Yo, so I will be posting a new Knicks-centric podcast (~11 min. long) shortly, but wanted to pepper said content with an anecdote, potentially a harbinger of good things to come in NYK Land. Here goes: A few days after the D-Rose trade, my family took a short a trip to AC (Atlantic City, NJ) and while news of that city's demise has (probably?) been exaggerated, it's certainly no thriving metropolis. But anyway, what gigantic ad/billboard is still front and center on top of a sneaker store on the corner of the popular outlet shopping area? You guessed it. Young Derrick Rose, former MVP and centerpiece of an Adidas campaign of yesteryear. The ad is faded, and sad if considered in an alternate reality where D-Rose is not currently a New York Knick, but I am Mr. Sunshine & Roses, and I took this is as a 'SIGN' man. Some enterprising street hooligan needs to graffiti that biatch with some blue and orange is what I'm thinking. Hell yea.

UPDATE: Billboard is on the corner of Arctic/Arkansas, in case you were wondering, and why the heck wouldn't you be. all in for d rose, y'all. I'm pretty sure the lights are still on at the Adidas outlet store.

Now?

Saw The Lobster last night and really loved it (audio podcast review forthcoming––watchout!). I vaguely knew the premise going in, but the movie was vastly different than anything I could've imagined (I was thinking 'twee' given the nature of the plot, and it couldn't have been less so). I highly recommend this movie. You probably have to be in the right headspace but don't ask me to explain that headspace for fear I might out myself as being unwell. Whoops.

Many people have framed pictures of me hanging on their walls (not just on mantles, side tables and other places of inferior esteem). Anyone'll tell you this.

On the human condition and other matters.

Humans born on 9/11 all gonna be having sex pretty soon. People forget that.

It feels like when musicians get mad at politicians using their songs without permission is kind of stupid. Because just who cares? Like just say you don't care. That would make you appear cooler. Or don't say anything at all. This happens every cycle. Politician A makes Band B mad because they played Song C as intro music. It's a really tedious cycle imo. You don't really need that as a reason/excuse to say Donald Trump is bad. You can just say he's bad whenever you want. Using 30 seconds of whatever song drowned out by idiots applause/crowd noise is literally the least offensive thing he's ever done. Just my $0.02, folks. Have a nice day. 

I have major respect for people who make Wikipedia graph-timelines for rock n' roll band-members. I'm not sure what the tiny blue and orange squares mean exactly for Dan Hawkins (did he play drums on one song live in late 2005?), but I respect the hell out of the fact that they make sense to whoever made this png.
