FRICTION
NYC
Props to Nghia for pulling an all-nighter over weekend to get the “new” site up and running, while retaining the old posts from Crackers United. We decided over the summer that we basically wanted to streamline everything to give the FRICTION shows their own webpage instead of just using MySpace. In addition, the site [...]

Here’s a track to get you hype for the weekend. Smooth enough to put on in the afternoon as you watch the second hand tick ever so slowly, but it also has enough disco kick that you can carry it over into your early and/or late night partying. Be [...]
We recently came across this sweet build your own flash animation site called Roxik. Ray and I went in and “built” our own Nghia aka Neal gettin’ down in his favorite Depeche Mode tee-shirt while hundred’s of other Neal clones cheer him on in the background.

If you’ve been along the Tribeca segment of Hudson River Park recently, you must have noticed the demolition of Piers 25 and 26. This is the third segment of seven that is under construction for the improvements to the park, spanning from Battery Park to 59th Street.
My daily commute to work from the West [...]

Every year it seems like some of the best albums come out in September and October. Some highlights of the late summer include Calla’s fourth full-length Collisions, Echo and the Bunnymen’s Siberia, and Sigur Ros‘ Takk. Collisions is Calla’s best work to date, the addition of a second guitar really made a difference [...]
As always, The Onion serves up a nice headline on everyone’s favorite fashion statement: the camel toe.
Despite my previous disparging comments about Austinist editor Ben Brown, I’ve now come full-circle to believe that’s Ben’s weekly recap of the Real World: Austin is just about some of the funniest reading currently available on the internet(s).
I stopped watching the show after the second episode, and now I soley rely on the caustic wit [...]
