That's my home! Still at swat, still dying from work. There has been one development pertinent to this blog: I got a radio show! Go to wsrnfm.org to access podcasts for "Mouichido," my "electronic" show that really just plays whatever the fuck I want that happens to have synthesizers in it. Here are some highlights from the last week:

This song goes out pizza hut, taco bell, and those who appreciate them.
Das Racist - Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell (Wallpaper Remix)

I haven't seen the sunrise since I was six cause I'm that committed to REM patterns.

Yeasayer - Ambling Alp

Famous band numbers: 867-5309, 6060-842, and now 90210

Fever Ray is aka the Knife!!! I love the Knife! and the Spoon! I lied.

Suburbs Schmuburbs

"Oh, this tea party is an excellent use of our Ivy League educations!"


I live in the suburbs of New York City, and often times it is sickening. Women go to Princeton, Harvard, Yale, and then they give it all up for a membership at Equinox and daily trips to the nail salon. Well, I'm being a little hyperbolic. But my life has undoubtedly been shaped by my hatred for the town I live in. There's nothing like claustrophobic suburbia to develop teenage angst. And with all that pent up frustration, music becomes super important. So here it is, my life as a reluctant suburbanite.


Ben Folds is the king. If you meet a northeastern burbs-er, just mention you love for Guster, Dispatch and/or the early Ben Folds. You'll immediately be accepted.

You may, however, meet a hipster suburbanite. When in doubt, jam to Devendra Banhart. If said hipster is wearing neon raybans, you'd better go with Justice.

Bone up on the local jams. Freak out at lyric's references to hangout spots.
Fountains of Wayne - Fire Island
Quintus - Orienta

Finally, go to college and realize you miss it all.
