I woke up this morning to an email from Amazon informing me that my pre-ordered Louder Than Love was available to download to my Kindle for Mac. I've started it and it's terrific—a real insider's view of the rock world. Support a great new Buffalo writer! Order a copy at Amazon here.

I hope radio never goes away. I know shouting is here to stay.

I like how happy the woman speaking looks. This was originally a Sunday panel for King Features Syndicate's Six Chix strip.

High heels probably make it harder to chase squirrels.

Adam Gibson sent me this photo and the following note:
"Here is my Jenn-Air Rotisserie in action over the weekend! It was a big hit and had people stopping in their tracks to check out what that smell was in my neighborhood."
Man, that looks tasty! It looks pretty good in the ad photo below as well. Adam, I hope you have a similar chef's toque to wear. Thanks for keeping us updated on your amazing restoration!

I took this photo on 9/11/13 on the east side of the intersection. It looks like it got melted or mangled—it's been hot lately. I wish I could read all the copy. I like the thought in the lower right corner: "You must lay tile—alone (arrow) Feds. Here is an earlier post about a House of Hades tile I spotted on 5th Avenue. And here is a link to a ghostly image I saw earlier at the same intersection. It is back.

Screengrab from Joe's Pub at Public Theater
Friend, audio engineer and drummer Ken Meyer has a gig with his band Life in a Blender at 9:30 PM this Friday, September 13 at Joe's Pub, part of the New York Public Theater. I've seen them there and it was a blast.
Joe's Pub quotes a New Yorker review:
"Life in a Blender is a long-running Brooklyn institution specializing in quirkily heartfelt pop that is both surreal and thought-provoking. Lately, the endearingly absurdist musings of the lead singer, Don Rauf, have come augmented with lush arrangements. Rife with oddness, the band’s work hides moments of poignancy and introspection amid the laughs." -The New Yorker

My friend Cy sent me this photo of one of the larger size Buffalo Forge blowers. Love the new yellow color! Cy is Brenda Lo's son, by the way.
