Now it is true that just asking is not enough.  An ex-fuckbuddy of mine tried the "take their word for it" method of safer sex and he is now spending the money he used to spend on tuition on anti-retrovirals.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow, a couple weeks back I was supposed to hook up with this new guy.  I went to meet him and he ditched me.  I am pretty sure that he found another guy just minutes after he told me to come over and didn't have the courage to just tell me, so he went sneaking around to avoid me and hook up with him.  Now this is bad form and cowardly (although I will admit the other guy was hotter -- I saw him in the vestibule -- but that is not the point).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow a couple nights later I saw another one of his postings and I was tempted to cause him to lose an hour of his life traveling to and from some location near by just to exact my revenge.  This time he was looking to "party" and get fucked raw.  Here is how the exchange went.  I posed as a guy with a good drug dealer willing to get him high and bareback him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;FakeDudeJosh@Yahoo.com:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;whatsup? still hosting?&lt;br /&gt;got a face pic?&lt;br /&gt;u neg?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;hotbbbottom@gmail.com:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yeah when are u free?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4466/2472/1600/43837/sammut.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4466/2472/400/147994/sammut.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4466/2472/1600/933379/sammutbod.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4466/2472/400/789758/sammutbod.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;FakeDudeJosh@Yahoo.com:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ah, poz here u neg? into that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;hotbbbottom@gmail.com:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im not sure   i dont care if youre poz  when are u free  where at?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;FakeDudeJosh@Yahoo.com:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;bushwick, u host or travel? live alone? got FG?

We arrived at the venue at about 9pm just in time to catch one of the opening acts, "Starling Electric".  My friend sees many shows at the Bowery Ballroom and she tells me that the second of two opening acts MUST be next because it is so early.  I disagree, but I am not so sure until I see a stack of clean white hand towels and pint bottles of Poland Spring waters.  "Oh, everyone gets that", she says.  "Wait until the bottle of whiskey comes out," I respond.  The joke gets a couple chuckles from another friend who was a Pollard virgin until the last show in the Spring.  Seconds later a bus-tub full of Miller Lite and a full 750ML bottle of Ceurvo are set next to the drum kit.  "Ha! I was wright -- except it was tequila and not whiskey!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Officially the show was not sold out, but the true fans were right out front.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pollard: "We only come to New York 3 or 4 times a year!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A cute, scruffy fan (the only person drunker than Pollard before the first song began) starts dancing frantically.  While the entire crowd wasn't as enthusiastic as those up front, he was not alone.  He was grabbed for the first time by the bouncer but came back just a few songs later.  Several guys then surrounded him catching him and tossing him back into the center each time he got out of control.  He staged dived twice, and the second time he was "removed" for several  more songs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pollard was playing songs from Normal Happiness and From a Compound Eye mostly, unlike the other Pollard tours where he played PLENTY of GBV.  Generally the crowd was OK with it.  They were true fans and not hung up on details like GBV v. BP.  Just once did I hear someone yell out for GBV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second time dude took off from the stage I was there to keep him from getting stomped after the initial crash from the stage.  By this time i was loving him, not just because he was drunk and cute and reckless, but because he cared more than anyone.  Just before the end of the regular set he went up for the last time.  The boys took him away. I followed.  "He is with me!, I'll take charge. Let him back in."  "Step inside or you will be tossed as well!"  I wend around one last time but got the same answer.  Pollard was about to go back on. The cute scruffy boy was tossed.  There was nothing to be done. Except. . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pollard: "When you motor away. . . "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The crowd it responded with unbridled enthusiasm when Pollard started kicking out the GBV for the encore.  The driving eighth note guitar riff that began the song was electric.  Pollard offered his Tequila one last time to the audience.  I reached up and grabbed it and took a huge swig.  At that moment, as if possessed I hoisted myself up on the stage and took a dive.  I don't remember jumping or how I did it or how long I stayed up, but seconds later I was back on my feet astonished at the things I'll do on brownliquor.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pollard: "The Goldheard mountain top, Queen directory!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Met the cute mosh boy again on the Z train back to Brooklyn.  He had sobered up a bit and was ready to talk.  I filled him in on the encore, but he knew as he was listening right outside.  Uncle Bob sounded great.  The band did too.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23879185-116360360626152468?l=brooklynserpico.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/feeds/116360360626152468/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23879185&amp;postID=116360360626152468' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/116360360626152468'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/116360360626152468'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/2006/11/pied-piper-of-indie-rock-drunks.html' title='The Pied Piper of Indie Rock Drunks!'