This is a new song, The Wrecking Crew, that I debuted at Grudge Match this past March 17th. Sorry I haven’t been around, recording mostly, doing shows here and there, trying to whittle away the Stupid and focus on the stuff that really matters.

Did you know you can download my album for free on my last.fm page? I always hear about people having last.fm pages but so far no real luck getting people to “friend” me and such. I guess it’s like flickr, do people really use it for anything other than looking at pictures and/or storing them? I guess it’s a bit much to expect the activity of listening to music on headphones while staring at a computer screen to have any social aspect.

Things are happening fast so we’re going to jump all over this shit. Catch us on our facebook fanpage to keep up with all the joneses! Feel alive baby! Do it!


COINCIDING WITH THE RELEASE OF THEIR FIRST ALBUM, this unpredictable, unforgettable, outrageously funny musical experience is both the band’s breakdown and breakthrough…. Part Lucille Ball on her 3rd bottle of 5 Hour Power, part Meatloaf, sexy with a side of silly… KILL THE BAND takes you on a cleverly comedic trip and performs original songs from various musical genres in this balls-to-the-wall, multi-media, performance art piece. Escape the normal, punch average in the face, burn your self help books on tape and catch the thrill that is KILL THE BAND!

new Joe Yoga album Life Out East coming Spring 2010!

I play in a band called Chink Floyd, “The world’s worst Pink Floyd cover band”. The band features yrs truly, Ariel Bitran, Mike Milazzo (absent from this particular gig), Killer Kelly Dwyer, and Touching You. The band is fronted, of course, by Master Lee. I work with Master Lee in a couple different improv/spoken word projects (The White Devils, The World’s Worst DOORS cover band, etc…) but this is probably my favorite. Here’s a snippet of what we do, from our Dec 19, 2009 gig at Sidewalk Cafe in the East Village.

comments, etc.? We have a myspace page here and you can friend us to keep up with shows, etc. Check us out, we are definitely a singular experience.

The one song I heard today that I liked enough to bring it up to the internet at large (another one of my “new” “year’s” “resolutions” being to both blog and hunt for new music more often) is by a band called Swimmingpool the Band and it’s called Pslam (Evening) so I guess that’s a music recommendation from me to you. I don’t like saying you SHOULD listen to them and I hate saying “You’ll love it!” even more, especially in a weird public space like the internet, because one, who the hell are you and how do I know you’ll like it, and two… well, ok. Maybe there IS just one reason.

One day I will find my Permanent Autonomous Zone, and it will be bigger than an elevator and you will be able to see me on the other side, working, with the heads of Republican senators on sticks, sharpened at both ends, natch.

Lyrics

I gotta send what I can’t receive home
I’d have it made were it not for these old

paper thin walls

We understand it could all be breached, though
You would not believe
What could pass through these old

paper thin walls

It’s been a long, hard year. A year of hopes, dreams, triumph, surprises, love, agony, music, theater, partying, new friends, old friends, loss, sleep (well, maybe not sleep)…

WELL FUCK IT. It’s that time of year folks…
