Bangladeafy announce new record Narcopaloma
Official press release: Closing a three-year gap since their bewildering The Briefcase EP left jaws swinging, NYC-based Bangladeafy returns with their ripping new set of tunes encapsulated on Narcopaloma. The origin of the Bangladeafy moniker fuses the Bangladeshi heritage of drummer Atif Haq with the physical hearing impairment of bassist/pianist/vocalist Jon Ehlers – the multi-instrumentalist…

William McKinley died on this day in 1901. Much like James K. Polk, McKinley was a very important yet somewhat obscure president, largely forgotten by most people but regarded highly by modern day historians as a successful expansionist and an overall good leader. So here's the basic rundown: McKinley was a friend of big business, a nice guy (even after getting shot, he pleaded with an angry mob not to harm his assassin), and the man who got us through the Spanish-American War. But forget all that crap. The real reason I will always love William McKinley is because he was crazy enough to appoint the "damned cowboy" Theodore Roosevelt as his Vice-President, paving the way for the greatest presidency ever.
Here's a recent live performance of my McKinley song at Arlene's Grocery.
Happy Birthday Barack Obama. I wrote the first part of this song (0:00-0:23) way back in 2006, while sitting outside of the Jacobson Faculty Tower at SUNY New Paltz. I was trying to impress/get the attention of a cute female acquaintance of mine that was sitting nearby. It didn't work. It never works. The second part of the song was written a couple of years later while I was sitting in bed and watching Jesus Christ Superstar. The song sounded optimistic, and I felt it would be a good album-closer, so that's why I named it after our current president.
This song is called GodBreath.
I think it's pretty.
Here I am performing my Open Mic routine. The camera starts off a little shaky. I apologize.
This "New Pope" is just a marketing gimmick. Once we realize we don't like how this one tastes, they'll bring back the old one and he'll be as popular as ever. (This is probably the sloppiest photoshopping I've ever done)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HERBERT HOOVER!
"Given the chance to go forward with the policies of the last eight years, we shall soon with the help of God, be in sight of the day when poverty will be banished from this nation."
Herbert Hoover said these words during his inauguration. A few months later, he ate those words, as several others starved while the nation was in the grips of the Great Depression. In an ironic twist that O. Henry or Rod Serling would be proud of, Hoover, who was responsible for feeding millions during World War I (and would later be a key figure in providing aid post-WWII), will forever be remembered as an uncaring, selfish president, due to his failure to get us out of the Great Depression. Would we have been able to recover from the Great Depression faster if we had someone else in office? Would Hoover have made a great president if he were elected during any other time period? Who knows. If history has taught me anything, it's that NO ONE UNDERSTANDS HOW THE ECONOMY WORKS. Whatever. Herb has been gaining some supporters over the past few years, and heck, I certainly respect him for being a self-made man and for all the charitable work that he did. Here's my Hoover song.
