Errite. I'm out of NY for the week; things are going to be sleepy around here. Didn't deliver on write ups for that previously mentioned Z-Trip or new music, will do later. (Wayyy backed up on press releases, but will hopefully get around to some listening and culling in the days ahead.)

A few plugs before I'm out:

1. I'm late to the game, but The Dream's "Rockin That Shit" is the baddest R&B jam I've heard in a minute.

2. Tumblrers! Are you following Cool Songz 4 Teen Girlz?

3. Come see and support new indie improv hotness Casino make their full fledged debut next week! Playing Thank You Robot's Summer Fridays, Under St. Mark's Theatre, Fri. August 28 at 10:30pm.

4. Lastly: this has been a fucked up month. Nobody died or anything like that, but... eh. You know. Life is all. I haven't been myself lately, and I'm in bad need of a little escape. I do need to say: I have the absolute best friends in New York. I mean it. I know the most funny and brilliant and scary talented people in this whole fucking city, and I only hope that in 15 years I can be in place to start paying every one of you back for the support and love I feel. House party on the 29th, for real.
