“Intimacy” from Bloc Party

Intimacy is Bloc Party’s new-ish album and you can listen for free on Imeem (new-ish since it was released digitally in August, but the actual hard copy album just came out this week).

I’ve listened a couple of times now, and I like it– I’ll definitely want to check it out live.

I have been on hiatus*

* This just means I am lazy and undiscipined. I know I want to resume blogging. I have to figure out how to make it work from my iPhone so I can blog on the go. I will return soon!

Jones Beach throwback

Though it feels chilly in NYC (summer over already? really??), when I think August, I think weekends on crowded beaches. Love these black and whites by Joseph Szabo. A trip back to the 80s and 90s…

Thanks Don’t Panic
