You may have heard tell about how a couple months back I gave Aesop Rock all the constituent parts of the song "Lovecraft in Brooklyn" and told him "go nuts, why don't you?" It is with great pleasure that I present to you Aesop's completely great from-the-ground-up remix and an accompanying video from the truly awesome Sketch Theatre.

What can a guy say when he gets to work with such rad people? I live a charmed life and I am grateful for it. Enjoy!

So, this next weekend are two New York appearances: the AIDS Walk benefit in Fort Greene, and a reading at Housing Works. I hope to see a lot of you there.

The AIDS walk benefit will be a solo show, my first in NY in a while. I have all week to practice, so I thought I might invite people to stop by the forums and make some suggestions as to what I might play. Obviously I'll be playing plenty of the songs I often play, too, but with a solo show, there's all kinds of room for other stuff. Please do note that I'm saying "suggestions," not "requests" - I'm not promising to get to any of them, but I would be interested in hearing what people would like to hear played solo and intimate-style. I thought I'd make a space for people who plan to be at the show to tell me as much. See you there!
