Tommy Makem died this week. I had the pleasure of seeing Tommy perform a few times in Washington (The Four Ps on Connecticut Ave) and it was a blast. I wish we’d been a bit more mature (smuggling brandy in so that we could add it to our cokes) but when we weren’t singing along, ...

Working from Home

I’m lucky enough to work from home more than half the time. It means early starts (usually online before 7am) and long days (ending circa 6) but the breaks walking the dogs are so much nicer than hitting the Burritoville in the Chrysler Building (although they do have the best mass-produced burritos, and some of ...

Tomorrow, my new-to-me 1999 Honda VFR800 Interceptor arrives. I haven’t owned a bike since my 1997 Triumph Trophy 900 was impounded in the UK back in 2004 (that’s a long story). I’m very psyched. This is probably more bike than I need, but it’s likely the best all arounder out there. I looked at the ...

Walking up Park Ave today I experienced a surreal phenomenon: Mariachi everywhere. Not performing, mind you. But undoubtedly going from one shitty job to another in full corona-sponsored regalia! I would like to believe that these artists are able to raise a family while preserving their cultural heritage in music. It is, however, more likely ...