/><author><name>BrooklynSerpico</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01034145295966267089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23879185.post-116102683848576576</id><published>2006-10-16T12:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-16T12:27:18.646-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Studs 'N Spurs</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/1600/criscross.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/400/criscross.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So was out in the suburbs this past weekend and I decided to test the limits of inappropriate behavior ala Mark Foley.  These boys agreed to pose for some pictures and I was able to get one to take his shirt off before I gave them sexually suggestive material and asked them to comment on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, that would be really creepy if it were true, but remember this is a fiction blog.  I am pretty sure it was taken by some girl on the cross-country team at whatever-high, but I still am totally curious about the context.  They seem to be quite taken by this "hunk" calendar.  I am wondering how long it took before someone to got called a fag.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23879185-116102683848576576?l=brooklynserpico.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/feeds/116102683848576576/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23879185&amp;postID=116102683848576576' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/116102683848576576'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/116102683848576576'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/2006/10/studs-n-spurs.html' title='Studs &apos;N Spurs'/><author><name>BrooklynSerpico</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01034145295966267089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23879185.post-115811781801345101</id><published>2006-09-12T20:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-09-12T20:24:07.403-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sorry</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/1600/takeitback.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/400/takeitback.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I take it all back.

He &lt;i&gt;never&lt;/i&gt; calls late.  He &lt;i&gt; never, &lt;/i&gt; in fact, actually calls either.  I usually get an instant message or a txt and he always (historically) comes during daylight. This schedule isn't really strange as he works in some downtown bar.  The kind of bar that has a permanently sticky floor, low drop ceilings and no glasses  (Everyone gets plastic no exception!).  He likes it that way 'cause he has to clean up and at the end of the night he gets lazy and tosses the ice and leftover liquid towards the edges of the concrete floor where it can easily drain away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow when I fuck him he is usually in this brain-dead, hung-over, spaced-out state that makes the violence of the sex almost imperceptible to him (Of course that is my impression based on his affect).  Generally, if I am not rough enough with him I hear about it later and he punishes me by withholding sex for a longer period of time -- several weeks or a month instead of every week or two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, the other night he comes over at night -- strange.  And he is clearly a little messed up as he is slurring his words and has that clumsy sway as he walks.  For some reason I decided to kiss him shortly after we got naked.  I've kissed him before, but only in the context of humiliating him (don't ask me why he feels that way about it).  The kiss obviously pisses him off 'cause he becomes violent with me.  Swinging, slapping and basically trying to squirm away.  As I try to subdue him he (I think accidentally) head butts me.  I instantly and instinctively punch him in the mouth.  Surprised but not stunned he holds his mouth and rolls over for me passively.  I continue about my business as he claws into the arm I have locked around my neck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say when I am done I am slightly concerned that I had gone too far as we had clearly decided that while most things go, bruises above the neck were clearly verboten.  He seems pretty pissed and retreats to the bathroom with his clothes.  He emerges quickly and heads right for the door without our usual perfunctory parting handshake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well talk about mixed messages?  He contacted me the next day online and was particularly turned on by the entire encounter as he passed out later that night jerking off for the third time thinking about it!  Well maybe I am getting old, but I just wanted to kiss him.  Obviously he isn't cool with that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23879185-115629851498083085?l=brooklynserpico.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/feeds/115629851498083085/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23879185&amp;postID=115629851498083085' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/115629851498083085'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/115629851498083085'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/2006/08/mixed-messages.html' title='Mixed Messages'/><author><name>BrooklynSerpico</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01034145295966267089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23879185.post-115626031627000715</id><published>2006-08-22T08:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-22T08:30:29.006-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Funny.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/1600/al%20roker.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/320/al%20roker.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wouldn't this be funny?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wouldn't it be funny if there were some sort of global disaster like a nuclear war or a giant meteorite hitting the Earth?

