As you may or may not know/care, im in a band. Our name is Beer Girls. I play keyboard and random percussion stuff. These are extremely rough recordings we did in my living room while we were drunk, and we have no bassist as of right now, so that's why it might sound a little empty at times. Just figured I'd give you guys something to do on this slushy (if you're in the city) or snowy (if you're in the burbs) day. Oh, and even though it says Brooklyn in the profile, don’t pass it off as "hipster" shit, its pretty opposite. I'll see you when I see you, friends

Beer Girls

this is gonna be weird but...

epitaph for my heart. song writing at its best.

i don't know if anyone remembers it or cares, but i recently uploaded word to the wise onto my youtube account. it was a video i finished in 2006 that barely saw the light of day. i don't know if you'd call it laziness or anxiety, but i made about 10 copies on dvd. check it out.

full parts from bubba heckman, sean baker, jersey dave, and me.
plus a friends part with everyone from joe griff to willy akers to anthony villa.

enjoy

same as it ever was

road trip

This lovely lady and I are road tripping across the country for the next 2 weeks.

sorry for animal collective overdose, but the new album just leaked and i have nothing better to do at work right now. few people probably care or would get a chuckle out of this but whatevs. a few years ago they played on the conan o'brien show. them and conan in the same sentence is already pretty awkward, but then they chose to play #1. a song which is most definitely not ready for "pop culture". anyway, here's the video. i feel bad for anyone who was at this taping. they played great, but if you don't know the band you would be confused as fuck.



case in point, the guy trying to figure out the closed captioning while this noise is going on was pretty confused:


although the new album is definitely the easiest to listen to, i like that they remain weird and against the grain, but at the same are getting more normal (if that makes sense). someone give me something to do, i sound like im writing for pitchfork

go do something

it's nice outside

Went home for my birthday.

two summers ago i went with the fam to europe. a few days in rome, two and a half weeks in greece. ive had prints of these photos for a long time but never scanned them until yesterday, so i guess you can consider this "new shit". there's a lot more than these, so this is just a short summary of my trip.




while at dinner one day these french girls were singing in the streets of rome. not sure what the occasion was but their voices echoed down the alleys and streets. i grabbed my camera and ran accross the street and waited. i like it because its at the split second where this girl and i made eye contact.


off to greece. mom was psyched.


athens at night


that new Zorba single is the shit. oh shit wait, they got that new Syrtaki EP too. gotta pick that one up kit


greeks being greeks.


i have an odd amount of photos of random couples doing couple things from this trip.

off to limni, an island off of greece where my grandma (yia yia, in greek) is originally from. it was cool to see family members i never knew i had.
fishing and eating on the beach til the moon comes around the corner. i ate a sea urchin straight from the water this day.


my cousin francesco


more cousins. i mainly hung out with the girl in the tube the whole time. shes 5 and the only thing she knew how to say in english was 'cheese' and the only thing i really knew how to say in greek was 'podophles', which are sandals. somehow these were the only words exchanged through the whole time i was there and we were best buds


this might be my favorite photo i've ever taken (besides dan getting punched in the face by andrew). oddly enough, the dude could pass as a fatter version of me if i had a blonde girlfriend. prints of these photos will be in my upcoming photo show/t-shirt release party at division east thats gonna be sometime in late january i think.

also, thanks to steve marino for putting together the show last night. good turnout and a good time
