OverHead in New York (Re-post)

I just got back from running my usual 3-4 miles on FDR. I was listening to this new band a good friend (and fellow house dj) turned me on to. It just goes to show house djs, the good ones anyways, DO know their music... and djs in general are great at recommending things to people and crowds that they may love but would have never found had that dj not introduced them to it.

The sun was making the river on my right glimmer and shine. The air tasted salty and dirty. Birds flew overhead. Helicopters took off and landed right in front of me, and the unique smell of the fuel gagged me momentarily. Sweat beads formed above my eyes. A man jumped rope on a granite slab facing the river, Queens and Brooklyn. I finished, crossing 14th st. in a huff. C to B.5 is my cool-down.

Anyways, the band is called Love is All, and they are infectious. Combine what's good about the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, !!!, and Broken Social Scene. I would say Animal Collective too, but I'm mad at them because I just bought some shitty side project cd for 9 bucks and wanted to throw it out the window after listening to the 50 minutes of droning drivel. Rarely does that listening experience happen to me; usually even when I'm only MILDLY aware of what I'm buying it turns out to be enjoyable on some level. But not this cd. So I won't say there are good things about Animal Collective right now. I will just nod to them, off in the corner I put them.

So I get back from running, and I saw my gmail notifier was fatter than when I left him. He's hungry, I swear! I don't mean maybe! And as I click Inbox, I am shocked to read this:

As you may have seen on Overheard in New York, I was informed this
morning that I am no longer affiliated with the site. If you don't know
me, I'm the guy who edited the entries and wrote all the headlines.

I have launched NewYorkOverheard.com. Same Overheard, less overhead.
It's the same thing you and I have built and loved. If you have any
links, please change and please _spread the word_.

An explanation is forthcoming, and will appear on the site.

PS OverheardAtCollege.com is live, too!

Yours,
Michael Malice
Editor, New York Overheard

I couldn't believe it!!! I love this site. Coincidentally, an entry I submitted two weeks ago made it on the site ON ITS LAST DAY with the wonderful and amazing Michael Malice as its Editor-in-Chief.

If you're not familiar with OverheardinNewYork.com, check it out. I always get a laugh out of it, no matter how crummy a mood I'm in. It also shows you just how "colorful" the city we live in is, and how often people are really talking and thinking the same thing.

I guess it just got too big for him to handle. I wish him the best of luck, and you bet your ass my submissions (cuz dude - I hear a LOT of crazy shit) are going to NewYorkOverheard.com instead from now on.

Lovely,
Miffed,