An excerpt:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When I was a kid, I’d listen to the same records over and over and over again, as if I was under a spell. The record would end and I’d flip it over again, doing absolutely nothing, letting the music wash over me. My favorite record albums become like a totem for me, their big fat beautiful gatefolds worked as a shield against the loud, crashing, crushing world. I would have laid down my life and died in defense of a record like Tonight’s the Night or Astral Weeks. I felt that those records had, in some ways, saved my life. These days, with all the choice in the world, it’s hard for me find the attention span for a single album. I put my iPod on shuffle and skip impatiently to the next song before each one’s over. I don’t even know what I’m looking for."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23879185-115228601804627902?l=brooklynserpico.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/feeds/115228601804627902/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23879185&amp;postID=115228601804627902' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/115228601804627902'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/115228601804627902'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/2006/07/after-this-ill-shut-up.html' title='After This I&apos;ll Shut up...'/><author><name>BrooklynSerpico</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01034145295966267089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23879185.post-115107802073007415</id><published>2006-06-23T08:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-23T08:53:40.746-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Stella</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/1600/stellaweb2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/320/stellaweb2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This is Stella.  As you may have guessed Stella is a dog.  To understand Stella, I should start with the seemingly banal fact that she is a &lt;i&gt;huge&lt;/i&gt; Yankees fan.  If there is a game on and I go to visit her, she’ll be listening.   What might this say about her personality?  Well the thing about Stella is that she only respects power and not just power as potential power, but raw power expressed.  She sees winning and control as tantamount to life and death.  We quibble over the $200+ million dollar payroll and the fairness of such inequities and she simply scoffs.  “Of course” she says “if you have $200 million to spend to win you do it.  If you don’t have $200 million you lose, sorry.”  Well that’s just Stella I guess. I once saw her latch on to the face of a dog 3 times her size because he just &lt;i&gt;considered&lt;/i&gt; eating her food.  It took three grown men to separate them.  I fear she would be a Republican if she cared about politics.  Oh, also Stella is dominant heterosexual pedophile.  If I take her to the dog park she is always trying to mount boy puppies.  She humps away as if she had the equipment to do so.  In this respect I can kinda understand her.  I mean if I were a dog I might do the same thing.  Just look at those puppy dog eyes.  They are just asking for it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah, I hate the Yankees only slightly less than the Dallas Cowboys.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23879185-115107802073007415?l=brooklynserpico.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/feeds/115107802073007415/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23879185&amp;postID=115107802073007415' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/115107802073007415'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/115107802073007415'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/2006/06/stella.html' title='Stella'/><author><name>BrooklynSerpico</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01034145295966267089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23879185.post-115039448896750349</id><published>2006-06-15T10:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-15T11:05:11.616-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I am still younger than Jared Leto</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/1600/jared_leto.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/320/jared_leto.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my birthday is at the end of this month.  Thinking about it has made me a little down lately.  When I feel this way I often play this little game I call, "at least &lt;i&gt;he&lt;/i&gt; is older than me!" Anyhow, as I pretended to do work yesterday I came across a really lame video by &lt;u&gt;30 Seconds to Mars&lt;/U&gt; on the VH1 website (google it motherfucker, I am too old and cranky go give you the link).  Anyhow, as I considered how much it sucked I thought, hmm, he can't be older than me -- I mean he played a &lt;a href="http://www.mscl.com/"&gt;highschool kid&lt;/a&gt; when I was like in grad school. So anyhow I feel better about being a year older now because I am much younger than Jared Leto.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23879185-115039448896750349?l=brooklynserpico.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/feeds/115039448896750349/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23879185&amp;postID=115039448896750349' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/115039448896750349'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/115039448896750349'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/2006/06/i-am-still-younger-than-jared-leto.html' title='I am still younger than Jared Leto'/><author><name>BrooklynSerpico</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01034145295966267089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23879185.post-115031276421486648</id><published>2006-06-14T11:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-08T09:37:51.093-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Okkervil River</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.jound.com/okkervil/graphics/for_real_video.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://www.jound.com/okkervil/graphics/for_real_video.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;(I took out the embedded video not because people complained, but because the host has been having problems lately.  &lt;a href="http://www.jound.com/okkervil/video/videos.html"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt; is the link to all the good videos posted.

