FRIENDS.

Just returned from a nice desert romp via the gorgeous landscapes of Marfa,Texas and it's surrounding abandon towns + tumbleweeds. Wanted to share some images of the calm...


Whether it's by the sea, or in sandy crackly terrain-there's nothing like seeing "No Service" on your phone and having the allowance to just..be.


After attempting to visit Clay Henry, the beer drinking goat of Lajitas who drinks to forget (apparently he is now retired), we drove through the wild havelina ridden roads of Tralingua Ghostown blasting this special JJ Cale song which pretty much always makes me well up in tears and feel weightless.

PS. Road Trips with car altars? a must.

Good Weekend wishes to you all.

FRIENDS.

Big gratitude vibes to the the amazing Piper Weiss + NY Magazine who reached out to include my fine parents in their just released Weddings issue! Piper, who wrote the piece is the author of the KILLER blog My Mom The Style Icon, which is a serious trove of fashion, inspiration, and "coffee at desk" horizons. "All About My Mother" includes some sweet 70's wedding photos from rad people including Ms. Chloe Sevigny. I have so much to say about this photo and what it means to me but I'll just let the magic speak for itself.

Check out the love-lorned life warriors dancing to most likely a cover of a song by WAR. (note the r + f print from season 2 beside it-flashback!)

Bijous.

FRIENDS.

A Super Tuesday to you.

Wanted to share this tee shirt design I recently made for the great Kevin Barker whose simply gorgeous debut solo record You and Me has recently come out on Gnomensong. Highly recomended! Check out the sweet vibes HERE


Mr. Barker is a holy mecca of wisdom specializing in one of my favorite musical genres of all time-70's Boot Cut Jams. About 5 years ago R + F DJ Turquoise Wisdom sent me this track with a disclaimer that I may have some serious owl eyes from it's power. Well, owl eyes forever- as I still get major goosebumps when I listen to this jam by another KEVIN with a surname, COYNE. There is nothing like listening to this as the Spring breeze approaches with hair hittin your face in a windowless car filled with buds and flasks.

You can most likely nab one of these tee-sers at a special gig this Thursday at Zebulon in Brooklyn!
ENJOY and do come Thursday to Zebulon if you can-we'll be djing classic rock bits and our chums OPEN OCEAN will be performing as well. Good time island indeed!
Thursday, March 11th
Zebulon, 258 Wythe Avenue (@ North 3rd)
Brooklyn, NY
Kevin Barker: 9:00 pm
Open Ocean: 9:30 pm
Rusty Roses DJs: 10:00 pm-2:00 am

FRIENDS.

My knees are shaking like a newborn golden calf, as an open ended mystery that has racked my brain for YEARS has finally been revealed. First Carly Simon, now THIS. I originally heard this SCORCHER animal of a song on the Silas and Maria website (designed by our web wizard Arron Bleasdale). Since then with ram tipped cane in hand, I have scoured the internetz, phoned the greatest of record head'z I could think of, shazamed the globe, and had come up with nothing. After shedding great tears of question, Jill Bradshaw decided to help by enlisting killer artist Fergadelic whose great wisdom has finally fulfilled the quest, full circle.

I am so elated to present to you one of my favorite rippers ever, "Everything" by Luv Machine.


HAPPY FRIDAY.

SPIRIT EXERCISE.
Friends-forgive my lack of posts-been feverishly working on new projects, bits and bobs-more sweet info to come.

Heres a super pretty ditty to share by Sir Cliff Richard-think of Spring,and make a wish-we HOPE it comes through and true.
