Do I Have OCD?

Taken from Wikipedia’s entry on Compulsive Hoarding: Digital hoarding: Digital hoarding involves collecting files on one’s computer beyond the point of usefulness. Often, files can be acquired through Internet piracy at no monetary cost, leading to extraordinarily large collections. Examples include music collections, often beyond what ones enjoys or can listen to, and television...

Ride My Disco Spaceship

Ahoy mateys, the Captain has arrived and invites you to embark on a voyage of disco in space. Below is a link to Max and I’s (bikes! DJs) Ride My Disco Spaceship mix. It is a collection of new and old disco, house, and vaguely electro tracks. This mix is one track, but if you ask me, I am happy to send you the mix split into individual tracks. http://www.mediafire.com/file/ojmry5mk5mg ...

I Met Amy Sedaris Yesterday!

Yesterday while working at Food & Friends at 20th and Spruce, Amy Sedaris and Christopher McDonald walked in to purchase some beer around 4:45pm. Christopher looked pretty regular, but Amy had on a sweet New Kids On The Block tee and Ray-Ban tortoise shell prescription eye glasses (very much like mine, i might add). Both tried to play it cool, until after about a minute of awkward staring at...

DJing @ Panda Bar Friday Night 6/26

Come hear Max and I dj our new and old faves all night long at Panda Bar (located at what was previously known as MarBar above Marathon Grill) at 40th and Walnut. The bar is described as having an American craft beer lineup and good food. So why not come drink good beer and dance all Friday night?

Art School

eqtworld: Would you not kill Hitler to stop the holocaust ? Weaver95: nope. I’d go back in time and make sure he got into art school. eqtworld: It would be easier to shoot him, those paintings suck Weaver95: if he got into art school, he would have gotten better. eqtworld: good point From: http://youactuallysaidthatonline.tumblr.com/

Off-Duty Officer Is Fatally Shot by Police in...

As terrible as the circumstances are, I was a bit happy to see this headline on the New York Times site. Not because I’m happy when a cop dies, but because this may force police to examine their firearm behaviors regarding “suspects.” Especially when that suspect is a minority male. The plainclothes black officer was shot by an on-duty white officer white the off-duty officer was...

Show & DJ Set this Saturday @ Pilam

So there will be a show this Saturday, May 30th at Pilam and in celebration of Joe’s 22nd birthday I will most likely be DJing after the bands have finished (assuming nothing goes wrong a la Human BBQ). I have a lot of new tracks I’m excited to drop on eager ears. It would be nice to do a show afterparty, so hopefully this doesn’t turn out to be a bust. May 30th @ Pilam: Tyvek...

Flyers Embarass Penguins with Shutout In...

Flyers win Game 5 against the Penguins 3-0. It was essentially a shutout, the only goal scorred was kicked in by Malkin and subsequently dissallowed. For those of you who don’t know hockey, it is illegal to kick the puck into the goal. This is not the first time a goal has been scored by Pittsburgh that wasn’t actually shot into the net off a stick. It really brings into question the...

Salt & Pepper Shakers by David Shrigley

Awesome Salt and Pepper Shakers from Polite Shop “These fine Shakers by David Shrigley have been traditionally made from bone china in Staffordshire, England. Supplied in hand finished box, made in England. Please note: We at Polite do not endorse the consumption of Salt, Pepper or otherwise stated contents..” Hilarious! Too bad they cost £70.00.

I Am 20.8 Years Old

According to RealAge (which Sara brought to my attention this morning) I am 20.8 years old. That makes me feel a little better about turning 23 in a few weeks. I have a suspicion though that how I answered the questions now doesn’t accurately reflect the damage I did to my body (read: liver) during college. Considering that, my body is probably 30-something.

Making Time: Simian Mobile Disco - April 24th @...

You should know these guys by now, so I won’t waste any time with an introduction. This is the making time I’ve been waiting for for over 3 months. Not only is it SMD, but it will be located at Pure Nightclub (possibly the best club for dancing in Philly). If you’re not yet convinced, let me gift you with a quote from the igetrvng.com email: “With Very Special Live...

GoBYO.com

Who doesn’t love getting trashed for cheaper and eating good food? I thought this was neat, you may have already heard of it. It is a webiste dedicated solely to urban byob restaurants. While you can search specifically for byob’s on other restaurant search engines, GoBYO.com seems to have a fuller database and even lists those not normally thought of as byob’s, but have a byo...

Songs I Made

Today I decided to post two songs I made last year during the summer after graduation. There is much I have learned about music production since I made these, so there are plenty of things I would have done differently if I were making these songs today. Perhaps I will go back and redo them. Matt F - Sunday Too (mediafire) Matt F - Pool Beats (mediafire)

Awesome Color @ Pilam

Awesome Color is playing at Pilam tonight. Should be a great show. Possibly one that will even upstage the Monotonix show last Friday? Awesome Color was signed by Thurston Moore (of Sonic Youth) to his label Ecstatic Peace. From my take on it, they sound a lot like Iggy Pop. The vocals at least are very similar. I’ve heard from others that they put on a very enaging live performace that...

Notes From the Underground - First Post

Today is the wet sloppy birth of Notes From the Underground. I aim to post about music, events, and interesting items. My focus is the music and cultural pieces that escape mainstream life. No, this is not HipsterRunoff. Yes, the name of this blog is a pun. So you can’t take it that seriously. Just like life.