I was pretty sure at the time there was a need for a "hookup" site where people could meet people for some NSA spooning.  Well, I made a few mistakes.  First, we launched during the hottest month of a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;very &lt;/span&gt;hot Summer --  July.  Our preliminary surveys had all been done in February and we failed to account for these "environmental" factors.  Second, we did a little to much advertising on hard-core sex sites, so many of the members were, to say the least, a little too aroused to maintain the ethos of SnuggleBuddy, i.e. no sex.  We got numerous complaints from our "inside" spooners that the "outside" spooners were trying to  um. . . rearrange the utensil drawer in the middle of the night.  Finally there was that whole 9/11 thing and the venture capitalists turned a little skittish.  To this day they still talk about the $2.3  million like it is a lot of money!  PLEASE! Launch party?  Hall and Oates don't come free.! (Well Oates sometimes does, but there was agreement among the product managers that duality of Hall &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;and &lt;/span&gt;Oates was needed to really drive home the SnuggleBuddy.com story).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow, for those of you who remember Perry and Jason from the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Good Morning America! &lt;/span&gt;segment on SnuggleBuddy.com there is news!  They are headed up to Vancouver over Labor Day Weekend with their friends and family to get married!  To me it was just like yesterday when Perry --&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Outsider/vers spooner seeks insider/vers under 5'10".  Must prefer to sleep on their right side (80% of the time?).  Sorry, no pets, no real down/feather bedding.  Can host or travel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;met Jason--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;TOTAL 100% Insider seeks taller 100% Outsider!  Lets sleep in!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Word from Perry is that he still has yet to get on the inside of the spoon.  Word from Jason is that their SnuggleBuddy profiles are like a pre-nuptual agreement!  But they are still in love and to me $2.3 million is a small price to pay!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23879185-114996058845089176?l=brooklynserpico.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/feeds/114996058845089176/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23879185&amp;postID=114996058845089176' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/114996058845089176'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/114996058845089176'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/2006/06/snuggle-buddy-dot-com.html' title='Snuggle Buddy dot Com'/><author><name>BrooklynSerpico</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01034145295966267089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23879185.post-114987496606198775</id><published>2006-06-09T10:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-09T10:42:46.073-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Unscientific survey</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/1600/pink.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px;

I don't know if it actually makes me more attractive (empirical evidence would say no), but I think I look cooler and  tougher.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23879185-114987010061904915?l=brooklynserpico.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/feeds/114987010061904915/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23879185&amp;postID=114987010061904915' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/114987010061904915'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/114987010061904915'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/2006/06/playoff-beard.html' title='Playoff Beard'/><author><name>BrooklynSerpico</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01034145295966267089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23879185.post-114961122655079635</id><published>2006-06-06T09:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-06T09:27:06.566-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Welcome to Williamsburg!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/1600/Williamsburg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/320/Williamsburg.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PLEASE DON'T FEED THE LOCALS!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23879185-114961122655079635?l=brooklynserpico.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/feeds/114961122655079635/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23879185&amp;postID=114961122655079635' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/114961122655079635'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/114961122655079635'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/2006/06/welcome-to-williamsburg.html' title='Welcome to Williamsburg!'/><author><name>BrooklynSerpico</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01034145295966267089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23879185.post-114936193330701168</id><published>2006-06-03T10:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-03T12:12:13.333-07:00</updated><title type='text'>my good deed of the day: Craigslist Sucks!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;cute fem chubby guy is giving great oral today no oral recip - 39&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reply to: anon-XXXXXXXXXX@craigslist.org&lt;br /&gt;Date: 2006-06-03, 12:37PM EDT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 feet 11 inches tall 285 pound smooth cuite fem chub bottom oral guy is giving great oral service today NSA no oral recip needed just nipple play open to all men i am hosting today in greenpoint available in the afternoon extremelye discreet clean safe e-mail me your stats and lets meet &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;RE: CUTE CHUBBY - 39&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reply to: anon-XXXXXXXXXX@craigslist.org&lt;br /&gt;Date: 2006-06-03, 1:04PM EDT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHO YOU KIDDING?

He works for the city.  He is a bureaucrat in the office of procurement or some shit like that.  Anyhow, as you can see from his instant messanger name he lives in Bensonhurst in a rather large apartment.  Everything in his apartment is as cheesy as possible while still only being either white or black in colour (read porcelain dog sculpture).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tony loves cocaine and hustlers.  I met him in 1998 or 99 when guys still used AOL to hookup.  I used think he sleaziness was kinda cool.  He is kinda hot except that he is a jerk and has an almost incomprehensible Brooklyn accent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow, I haven't hung out with him for like 3 or 4 years, but he still messages me from time to time to ask me about all the hot boys I fuck.  Sometimes I tell him the truth and sometimes I make shit up (depending on how I am doing).  The other day Tony messages me to see if I'll join him when he buys this kid from Minnesota.  Here is their conversation: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;BensonhurstDude:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; hey, I like your pics.

