Look at the punk rock show! Converge rocked, despite finally deciding to play at around 12:45am -- 45 minutes later than posted, a problem, since I am old and increasingly hate being made to wait. Unfortunately, the sound got weird toward the end. The guitars were oddly quiet and the bass sounded hollow -- not sure what happened, but the energy in the room more than made up for it.

Case in point, some shirtless kid jumped on stage and then dove off of it with Jacob Bannon in tow. Instantly some huge polish dudes (this is in the heart of Greenpoint after all) grabbed the kid and threw him down the stairs where they followed, proceeding to throw him out the door and into the street. Ha ha, funny!

But what did I learn? Most importantly, I learned is that there is a band called Genghis Tron that super sucks, yet, unsurprisingly, has a huge Brooklyn following. Typically, I would like such a premise, but clearly, the singer needs an "attitude adjustment" the type of which my fist may be able to fulfill. Oh, and the synths are gay.

(Some coolish photos I made all by my lonesome, after the jump...)

Check out this little fist, for only $65.

Well, I guess all you have to do is click one of these buttons to make your ad "viral".That's all it takes. Meanwhile, I'm at fault for being anywhere near a site called "BuzzFeed".

This piss-poor article from Momentum clued me in to The 5th Annual North American Handmade Bicycle Show which was in the beautiful town of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Did you know that Indiana has the most Mustard Gas storage facilities in the United States?

Fortunately, great pictures were taken of NAHBS. And are viewable here.

Speaking of monkeys, check out this little chief right here. My friend participated in a Mexican photographer's Artistic Vision with this monkey in Playa Del Carmen, during which it humped her arm.

But what do we really know about this animal except that it is randy? This monkey is a Squirrel Monkey, which are common in South and Central America:

Female squirrel monkeys have a pseudo-penis that they use to display dominance over smaller monkeys, much like the way the male squirrel monkeys display their dominance.

You may remember Monkey + 1 from the label, OMCO. He now has a blog, and has posted a nice new acidy/breaky mix, which you could download or stream for yourself.

...are what should happen to anyone who calls someone and says, "Who is this?" These statements are hot-button-topics to me, my Economy Drillings were I Obama. But this Champ's friend did just that, durning my morning commute, no less. He also shared with me that, "I don't even know what area code 917 is..."

Worse, the follow-up text, "so you were calling my friend with some sex noises" (note the lack of Capitalization and Punctuation) from his pal opens up several more questions:

Q: so you were calling my friend with some sex noises
A: Yes, and I can provide you with the same. Ready?

Q: so you were calling my friend with some sex noises
A: Yes, regrettably I am sorry that I was not a better lover to your friend, but I appreciate your concern for him.

Q: so you were calling my friend with some sex noises
A: Yes, and I can call with more, and with several different kinds.

or

Q: so you were calling my friend with some sex noises
A: No, and I am sorry I scared your friend. Thankfully he has you to fight his battles for him.

Q: so you were calling my friend with some sex noises
A: No, because your friend doesn't swallow.

Q: so you were calling my friend with some sex noises
A: No, because I am not an asshole unlike the both of you (see above).

Seriously, more soon...

Do you live in LA?

My sincere apologies, although you hear Nudge by attending this "noise kid show". And special "sicky-brahs!" to you if you live in Northridge, a northern Los Angeles suburb, because that's where it's at. Perhaps it's CSU related?

More soon...
