Greets from NYC

rhymeswithcusac · 06-29-2011, 04:55 PM

Heyyy everyone at YaHooka. Just stumbled across your forums and have spent the last seven hours or so here. Obviously, I have way too much time on my hands. I run an up and coming music blog with full downloads called RhymesWithCusack (hence the username, minus the k) and I invite you all with this shameless plug to visit (and bookmark us!) over at RhymesWithCusack: Lifesaving Music Recommendation & Reviews, Videos, MP3 Downloads, More….

Outside of RWC, I'm big on photography and Beat Generation authors. I'm studying culinary arts in Manhattan and am a Brooklyn native. Geez, this is starting to sound like a lame OkCupid profile. Anyway, hope I can contribute here and upload some musical gems to share.

And nice to meet you all...

Jump into the discussions, friend.

Are you native to NYC?

rhymeswithcusac · 06-30-2011, 06:37 AM

Yea, native New Yorker. I live in Williamsburg but can usually be spotted in Carroll Gardens, around Court Street. If I'm in Manhattan, it's LES.... Cool to have a neighbor, small world.

Welcome my friend. I was born in Flushing Queens, and now live a little over and hour north of Manhattan. I was 13 days from starting Culinary Arts at the CIA in Hyde Park, moved there and everything, but decided a life in the kitchen was not for me! good luck. I still do some catering gigs and some personal cooking jobs.

If I ever start a band... it's going to be "The Flushing Queens" for sure

IS that SERIOUSLY what the name of the town is called?

rhymeswithcusac · 06-30-2011, 08:03 AM

Working in the industry definitely isn't for everyone. I'm putting in my time now as a sous chef out in north NJ and the hours are tedious, the pay is minimal, and the majority of the work is unappreciated.

Seriously awesome to have a few people from the city here. I'm glad I joined up. I'm going to put up some music later this week and see how it goes. I do a playlist each month of independent singles from upcoming artists and I'm compiling July right now. Hope it goes over well.. plenty of nyc artists, a few from Brooklyn, already made the cut!

Love the review on the new Fleet Foxes. Yeah I was a line cook, then and sous chef for almost 2 years. I left a job making double and work an eighth. I now have the same job make 3 times as much and work 100 fold less. I miss it from time to time, but its the nostalgia kicking in, selective memory.
