I think it’s kind of troubling that as soon as Steve Jobs lays in his deathbed, Apple IMMEDIATELY starts making things look like Windows.
Here’s how to erase this faux-leather bullshit from your Mac and your life.

Ahhh. Listen to this:
My friend Julian (from Lovesport) just sent me some of Milton Nascimento‘s stuff. Sun-drenched Tropicalia/Psych-Rock/Folk/etc. Reminds me of what I felt when I first heard Caetano Veloso’s 1969 debut, for obvious reasons.
Apparently this track comes from the 1972 double-album Clube da Esquina, but the rest of his music sounds amazing, too. So much going on around that time influenced by the Beatles that most North American audiences never got to hear.

Saw Parenthetical Girls at Glasslands last night, only found out about it the day of the show. Jesus. One of the best live sets I’ve ever seen – up there with Jamie Lidell, Radiohead, old Arcade Fire, etc. There’s something about being theatrical without being the slightest bit fake. Not acting like you would in a normal social setting, not trying to blend in with the audience, and keeping it anchored with sincerity and humility.
Anyway, Zac Pennington, PG’s singer/songwriter, came off the stage at a couple points in the set and made his way over to the bathroom at the back of the venue, all the while singing and dragging a giant mic cable behind him. They closed with “Stolen Children” from 2006′s Safe As Houses as Zac sang from inside the photo booth, climbed the stairs, banged a drumstick against Glasslands’ wooden interior, and eventually ended the song hanging from the balcony. He sounded studio-pristine and calm the whole time.
Video of that last part:
Such a badass. It was comforting to see that some people weren’t into it – a couple of sorority girls gave him an “ew” as he walked past them. So you’ll have that no matter what you do. Apparently they’re playing Saturday at Santos and Tuesday at Shea Stadium, and they’re selling their new EPs on limited-edition vinyl, hand-numbered in each band member’s blood. Love them.

- Mar 2010 - PresentMusic Teacher / The Lang SchoolI teach music and develop the music curriculum at The Lang School, a future-oriented private elementary school in Manhattan for twice-exceptional (2E) children. The 2E model describes individuals that are exceptionally intelligent, in addition to having a learning difference that might otherwise be considered a "disorder." We believe that these differences, such as ADHD and autism, can be seen simply as cognitive differences with their own advantages to be harnessed.
I use technology (laptops, SmartBoards and iPads) to inspire the children, and work primarily with current and popular music as my source material. - Mar 2010 - PresentIT Administrator / The Lang SchoolI help implement new technology and keep our existing Mac-based tech (laptops, mobile devices, printers and network) in working order. I also contribute to the future development of these systems.
- Feb 2009 - PresentSongwriting/Production Teacher / Brooklyn Music LessonsI teach songwriting, recording and production to students of all ages. Instruments include voice, guitar, keys, drums and beats.