This 19 year old kid really does do it.  The pic up there isn't the one from Tony.  I decided to just use the pic of a pornstar instead, but "BoiBabyBlue" is actually cuter than that kid.  I figured I would blog about it to ensure that I won't do it.  Plus I don't do coke anymore.  Although I do have the kid's email and evidently he will be here soon!  Comment if you want me to pass it on to you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23879185-114884277475172320?l=brooklynserpico.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/feeds/114884277475172320/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23879185&amp;postID=114884277475172320' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/114884277475172320'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/114884277475172320'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/2006/05/tony-likes-to-bareback-teen-rentboys.html' title='Tony likes to bareback teen rentboys!'/><author><name>BrooklynSerpico</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01034145295966267089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23879185.post-114866659700738292</id><published>2006-05-26T10:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-26T11:04:15.706-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Jesse . . .</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/1600/50876994_3421ba983e_m.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

is the first of his list of 10 posts, 2-9 should be there on the right).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;The first film to come to mind to me was &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:courier new;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090197/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tras el cristal&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by the Spanish director Agustí Villaronga (released in English under the name&lt;i&gt; In a Glass Cage&lt;/i&gt;).  I saw it for the first time in college.  I was around 19.  It left an indelible mark.  To get an idea of the kind of things that happen in the film you can read &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;a nice concise summary of what goes on in this Australian Government Document in which the film was &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: courier new;" href="http://www.oflc.gov.au/resource.html?resource=391&amp;filename=391.pdf"&gt;refused classification&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;I  only rented the film once  in the early 90s.  For me, reading the  memo  brings  the most traumatic major scenes back.  I might actually consider the Australian Government's position to be the right one.  While the work has a right to exist as  there is no explicit call to violence,  the act of having child actors (presumably as  young as 8?)  enact the scenes is a little fucked up and unethical.  I am reminded of Gregg Araki's discussion of the diligence needed to direct child actors in sexual situations in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: courier new;" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0370986/"&gt;Mysterious Skin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;.   He mentioned the need for the children to be filmed separately and for them to actually not have a clear understanding of what the scene is about.   The nature of the scenes in Araki's film, based on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: courier new;" href="http://heim.etherweave.com/"&gt;Scott Heim's&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt; most excellent book, hardly compare in their brutality of what is depicted in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:courier new;" &gt;Tras el Cristal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;Strangely,  I don't think I would see it again and so I don't recall if it is possible that the scenes could be ethically shot in the way that &lt;i&gt;Mysterious Skin&lt;/i&gt; was.  This is not a blanket endorsement of Araki's approach, but the standard he set in the director's commentary was a decent one.  I would be interested to know how and when the child actor might understand the full context of the film (either film I suppose).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;The most redeeming part of the story, on an extreme scale, is that it shows how the injuries suffered by the victim of sexual sadism can and usually are repeated by the victim. In an ironic and bold manner, the teen victim turned victimizer turns on his abuser who is completely flaccid both literally and figuratively.  A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: courier new;" href="http://www.plume-noire.com/movies/cult/inaglasscage.html"&gt; positive review&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt; here describes fairly well the action and motives of the film and comes to the partly to same conclusion.  "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;In A Glass Cage&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt; shows the transmission of evil, from the torturer to the victim, as an irremediable rite of passage close to vampirism."   I consider Angelo's "transmission of evil" from victim to torturer far more important than Klaus' arc in the opposite direction if the film is to have any artistic value.  (Also mentioned in the review was Bryan Singer's Apt Pupil.  Interestingly it also suffered from a great deal of controversy due to the treatment of minor actors).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;As for the trauma, I would start with the fact that the one of the main characters, Angelo the late teen "nurse", was extremely sexy, perhaps an older Tadzio from the Mann story &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: courier new;" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067445/"&gt;Death in Venice&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;(When I read it, I chose to ignore the part where Tadzio is Polish).  He was brilliantly stoic.   Strangely, the actor &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: courier new;" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0839955/"&gt;David Sust&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;, who played Angelo, seems to have no searchable images on the web.   (The best acting came from &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004650/"&gt;Marisa Paredes&lt;/a&gt;, an extremely prolific actress who I enjoy tremendously, especially in her collaborations with  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: courier new;" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000264/"&gt;Pedro Almodóvar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;A couple years later, I noticed a lover of mine named Andreas had a striking physical resemblance to Sust.  