Here’s a live 60-minute mix I did on Saturday.  I just grabbed a small stack of house vinyl from my collection and hit record.   It ain’t perfect but i think it flows well and has a nice funky vibe… mix of Chicago, French, and NYC house from the 1990′s.   Featuring tracks by: DJ Sneak, [...]

Scoooooooooooooore!  Scooped this beautiful Colnago Super Pista from a gentleman up in Harlem yesterday.  I’m still unsure of the exact year and model, but I believe it to be a late 70′s – early 80′s Super Pista, probably one of the Colnago Mexico series.  It has a Campagnolo C-Record gruppo; 165mm Pista crankset, hubs, headset, [...]

I just saw this new “experimental” frame from the folks at Bikesdirect / Bikeisland.  They added a second top tube to their popular Kilo TT bike frame, and widened the front fork and rear triangle to accept 700×38 wheels.  It’s based on the vintage designs of the early 20th century, sometimes referred to as “scorchers.” [...]

Here’s one of my favorite songs by Carey Ott, a Nashville singer-songwriter who I profiled a few months ago.  This one is called “Human Heart” and it’s the title track of Carey’s new album (which you can listen to here).  It’s super catchy and one of my favorites from the new album.  The Human Heart [...]

A friend of mine organized a Christmas gift swap last month, and the gift I received was so cool I have to post some pictures of it here.  It’s a sleeping cat made out of marzipan, on top of a base of solid chocolate.  It came in a lovely presentation box, too!  I’ve eaten a [...]
