A Word On Osama

And very quickly, on the death of Osama. Really? How much money did we spend to waste this bro? Did anyone else pick up on the part where we lost a helicopter in the mission? To mechanical failure. What the Fuck America? This was like the biggest Call Of Duty/Rainbow 6 mission America has ever done in real life, and we lose a fucking helicopter to mechanical failure? No one thought maybe we should give this helicopter a once over, make sure everything works? We went in to kill a dude that the White House has had a collective wet dream about killing for 10 years. And we didn't check up on our helicopter.

And did we really need to celebrate so hard? I mean it doesn't really matter. Before they killed that bro, when was the last time you ever thought about him? He's been off the grid for so fucking long, occasionally dropping sound clips, but otherwise just diddling cave goats or something. Shit please, like you've been waiting in vain for some emaciated bearded bitch who is now just an image to die. Yeah, he was an evil motherfucker, but we don't just kill evil motherfuckers willy-nilly. This isn't all Texas.

Look, I get vindication for 9/11. Fine. But, Let's not be ridiculous. We were out in the street celebrating that we killed someone.

Bozmo Single

Local band Bozmo has just released their single "Golden Feeling"/ "Milksnakes" in anticipation of their full-length album Hosanna In The Highest.

Is the album title a little sacrilegious? Yeah, but what can you do.

A side "Golden Feeling" is a gloriously messy low-fi pop gem. The lead guitar lick reminds you of your favorite summer days. It shines out, beautifully piercing, over a crunchy rhythm section. Lead-singer Bo Moore shows whips up his falsetto in a frenzied pop melody during the choruses.

B side "Milksnakes" is an energetic garage-punk romp, blasting a great sleazy lead lick over a fuzzy rhythm section again. The lead drops leaving just the rhythm and Bo starting the song off with the line "All of the crust punks have credit cards." Which kills me.

I feel like we have an awesome summer album on the way. Oh, and it's produced by Jeremy Mendicino, of another terrific Boston band: Pretty and Nice.

You can get both of these songs on their bandcamp.

He knew what he wanted. He didn't want to learn how to sail. He didn't want be on a boat far away from shore, far away from his mom, far away from his sister. Sorry little buddy, your ma made me teach you how to sail.

Needham And Visiting Nona

On a rainy day in Needham, MA, my brother, Dad, and I visited my Dad's mom. To my brothers and me, she is Nona. To everyone else she is Filomena.

This is Filomena

On The Road

Somewhere between Boston & New York. I've spent 27 hours on busses this week.

Heidelberg Project- Detroit, MI

The Heidelberg Project is an outdoor art installation started in 1986 by Tyree Guyton and his grandfather Sam Mackey. It is in part a protest of the deterioration of Detroit. Seeing it is extremely eerie, causing you to be quiet for no real reason. The street is surrounded by actual residents which makes another odd juxtaposition- people living in real decay around this fantastical protest against Detroit's decay.