It was during sex with him that I noticed the trauma for the first time.   It was the seductive beauty of Sust in this brutal role that created the close link to between the sex and the violence that made the greatest impression.  That, it would turn out, would be the most memorable trauma I remember suffering due to a piece of "art".    It was actually kind of disconcerting to me that the scenes and images from the film would come back to me during sex with Andreas.  This was mostly because I was still infatuated with this kid.  He was a recent high school graduate in Pittsburgh whose parents had emigrated from Greece.  He was also a very sweet and physically generous person.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;In retrospect I am happy to report now that my most striking memory of Andreas was his divinely potent smell that only an 18 year old Mediterranean boy could have.  Very distinct.  Like the way extra virgin olive oil smells different from corn oil.  Luckily that was the only way "virgin" could be used to describe him.  Damn, the memories.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/1600/andreas.php.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/320/andreas.php.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;(The best I could find for an approximation).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23879185-114834510137482953?l=brooklynserpico.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/feeds/114834510137482953/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23879185&amp;postID=114834510137482953' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/114834510137482953'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/114834510137482953'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/2006/05/tras-el-cristal.html' title='Tras el cristal'/><author><name>BrooklynSerpico</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01034145295966267089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23879185.post-114611739063971657</id><published>2006-04-26T22:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-26T22:56:30.653-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Secret Machines . . .</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://image.listen.com/img/356x237/3/3/8/1/611833_356x237.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://image.listen.com/img/356x237/3/3/8/1/611833_356x237.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="direction: ltr;"&gt; &lt;div&gt;Imagine if the rockin'est band you know played one of the best shows you  have ever seen.  Imagine yourself dancing and singing along, cheering and  screaming until you voice fails.   Imagine the show grows into an orgasmic  crescendo of musical brilliance whose ultimate climax is only tempered by. . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Now imagine all of this is happening as you are surrounded by the dead  souls of music industry.   Accountants in suits.   Jaded A &amp; R people who  heard &lt;a href="http://www.thesecretmachines.com"&gt;The Secret Machines&lt;/a&gt; once last March at 9am before a conference call about the Backstreet  Boys retrospective album while listening to Clair from HR ramble on about the  intricacies of direct deposit.   The two pock marked web-designers who took the  night off from their online roll playing games 'cause Mr. Stein's Nieces didn't  want the tickets.   What if no one around you cares that one of the greatest raw  talents in the world of rock is putting on a legendary performance?   Is it the  same?   Does it feel the same?   Do you wonder why you are the only one dancing?   Why no one knows the words to the songs?   Does the moment feel the same if you  aren't lost in it?  If you are thinking about it this hard, isn't it already  ruined?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;I fell in love with TSM at Webster Hall.   I went on a whim and a strong  recommendation from an old &lt;a href="http://z-e-k.com/"&gt;bandmate&lt;/a&gt;.   They literally blew the roof off the place  (OK, sorry, they figuratively blew the roof off the place -- I hate when people  say literally when they mean figuratively).  They were supporting their album &lt;u&gt;Now  Here is Nowhere&lt;/u&gt;.   That album is responsible for at least 1% of my hearing loss.    It is that good.   I spent a lot of time warming up to the new album, &lt;u&gt;Ten Silver  Drops&lt;/u&gt;.   It is everything that I loved TSM for NOT being; careful, contemplative,  cerebral.   I want to be the last person to criticize an artist for taking a  direction they feel is right, but if they really think it is right, take it  to the fans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;I doubt if anyone from their organization will see this post, but I  want to make my challenge public!   Right here!   On a blog that almost 100 people  have seen!  You guys need to play a show that takes you back to your roots.   Come  to the &lt;a href="http://nymag.com/listings/bar/warsaw/"&gt;Polish National Home,&lt;/a&gt; just a mile or so from you beloved Bushwick.   Do a  cash only show.  No velvet ropes, no record company people, and no friends of  Christine!   Rock like you mean it!   Rock like you care!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Secret Machines/Hiro Ballroom/Maritime Hotel/April 26,2006&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23879185-114611739063971657?l=brooklynserpico.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/feeds/114611739063971657/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23879185&amp;postID=114611739063971657' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/114611739063971657'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/114611739063971657'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/2006/04/secret-machines.html' title='The Secret Machines . . .'/><author><name>BrooklynSerpico</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01034145295966267089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23879185.post-114593379715162333</id><published>2006-04-24T19:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-24T19:56:37.170-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bradly . . .</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/tokinwhiteboy147/Brad_Contemplating.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

