Been meaning to post this, from a trip to Ireland in 2011, maybe some FOTs should make a pilgrimage to the real Newbridge in Kildare.  Heres a photo of Newbridge's silver in Cork City.

I do chalk murals at a local bar in exchange for beer, I did one recently of '80s WWF managers:



My first thought looking at this was, Paul Bearer + Jimmy Hart = Glen Jones.  I mean this as a compliment to all involved, of course.

Nice work.  What bar?

THAT is seriously awesome.

On a related topic, I just had an article published on The Classical (aka the only sports website that matters) which later got picked up by Salon. It's on my hopelessly, endlessly dorky hobby of e-fedding. I basically create fake fake wrestlers.

It's so weird. I got published on Salon... for the most shameful thing in my life!

Hey all,

haven't posted in a while, and feel like a bit of a heel showing up to post again on the "shameless self promotion thread"...but here we are.

My label, Negative Fun Records has its next two releases prepped and available for pre-order now on our Bandcamp page.

NF003 is a split 7" between the band Carton from Windsor, VT and Alpha Cop from Raleigh, NC.
Carton sounds similar to Drive Like Jehu with decent amounts of early Dinosaur Jr influence. Folks into psych/drone stuff might be familiar with the singer/guitarist's other band, Heavy Winged.
Alpha Cop is post-rockish stuff, though it reminds me a lot of early/mid-90s bands like Hoover and The Crown Hate Ruin, maybe a little Rodan sprinkled in there.

NF004 is from Hoboken, NJ's (our first Jersey band!!!) Wormburner. This is anthemic, narrative stuff in the vein of The Hold Steady/Mountain Goats. Sean Eden from Luna plays guitar on the B-side. Both of these songs are super catchy. Great songwriting, great lyrics.

If you write a blog or play music on the radio/internet, shoot me a line and I can get some promos out to you.

Thanks for letting me schill.

Hello there FOTs; this is Ben Karak. I do improv and my team is hosting a show at Williamsberg's Brick Theater. We're going to have standup from Michele Wolf (MTV's Girlcode), improv from UCB House Team Detroit and my team Fantastic Gary, and improvised hiphop from MC Harold (Pat Noth and Chris "Shockwave" Sullivan). Plus, a live funk band. That's a lotta entertainment for only $5!

It's this Thursday, July 18th! Brick Theater: 579 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, New York

My record label, Negative Fun Records, is co-hosting a day party at Hopscotch Music Fest in Raleigh from 12-5:30 on Saturday Sept 7th at a club called Legends.

Pretty proud of the line-up we've assembled. If you are coming to the festival, stop by and say hello.

As Yogi Berra said, self-promotion is always best if somebody else does it for you.
