This is too cute for words.
I helped out on a documtentary shoot in Harlem today. It was fantastic! I really love the unexpected moments that come with filming on the fly - it’s all about improvise - and today I got to do just that!
Tonight.
Clare and the Reasons - “That’s All”
This is the best Genesis cover I’ve ever heard (in my humble opinion, at least). Brooklyn based chamber-pop extraordinaire Clare and the Reasons mix light, airy girlie vocals with fun instrumentation which include brass, strings, and other things to hit. This track, off the recently released “Arrow”, is the follow up to the acclaimed debut EP, “The Movie”.
Additionally, they have an amazing cover of “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” on their Myspace. Certainly worth checking out along with “Rodi” and “Pluto.”

Just caught the sunset at Battery Park.
I live in West Chelsea, a charmingly beautiful neighborhood in Manhattan. I’m spoiled by the Chelsea Market, french cafes, Billy’s bakery, a good mix of old and modern architecture, waterfront, UCB, and countless art galleries. It’s wonderful, but tonight my neighborhood became even greater because I actually got to know my neighbors.
And, I’ve got the Internet to thank because Kristen, Mike and I put it all together based on Tweets, Foursquare mayorship showdowns and Tumblr posts that we in fact are next-door neighbors. Tonight, they invited me over and we talked for hours over wine, a trip to Billy’s and my first taste of Japanese whiskey.
This is the view from their roof, a perfect view of Manhattan that’s just not visible from my garden apartment next door, which looks onto well, a garden.
I like my neighborhood even more now.
