I got into Jawbreaker in 1994 during my freshman year in college and didn't get a chance to see them before they broke up in 1996.

Danny lives down the street from me in the East Village. I met him back in October of 2004 when I was living out in San Francisco and a buddy told me I should go see his band. I arrived at the studio and found Danny busy...

After BBQ, a bunch of different people played music. And then after a few songs, the musicians invited kids and anyone else who wanted to play music up to join them. I wish every party had this. It's so weird that we mostly listen to recorded music at parties instead of make it.

While I was sitting there, two guys showed up with upright basses and started playing together. They were both using bows and making haunting, mournful, beautiful sounds and a man wandered over holding his newborn son and was holding him up into the sound. All while reading a book about learning to let go and get lost in life moment to moment. Call it the reason I live here.

Go! Jaden rocked it! I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure it was a Foo Fighters song.

If you look at this photo closely, you'll notice that Har Mar's treating some front-row "super fan" to the "ultimate" live experience . Haha.

...that's the marking for where he does a god damned NECK STAND. I would have been impressed by this alone, never mind that fact that HarMar was singing a song (and killing it) the whole time.

Dude, you gotta love the Fatty! Check him out here doing the old "I will shoot you with METAL!" move that he probably saw Billy Sheehan do in a Mr. Big DVD box set that he probably totally owns. Hahaha. SOOO GOOD!

When the band got back on stage, they called me up to sing! "Don't Stop" is pretty much one of the best karaoke songs of all time and one of the few times that I actually don't mind that fact that I was pretty much born with a woman's voice. Check out the singer all like "Holy shit, this guy's a eunuch!"

...the craziest, highest rock n' roll jump kick I've ever seen in my life. If only DLR (who lives less than a block away, incidentally) could've been there to see it - he would've wept with joy knowing his heir apparent lives. (This is so wallpaper worth - click here for the hi-res version).

Hahaha. The fact that Fatty and Grant are making eye contact make this "Back to the Future" moment even funnier.
