I love this for many reasons. Here's the Chinese metal band, Tang Chao, singing The Internationale.

Ha! This is just funny to me. Jeff Jarvis, new media evangelist and blogger, has an advertisement for what seems a technologically advanced toilet seat on his site. I have no great comment about this, only some juvenile snickering.

This is an animation I threw together. It didn't turn out like I wanted, but here it is anyway.

More clips from the apartment. My little Nikon is having trouble so I am using the big Canon which has much better quality, but is so less convenient.

I am sorry I didn't have a better camera. I am sorry that lady got in the way. There is a tale of love, and of longing, and of loss here. It's kind of beautiful if you think about it. Music by Tom Waits.

I wanted to put something together with video clips from archive.org. Originally I wanted to set it to music and write my own copy, but I ended up liking the flow with the original sound, so I left it all in place, even enhanced some of it.

I felt like taking the camera out for a spin, but because the battery was only half-charged I had to take some shots to kill it so I could recharge it fully. I ended up liking the clips enough to edit them into this clip. Music here is Yo La Tengo.

What kind of disgusting shit is this? As you may have noticed, CNN revamped their Web site for a cleaner, leaner look. The site also now features a prominent position for 'Popular News,' a portion of the front page devoted to most-viewed stories. Surely this is generated by an algorithm, but what does it say about CNN's readers/viewers that one of the most popular stories is 'Girl disemboweled in

Click To Play This clip is intended to illustrate a story I wrote a couple of years ago. I think of it as a sketch for a more formal, better organized and better shot project. These clips were shot entirely with my Nikon L6. The next one will be shot with a far better camera. Music in this clip is 'Phil and Jerry' by Mylab.

Click To Play Can I tell a story of a chicken who couldn't cross the road without any pictures of said chicken? I don't know. Maybe somebody can tell me if this works. It's some quick writing to go with a montage of self-portrait shots. The music here is "Zurle" by Balkan Tribes.

Click To Play Down near Manhattan's Union Square I happened by a shoestore that had this shoe in the window. It took me surprise. When I was a youngster, punk rock stuff was hard to find, you had to go to strange stores in far-away places in order to get it. When I finally could drive I would go all the way to Zed Records in Long Beach, California...an almost hour long

Wow, it been since last December that I updated my photo gallery. What have I been doing, you ask? That's a good question, my friends. That's a good question. Anyway, here are 24 new pix.

Wow, this is pretty good. Ian Svenonius, formerly of The Nation of Ulysses and currently of The Weird War, does a sort-of talk show with punk, hardcore and avant-pop musicians. His interview style is a performance to behold in itself, coming off as a sort of pretentious punk intelectual, a Dick Cavett for the hipster/hardcore set. But as the interview with Ian MacKaye (The Evens, Fugazi,

This weekend we saw the fantastic Charles Burnett movie Killer of Sheep, the long-neglected masterpiece about the life of a poverty-stricken family in 1970s Watts, told through the eyes of Stan, a sensitive man deadened by the hard work and psychic impact of working at a slaughterhouse. It's a hard movie to pin down, so honest and real I left the theater drained, unable to talk about the story

Well, here it is, for the non-existant crowd that has not been waitng for it. It's the Hardcore Show #10, jumping over number 9 because who cares about that boring number.
