Rachel in My Truck

If you look real close you can see my reflection in her sunglasses.

The Weakerthans – My Favorite Chords
Frightened Rabbit – The Modern Leper

Carrie by Dolores Park

You ever lived in one of those voodoo cities? Where you might be washing up the dishes and the kitchen’s all “Hey!”

St. Vincent – Chloe in the Afternoon

Yacht – “Psychic City” (Classixx Remix)

“Hey, Julia!” at Fourbarrel

Fourbarrel is my favorite coffee place in the city. The coffee’s great, they play records and there’s good available light for pretty much the entire day.

David Bowie – Teenage Wildlife
Robert Palmer – Hey Julia

Melanie in Bed

It’s Melanie’s birthday today… I think she’s turning 23, but I’m not sure.

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings – Let Them Knock
Marvin Gaye – Let’s Get It On
Teddy Pendergrass – Turn Off The Lights

Ran in Berkeley

Here’s the runner-up… We’ve got lots.

This last weekend I did a photo shoot for my friend. Having to show up, on Saturday morning, in the East Bay, on the weekend they shut down the Bay Bridge, hung-over and in my clothes from the night before withstanding, I had a pretty good time.

Wiz Khalifa – The Thrill
Janet Jackson – Say You Do
Double Exposure – My Love is Free

Also, in case you’re interested in booking Ran for anything… (She’s a delight.)

Kristen Sitting on the Mattress

I’ve gotten more mileage out of this one day hanging out with Kristen than I have from any of my other friends.

Harry Nilsson – The Puppy Song
The Soft Boys – Insanely Jealous
Gayngs Last Prom On Earth

Rachel at Gestalt

The coolest person I know in real life had their picture taken here as part of – allegedly – a friends photo project.

The Weeknd – Loft Music

Stems

I had something for this earlier but I forgot.

The weather’s been a little touch and go today – sunny for a minute and then a downpour that floods the gutters outside my window the next. So I’ve been staying inside and catching up on my correspondence.

With St. Valentine’s Day (aka “Valentimes”) a mere six hours away I thought a themed musical selection might be appropriate. What the theme is I’ll leave for you to decide.

Hall & Oats – So Close

Taj Mahal – Six Days on the Road

Townes Van Zandt – Greensboro Woman

Mission Smoke

Good morning. It’s the start of a whole new week.

Kanye West – Good Morning

Street Walk

Not working leaves one a lot of time to think. Perpetually unemployed people find ways to make it work; many people just decide that their new career is writing and a few (really clever ones) decide that thinking IS their job and become philosophers.

I’m not quite there but I do have my head full lately.

Discovery – Orange shirt

Led Zeppelin – Fool in the Rain
