Its so sad that its true but it is. I mean, me and more than a few friends have had first dates where the date pulls out a crack pipe like its nothing, and Chloe really is everywhere and I have had photos with me, moby, and amanda lapore (who was like my co-godmother when I moved here at 19, but Sophia was more so).

This really depressed me Scott. I had to turn it off half-way because it was hitting too close to home.

And here I thought X-1 was your pseudonym, Greg.

I've seen Chloe JUST ONCE but it was on a train to Connecticut so I guess it doesn't count.

yeah i had that problem too... but this is what i did:

clicked on the link, waited for it to load.

then i saved it on my computer (8KB), opened it in quicktime and then i could hear it...

i then saved the file as ".wav", opened it in itunes and there i converted the ".wav" as an mp3....

you're concerned about his credibility? isn't this song about people who worry about other peoples credability.

cred check: i was with brian the night they recorded this song about a year ago and half ago. maybe longer. to put the song in perspective it was about the time when it seemed like every new band you heard about was from new york and a lot of our friends were moving there. it still cracks me up

Dear gang of one,

Thank you so much for offering to send me a copy but my best friend did pass away 2 days ago, I just got back from his funeral tonight. I wish I could have read your post earlier, I know he would have enjoyed hearing this song again. Your kindness is very much appreciated. I would still love to have a copy to remember his joy of hearing this song. Not sure if this is proper, but right now I really don't care. My e-mail is kmullins3@yahoo.com. Please contact me if you can.

New York is So COol.

The Song was recorded by Brian O'Keefe and I believe Bryce from Die Princess Die under the name X-1.
Brian lives in SEattle, and Bryce lives in L.A. I've met Brian before, he's a cool guy. Was in a band called Pink Martini - Octavius

Nice to see people still dig this little song we made in the afternoon of Friday the 13th of June 2003 stoned and drunk and unemployed! We were sitting around and I was reading these articles about all the hyped bands from NYC at the time and suggested we make a song on the spot. Ryan Mcbride recorded and did beats and Chris Phillips played keyboard and effects whilst I talked smack over the tune. It was recorded live in one take and most of it I don't even remember freestyling. The songs references are from a month long visit/bender I took to NYC that previous fall 2002. Its funny cause both of us had our own music projects and we kind of forgot about the song for a good year until 103.1 in Los Angeles started playin it a good ten times a day. Arguments came up and egos clashed about how to handle what was never really a real project in the sense that the three of us had so called 'real bands' at the time. Thus it was never released but has grown into its own on this here inner web. Friends have told me they have heard it all over the world which is pretty funny. I hope people get some of the seriousness of the song like the calling out of movie star djs and other corny elements of celeb media garbage. Some peoples reactions have been so ridiculous but I guess they dont get that I am clowning them so what can you do? Any way I live in Seattle and work at an architect firm and quit music for a bit but we shall see what the future holds. Cheers to everyone who is about ruffling the feathers of the peacocks of life - B
p.s. I am still waiting for some kid out there to make a youtube video or a remix, please feel free to!
