Tonight Professor Wexler and I recorded the second installment of our radio show. It’s about an hour long and we play hits by Jeff Mangum, Chairlift, Kendrick Lamar, Etta James, and more. We sound amazing – you should really take a listen.
It’s been some time since I produced a radio show. Some of y’all may remember Yr Weekend Starts Now, my weekly radio show at Newtown Radio. Getting in the studio and playing music and discussing music for a couple hours, it’s the best! I miss it.
And so: Professor Wexler and I built a new studio – still working out the kinks – and recorded a show to run through my list of Top Ten Albums of 2011. We’re a little rusty on the mics, we don’t even play any music until the eighth minute and it takes us almost two hours to get through the top ten albums but hey, there’s no rules with internet radio!
Daryl and I are DJing tonight at Tandem in Bushwick. We will be playing only New Orleans rap: Lil Boosie, Lil Wayne, Master P, Mystikal, Birdman, Juvenile, Big Freedia and more.
It’s a full moon tonight! Let’s party!
Love,
Andy

Dear Diary,
This summer has been incredible. I’m living the dream! I’ve been traveling for over six weeks, drove across the country, spent some time in Los Angeles, hanging in Seattle now… the weather is great here. We took the boat out on the lake last weekend, so much fun!
This week I finally sat in front of the computer to download and organize something like 2,400 photos and videos I’ve taken over the last few months. Then I got a little stoned and edited together this montage… two months of my summer, from NYC to LA, in just under four mintues. I hope you enjoy!
Love,
Andy

What was your favorite part?
What was your least favorite part?
Would you let your daughter “hang out” with me?
Would you let your sister accompany me to a Phish “concert”?
HOLY HELL last night was awesome. Thanks to everyone who came out!
