grains of the golden sand

Hey, folks.
Here is a video of me telling a story about auditioning for a feature film and doing a dramatic reading of a poem that I had to learn for one of the two scenes I was supposed to learn.

The movie is called the Crab, it’s a great script and I was psyched to get [...]

Amuze – the underground NYC zine

Not sure how you could not know this at this point, but I am the editor of Amuze, a monthly publication dedicated “to trying to describe, through words, images, scotch tape, borrowed photocopiers, and the transcribed dreams, hopes, visions, and breakthroughs of its contributors, the underground arts scene of early Post-Millennial New York City.”
I think [...]

something new every day.

I guess you DO learn something new every day. Here’s one at random for you. You know that famous “hanging munchkin” scene in Wizard of Oz that takes place right after they meet the Cowardly Lion?

for new york

a poem I wrote, back then:
FOR NEW YORK
you can’t see them
you’ll never remember
what they looked like the last time
you saw them
because you can never look
at something as if it were the last time
because you never really believe
there will be one
you don’t fear death anymore.
in a strange way you know
you’re safer
because the world has moved.
you are [...]

  • 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.
