discovery of the weekend: while perusing the awesome “rock shop” at the “who shot rock and roll” exhibit, i stumbled upon the digital harinezumi, essentially a digital lomography video camera that takes silent films and still shots, and fits in the palm of your hand.  definitely going on the wish list. check out sample videos here.

photographer todd selby has one of my favorite websites on the internet - theselby.com, where he photographs creative people and their environments.  these come from the tokyo home of fraser cooke, global energy marketing director of nike, and needless to say, i’d like to live in this apartment, or recreate it in my new york space.

there’s no such thing as rock stars, there’s just people who play music, and some of them are just like us, and some of them are dicks

“try this at home” by frank turner

couldn’t have said it better myself.  phenomenal album out now on epitaph.

spent last night in newark, nj at the prudential center to see metro station open for miley cyrus.  my job takes me to places i never thought i’d be, this was definitely one of those experiences, but i love a good arena pop show.  no matter how many times i walk through the innards of an arena, it’s still a rush to walk by boxes labeled “pyro” and see motorcycles that are going to be driven over an audience.
more photos from the show on my flickr.

cmj 2009 is over.
i’m recovering from a week of nonstop running around, seeing bands, and hanging out exclusively with people in the music industry.
lessons learned from cmj 2009:

floor toms played by singers are the new synthesizers.
organic energy drinks are the new redbull (i believe there was a mushroom extract energy drink in the green room before a panel i spoke on).
there will always be one person who attends a panel only to speak during the q&a portion, not to ask a question, but to speak to the other attendees as though he was on the panel, and say announce that they’re a “music business professional for the last 40 years” and follow that statement with a rant about how “the internet changed everything…”
bands have simply stopped trying when it comes to naming themselves. really, please look at the list of artists that played this past week.
the recession means that no one is getting good stuff in gift bags. also, gift bags are scarce.

the above is a photo of the hoodies playing the purevolume house. more cmj photos on my flickr.
