THE UNFORGETTABLE SEASON

"This is what I thought you said...talking on the phone! " Two years ago when I quit my job and began my career at doing whatever I want, a friend told me that it would be worth my while. I knew that already, but living off your savings can be a bit weird. I recall last summer biking all around Manhattan looking at creeps and babes. It was fantastic! Then I went to LA and started driving all- over the city. I began to hang out on 3rd street by the Whole Foods market just to pick up babes. Then I'd go to Scout and hang out with their shopgirl, Angela- some hipster who should've been a yuppie. I ended back in New York after a few months of that and began doing the same S**t allover again.
Today I'm riding through SoHo and hanging out in A.P.C. talking to the Shop Girls. I think I might start working there for a month. If I do, Ill let y'all know (How very Texan of me). In the Meantime, Let's give a hoo-rah for VAN PELT's performance at SXSW!!! And Let's spread the enthusiasm for VIOLENS who will be playing at the American Apparel's Party- Sup Glen!

Cassettes Won't Listen- Freeze and Explode from album Small Time Machine
Okkervil River- Lost Coastlines- from the album The Stand-In's
And my old band Nightslashers(post-Chris Otto & Pre-Schieles)- James, I don't Care- Letters -Zshare

SALTY FRIDAYS AND THE HIPPIE's SCREAM JOHNNY's

I wish that one day the weather in New York could just figure itself out, but I guess it's like everyone else in this town- Hot one day...cold the next. So I made it home in good enough time just to relax and receive an email from an old friend. She happens to be a Mum now and a hippie Mum at that! I'm pretty sure she's good at being both. I remember when we were teenagers, she and I would play "band"- New Order(me) or Mazzy Star(her). Maybe back then she was telling me she'd turn out to be one hell of a chick! Well, Nadia, here it goes..."You're the best! And your kid's gonna be one hell of a Salt Lick!

DON'T PLAY WITH KNIVES...BABIES ARE AROUND

There's so much I can say about the image above but I won't say much because her "I have a 15 year-old face" says it all! She's really saying, (Oliver Twist voice, but you know, Asian) "Please, sir, give me some Salty Soup and a Bon Jovi T-shirt!?"
Anyways, the images are that of a New York City "man about town"/photographer, Antwan Duncan. He has that website ithinkyoureswell.com
Also, I hear he's a biologist and holds down a gig with Interview magazine- Go Antwan Go!
But we at SALTY FOUR (S4) don't really care about any of that...All we care about is ourselves and this is why you read our Salty Postings- You also only care about yourself! Right? Right. So here, let's spread our selfish-ness with some mellow tunes from the Magnetic Fields and Tony Ocean's favorite German artist for intercourse, Dolle Jolle!

Magnetic Fields- Absolutely Cukoo (Right Lick that S**t)

Dolle Jolle- Balearic Incarnation (Right Lick that S**t) Todd Terje Remix on Permanent Vacation Records

Dolle Jolle- Balearic Incarnation Lp version ( You know what to do). Buy it on Beatport.com

Good Guy Mikesh & Filburt- Someone Told Me (Permannet Vacation; Right Lick to dwnld)
