The weather: For the first time in over two years, nyc is expecting day after day of sweltering 90 degrees plus steaming liquidy humidity and the world is turning on its air conditioning and awaiting for the inevitable brown outs so Con Edison can up their already the highest in the country (and therefore the world) rates.
Live: Coming up in the next week: Dr. John, Laura Marling, James Taylor, and One Direction. In other words: my summer vacation.
Recorded: I’ve been listening most to Samuel Claiborne’s debut album and the new Titus album practically nonstop (I mean when I am not working music wise…). Both of them repay a close listen.
News: lessee, everybody hates the Iran deal, a dentist killed a lion, Taylor Swift is a godmother, Joyce Mitchell will max out at seven years after helping two murderers escape from the jail she was meant to keep them in, and justice for all, the latest story from ISIS is they are amassing an army to attack India and foment the end of the world, the homeless are still homeless, La Guardia is gonna be torn down and rebuilt, assume we will all be long dead by the time that is completed, And so we reach slowly for August….
Sports: The Yanks have won 15 of their last 20 games and are one arm away from running away with the American League. Meanwhile, if the Mets could just get a little more pop in the line up, they aren’t a million miles out either.
Movies: The new Mission Impossible movie opens on Friday and I wouldn’t mind 3Ding it.
