The Devil Went Down to Muxville
April 19th, 2008
For a few days each spring and fall, while the increasingly volatile meteorological pendulum swings from frozen sewer to sweltering garbage heap, New York City enjoys perfect weather. September 11, 2001 was such a day, and so is today — 60 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, and an unheard-of ratio of smiles to thrown elbows at the corner of Broadway & Steinway.
So why I am I still inside, blogging? To share a few linkworthy items, along with my ever-evolving muxtape and another lousy short film: whiplash and Mozart, together at last. If you’d like to join us for the season’s first open-air Jever, drop by the Astoria Beergarden later. I’ll be the guy pointing a camera at you.
Also of note:
- I heart Foggy.
- Jammys Lineup: Page will be there to accept Phish’s lifetime achievement award, but can Trey get out of rehab long enough for a reunion? At the official site, you can vote on the awards.
- Sturges Rules: “A chase is better than a chat.”
- Twitter to the Rescue
- Barackula! The most excited I’ve gotten about the elections yet.
- J.K. Rowling tries to make a book disappear. More.
Gentian Violet!