wrote a book called &lt;u&gt;Guide&lt;/u&gt;.  There were several passages that included lyrics from a band called &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guided_by_Voices"&gt;Guided by Voices&lt;/a&gt;.  In my mind's eye I imagined a far more cerebral band.  I picked up &lt;u&gt;Mag Earwig!&lt;/u&gt; based solely on the cover art as there are quite a few albums available in the store.  The band really rocked.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I fell in love.  Their execution of short, riff driven songs was really impressive before you consider the depth and complexity of the lyrics.  &lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   As I dug deeper I came across the truly compelling story of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Pollard"&gt;Robert Pollard&lt;/a&gt;, the singer and primary songwriter for the band.  A schoolteacher for over 10 years, he nurtured the band to "semi-fame" as some have described it as he toured each summer.   &lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;Still none of this still could prepare me for what the live show was like.  I saw Pollard first in 2002 when he was still touring as Guided by Voices in support of Isolation Drills.  The raw energy and showmanship takes the band to another level.  Now at 48 years old Uncle BOB has not lost a step.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;Last night we got there late.  The train from &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Williamsburg&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; literally just stopped running for over an hour just as I got there.  It is among the greatest hardships of the hipster class along with finding boys sized jeans long enough to fit that can still show off their total lack of any ass.  The girl at the door at the show told us they were three songs in. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;We found a nice spot by the recycling bin. It turned out to be a great location because the bus boy was seriously hot.  Incredibly every song was better than the one before.  He started off with several songs off his the new albums, From a &lt;u&gt;Compound Eye&lt;/u&gt; and &lt;u&gt;Normal Happiness&lt;/u&gt;.  Decent tight songs that the band seemed to know well.  Within ½ hour into the set he was doing songs from &lt;u&gt;Mag Earwig!&lt;/u&gt;, &lt;u&gt;Alien Lanes&lt;/u&gt; and other albums in between. There was no drop off with the older stuff as is sometimes the case with bands who get to smitten with their new material (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_and_sebastian"&gt;Belle and Sebastian&lt;/a&gt;). A little strut and a swing of the mic and the crowd went crazy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;Pollard: "That's my Robert Plant move . . . you haven't seen that yet tonight!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;The intensity of the show grew with each song.  My friends (both newbies) and I could not keep up the drinking pace that Pollard had set, but we tried.  The guy takes about 2 chugs per beer and an hour into the show he was drinking some sort of brown liquor (Cuervo I think).  The crowd cheered in respect.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;Pollard: "There is nothing like approval and ice cold beer!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;We switched from beer to&lt;a href="http://www.wildturkeybourbon.com/"&gt; Wild Turkey&lt;/a&gt; at this point.  Our generosity in tipping came back to us in spades as the bartender poured 3 very large whiskeys.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;Pollard Salutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;The band was tight.  I am pretty sure I recognized one of the guys from the last incarnation of Guided by Voices.  He was the only other guy on the stage not young enough to be Pollard's son.  I don't love the venue (&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:placename st="on"&gt;Irving&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placename st="on"&gt;Plaza&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;) but the room really worked for Pollard.  Surprisingly I didn't need the earplugs I brought.  The band's intensity came from musicianship and shear finesse not by brute force.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;He finished off the set with a son called 50 year old baby.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;Pollard: "The song is not about me cause I'm only 48!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;From my perch by the recycle bin I was able to start a chant of "Uncle Bob" to entice our hero back to the stage.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;Things start getting fuzzy from here on in as we felt obliged to have more whiskey during the break.  I just had to go right into the center – driven to dance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;Pollard: "....and wear my Maroon Blazer all the time."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;I don't remember how I got home.  I know it wasn't the L train.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;Next week:&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://thesecretmachines.com/"&gt;The Secret Machines&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;PS.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Dennis, pick up “Now here is Nowhere” by The Secret Machines (it might also still stream on their website).&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This band is not about introspection.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;They come to rock you.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23879185-114567290904733777?l=brooklynserpico.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/feeds/114567290904733777/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23879185&amp;postID=114567290904733777' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/114567290904733777'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/114567290904733777'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/2006/04/uncle-bob.html' title='Uncle Bob. . .'/><author><name>BrooklynSerpico</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01034145295966267089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23879185.post-114429017643418750</id><published>2006-04-05T17:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-05T19:27:55.583-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Adam . . .</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://espn.starwave.com/media/ncb/2004/1228/photo/a_morrison2_ft.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://espn.starwave.com/media/ncb/2004/1228/photo/a_morrison2_ft.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I don't understand why you like that shaggy, can't grow a mustache, 70's junkie look", said the "straight" guy at the next desk.

