While Sir Pent and I proceed to work on what will probably be some sort of EP release that I have entitled “Copyright Is For Losers” (although that title is contested, I believe), Chopper Newt has been in occultation apparently working on an LFA concept album. I mean, if Green Day can do it, why can’t we? Without a doubt we are cooler than Green Day. Poorer, too. I have no idea what the Newtski is really doing, but he revealed some of new lyrics last eve and I was suitably impressed by their po-mo stream of consciousness style.
Meanwhile, the Newt is going to sing on our next single “Dance Theodora,” since he apparently liked my punk-pop composition. At least two more tunes are in works that I think will see the light of day soon, too.
Also meanwhile, I’ve been saying goodbye (temporarily since I’ll be back next month, and then again probably next year) to New York City. I’m not sure LFA can survive without a presence in Brooklyn, so I’m keeping the address.
Here’s new DUMBO graffito that I found quite appropriate:
That’s what I’ve been thinking all month…
Here’s the Manhattan Bridge this morning:
Damn nice morning it was, too.
Here’s my favorite Brooklyn Mexican joint:
And here’s the Gecko last eve after a few beers playing his brother-in-law’s classical guitar (I tried to steal this guitar, which sounds really nice, but was caught. Now it has to stay in Brooklyn when I emigrate back to Ohio for the year. Boo.):
A few more…
Here’s the Brooklyn Bridge in the morning sun:
The Brooklyn Naval Yard (What you see from my apartment when you look away from Manhattan. Not quite so awe-inspiring.)
I should mention we have two cats here: the mother is named Navy and the kitten is named Yard. I didn’t pick out the names.
Here’s New Jersey as seen from an airplane where it’s much more impressive:
And finally, some nice irises for a touch of blue:
