Ugh!
from the mundane to the mundane and back again
Whether fighting oil well fires in Texas as leader of the John Wayne Brigade or chefing up his famous “Grouse ala mode” for the extremely wealthy patrons of his Park Avenue restaurant L’entrail, this 48 year old daredevil and bon vivant leads a life of exciting excitement. A one man Algonquin table, his ribald tales of noble savagery will stick in your psyche like some peanut butter for your mind. Excelsior!

- I LIKE RECORDS 59 - February 2, 2012There’s a guy who comes in a lot, he’s nice enough, a bit off, likes jazz. He asks for a lot of stuff but frequently has the name wrong. Guy: Last week, I put aside a Dave Burbank CD and I can’t find it now. Me: Do you mean Dave Brubeck? Guy mmmmmm I don’t […]feedtim

- I Hate Me, Part 276,030 - January 29, 2012It was late morning, I had to run to Foodtown and I had to make it quick. I needed to pick up a salad for my lunch, a twelve pack of diet root-beer, paper towels and some other bullshit that I now forget. I then had to drop the good car off with Carrie and […]feedtim
- Sunday Music 1/29/12 - January 28, 2012BLACK BUG-Make Her I haven’t done this Sunday music thing in a long time and I thought I’d start up with it again. Black Bug is/were (I don’t know if they exist anymore) an amazing noisy garage/synth/punk thing from Sweden. Everything thing is Shrill,pointy and the levels live in the red but it’s really catchy.

- Graphis Annual ’61/62. Pt.1 - January 26, 2012This is from an international advertising and packaging annual. These books used to be pretty cheap but now even the beat up ones are kind of pricey. Man, I could look at this stuff all day. [click on image to enlarge]   […]feedtim
- I Hate Me, Part 105,002 - January 24, 2012I’ve been eating a lot of apples lately and my favorite seems to be “Jazz” apples. I know, it’s a horrible, horrible name for an apple. It doesn’t bring to mind Coltrane or Miles Davis eating an apple, it makes me think of “jazz hands” and Kenny G but it’s a really good apple. I […]feedtim
- My Yearbook Picture - January 23, 2012I was pretty much a fuck-up when I was in high school (Raritan high school, Hazlet NJ, class of 1980). Not in the cool “rebel without a cause” kind of way, more of a “I hate everything but am too lazy to rebel, so I’ll just get fucked up” kind of way. My senior high […]feedtim
- ’45 Sleeves - January 19, 2012I found some more ’45 sleeves that I thought were pretty cool looking. I think they are from late ’60s through early ’70s. (click on image to enlarge) […]feedtim
- 28 Chicken Street (odd childhood 3) - January 17, 2012My aunt sends my brother and I a box of pears every year for Christmas. I’m not really a pear guy. They have an odd texture and they taste weird. Actually they taste and feel like pears which is fine but I always look at them as weird apples and am disappointed when they don’t […]feedtim