It's about a lost lover that you still yearn for but who was so awful for you in every way. It would take another 7 years to know the pain of those particular circumstances (Bradley), but the music always had an immediate grip on me. Perhaps it was the driving 3/4 time and the tumult of the cord progression that kept me fascinated, but it was the voice behind the song that got me hooked.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; I was sitting in a Jeep Grand Cherokee in the parking lot of a supermarket in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Summit,&lt;/st1:city&gt; &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;New Jersey&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; when I heard him first.  I was with my nephew who had passed out in his car seat.  NPR was profiling an obscure singer/songwriter who had been in an even more obscure &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Portland&lt;/st1:city&gt; &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;Oregon&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; rock band called&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heatmiser"&gt; Heatmiser&lt;/a&gt;.  He had written a song for a not so obscure &lt;a href="http://www.gusvansant.com/"&gt;Gus Van Sant&lt;/a&gt; film.  Elliott's song was already nominated for Best Song, but would surely lose to a now "has been" French Canadian&lt;a href="http://www.snarkywood.com/2004/09/celine_dion.html"&gt; singer &lt;/a&gt;who's song's nauseating grandiosity was surpassed only by the movie for which it was "written".  (In the sadest of all after words to his life, her name appeared in almost every one of his obituaries).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought the soundtrack to Goodwill Hunting which contains Miss Misery and four other Elliott Smith songs. It's worth having just because it is the only place to get the studio version of that song.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I often read posts on &lt;a href="http://sweetadeline.net/"&gt;Sweet Adeline dot net&lt;/a&gt; by some girl's college-type sad sack who fantasizes about how if she were with Elliott he wouldn't be so sad or at least they would be sad together and that would be ok.  I am she at heart.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23879185-114281998066414003?l=brooklynserpico.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/feeds/114281998066414003/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23879185&amp;postID=114281998066414003' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/114281998066414003'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23879185/posts/default/114281998066414003'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brooklynserpico.blogspot.com/2006/03/elliott.html' title='Elliott . . .'/><author><name>BrooklynSerpico</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01034145295966267089</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23879185.post-114280412945094529</id><published>2006-03-19T13:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-03-19T18:16:07.060-08:00</updated><title type='text'>is it wrong to name a guitar?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/1600/Guitar_working.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/2472/320/Guitar_working.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK I am a total dork, but I had to have one.

With that said, I &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;am&lt;/span&gt; arrogant and vein, but only in the way people with low self-esteme or self doubt are.&lt;br /&gt;   Not to long ago, the time came to change my instant messanger "handle".   The handle contained the word "boy".  Now I don't consider myself a "boy" then nor do I now.  I simply named the "handle" after a &lt;a href="http://www.belleandsebastian.com/"&gt;Belle &amp; Sebastian&lt;/a&gt; song I really liked.  Anyhow, realizing that the name selected distracted from the main goal for which it was created, hooking up or meeting guys, I decided I needed a change.&lt;br /&gt;   I decided I needed a name that would evoke a sexy persona that guys could relate to and would conjure an image for them that I could roughly emulate.  I remembered the Al Pacino film Cruisin' and thought, ok . . . um, no.   But as I was searching on his name I came accross stills from &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Serpico&lt;/span&gt; a classic from about the same era.  Now I had known about the film and the person on whom it was based, but I had never seen the film.  As I looked through the stills and posters I was hooked.   One great upside is that Pacino in the film goes from clean shaven to mustache to full beard and from short hair to long hair.  I do the same general tranistion each year at least once.  I figured if the image did conjure something positive for guys they would likely be into facial hair and frankly sort of scruffy guys.&lt;br /&gt;   Well that is most of the story of BrooklynSerpico.  A couple people have picked up on it.  Oh well, its post-modernism, i got to resemble someone.
