When the world was a better place.

Christmas time at Disneyland....


The Haunted Mansion (taken over by the Nightmare Before Christmas)



When you live in Southern California, i feel like there is no good excuse not to go to Disneyland at least once every year or so.



We got year long passes for only a fraction more than a day pass cost.



And even though it is geared more for the lillte ones...shit can get pretty creepy when the sun goes down...



Pretty though too...



Merry Christmas y'all.

The Last of The Famous International Playboys.

Here are the last of the shots from Europe, i have been home for a while now... and it has been wonderful, relaxed and cozy.

Paris


Paris

This stop in Paris was great, we had a few days there...and i didn't get arrested!



Did alot of walking, some sightseeing, and a fair amount of kickin it.





Goodbye hippies, Ill see you soon.

I don't wanna feel dead inside.

I Recently returned from Europe where i spent the better part of November. Justin couldn't come out on this one as he is in the studio recording some British band, so i took Kyle out with us instead.


Veggie cafe in Istanbul

It was great to have Kyle around, we used to live together in Boston...both at the Allston House and at Red 11 in Jamaica Plain. Good times. We both left Boston around the same time, Kyle went to the East Bay, and i began to tour...


Istanbul

We see each other often whenever we are in the same town, (Kyle now lives in my old loft in Greenpoint) but sometimes one or two nights isn't enough...plus it was nice to have another Gentleman on board concerned with finding every mod shop and Gentlemen's store in Europe.



Thanks Noogies, Good Hang!

Sunglasses are a must.

Here are some highlights from the Fools Gold Tour...


Kid Sister


Kid Sister

Shit was a whirlwind of fun lil to no sleep and lots of dancing and bad hipster haircuts.


DJ Mehdi

Kids go crazy for this shit man...everyone was dancing, there were folks stage diving and crowdsurfing, and to be damn honest it was way more out of control than any punk or hardcore show i have been to in a long while.


Los Angeles


Los Angeles

Rave is Back kids...



I would like to thank A-Trak, Kid Sister, Dj Mehdi, Fafi, Kavinsky and Nick Catchdubs for a wonderful week!


A-Trak & Mehdi

Oh, and big ups to the wicked drunk girl who gave the promoter a lappie, chugged half our bottle of vodka, and proceeded to puke all over our backstage in Vancouver....real classy, but thats what happens when Vinco brings underage girls from Myspace to the show.



God Bless.

Must i paint you a picture about the way that i feel.

Yesterday i was in New York for the first day of the Fools Gold Tour, this also coinsided with the first real day of CMJ. I haven't been to CMJ for a few years now, and i really wasn't to interested in seeing any of the shows...until i heard a secret....

BILLY BRAGG!!!!


Yes, Billy Bragg played a secret show at Arlenes Grocery to maybe a hundred people, myself , Brendan and Jeremiah included...we spent his whole set comparing goose bumps...it was an incredibly intimate, chilling time.

After the show we ran jumping through the streets high on the workers revolution and love songs....We ran fast and hard....straight to the tattoo shop and Jeremiah and i got these.



New York I love you...see you again soon.

Fools Gold Tour.

I just wrapped up two months on the road with Devendra Banhart...and while i do love my hippies what better way to switch it up than going out for a week on the fools gold tour with A-Trak, Kid Sister, DJ Mehdi, Kavinsky, and Nick Catchdubs.



Here are some videos from the Parisian half of the tour...
