New Header Image

I just added another image to the header of the site. Its a picture of the SkyClub and the SkyClub Fitness Center on top of the parking garage.

If I remember correctly, I took this from the roof of my building using a ridiculously long lens I rented for a vacation last year. I think it was a 500mm or 600mm lens to capture wildlife but took some urban jungle test shots to try it out.

Anyway, I’ve added this picture to the rotating images that are randomly chosen when the blog loads. I’m thinking of adding user submitted pictures of Hoboken; if you’re interested in letting me have your images of Hoboken rotate on the blog, let me know. Of course, every image that I add will receive its own post with proper credit and any images used will also get a visible watermark denoting who’s image it is.

The Scarlet Ending

So I woke up this morning to a tweet from a band called The Scarlet Ending. They’re playing at Maxwell’s tonight at 8pm. I don’t have any affiliation with them whatsoever but since they’re in an active tour of the NYC area right now – and they sent that tweet – I’d thought I’d help them out. I’d embed images or videos of their band but they didn’t make it possible (from what I can tell). UPDATE: They sent me a link to a great picture of the band. Thanks!

I like their sound although I can’t seem to figure out how to describe it. From my untrained ears, they sound a little country/folksy, a little dark, a little jazzy. a little angst filled, and a little sad. The lead singer’s voice is amazing, really. She sounds like Tori Amos & Evanescence’s lead singer Amy Lee. In fact, if you crossed the two, you might be able to describe the entire sound of the band. Again, I’m not a music expert so I recommend you listen to them yourself.

They seem to be a very mature group, though, and I hope it translates into some wider success for them. If you have time tonight, go check them out. And while you’re at it, check out the other shows at Maxwell’s – its one of my most favorite restaurants in all of Hoboken and New York City.
