at South Street Seaport. It was threatening to rain on my parade all day but it never did. It was a beautiful night to enjoy three guys making sounds. While walking back uptown, Eric and I decided that it was necessary to have a strange sound contest. The true winner of that competition would likely be the people of Chinatown who were lucky enough to be awoken to the sweet sounds our vocal experimentation.




Animal Collective















Earlier in the day, I went to a photo shoot for Vice. They said that they were using my clothes, hair, and overall likeness for a Sim-like character that people can choose to explore a virtual L.E.S. scene with on their website. Ummm...yeah...I got fifty bucks, so I'm set. So I guess keep checking their website for a chance to virtually be me and virtually do things Vice thinks I do!

Bday

Last night was Brendon's official birthday celebration night. One of many over the past week. We ate tacos at Fat Baby followed by a normal debauched night on the L.E.S. I managed to get home at a reasonable hour and am really proud of myself for being up early because today is a long and full day. More to come... Oh and I got my hair did!
