FIRMAMENT

i was real happy with this. new poem!
another waste of time that i vomit into the sink with trembling hands clutching toothbrush! i’ve pretty much accepted the fact now that nothing is ever going to come out of anything artistic I do, so now I’m pretty much being an artist out of spite. the real [...]

Liz Becton is a raging lunatic, and an asshole too

Oh Internet, every time I don’t think you can get more funzy, you surprise me.

seriously though, read that fucking article. it’s hilarious, offensive, astonishing, and infuriating all at once. such complex emotions! But seriously, this woman that works for Jim McDermott got into an email flame war with someone that called her Liz. The person [...]

a scenario in which i vote republican

If i lived in Nevada, I wouldn’t even think twice about voting for a republican over Harry Reid. Without Harry Reid, the Democrats still have a majority in the Senate, but are forced to vote in a new Majority Leader.
With Reid’s Republican-lite ass out of the way, perhaps we could finally get real healthcare on [...]

Letterman, you are a fucking coward

They’re not going to pull you off the air. The Palins deserve to be mocked. When you drag around your idiot children and their illegitimate spawn around the globe for votes, you’re all public figures. Their whole lifestyle is a joke: eighteen year olds with kids preaching abstinence. You rightfully mocked them. Now, you bend [...]

  • about me

    Joe Yoga is an artist, facilitator, and incorrigible force of nature based in New York City. He is working these days mainly in black and white, guitar, cassette tape, hand claps, acrylic, and the burdens of rage, love, and exhaustion towards "a sort of land-where-blues-began attentiveness to the half-broken heartbeat of a sound" (Nick Courage, A Mutual Respect Books and Music).

    As a musician he appears at venues all over NYC and his first album "The Dreamless Sea" is available for free download at www.goyogago.com, His new album "Life Out East" will be available in Spring 2010.

    As a stage performer he was recently featured in Kill the Band (Audience Choice Award Winner, 2010 Frigid Festival) and Ramblings of a Gentleman Scumbag (Imperial Award / Donor's Choice, 2010 Frigid Festival). He is also half of the house band at Penny's Open Mic, a massively popular Tuesday mic in the East Village (www.pennysopenmic.com), and produces a monthly show "Grudge Match: Music vs. Comedy" on the 3rd Wednesday of every month, featuring the best up and coming musicians and comedians in the city.
