New! STEAMING HOT rehearsal take on HIGGINS’ classic Charly. Rock and Roll Revue this Saturday @littlefieldnyc
“Sat Jan 28, Littlefield, Brooklyn, NY You will see Wilbury Night emerge, one time only, as a party thrown by people who believe in the Wilbury spirit, who prefer to play music together rather than separately, and who want you to join in. The January air is cold. Be at Littlefield in Brooklyn, together with your best friends and your coolest family members on this one night, conveniently a Saturday, the 28th of January to be exact, as we peer through the Wilbury prism into the heart of our loves for rock and roll music. Expect Benji Cossa, Higgins, Rocketship Park and the Unsacred Hearts to present a rich program built from their own reputable original catalogs and from the deep career catalogs of Lucky, Lefty, Otis, Nelson and Charlie T. Jr. This night will be warm and full of true love.”

Brian Kantor and his new bass drum at our DUMBO studio, Homeward Sound. We’re back at work on an album that began last winter and has been hibernating since. Good to have you back elusive, nameless and beautiful recordings!!! Don’t be a stranger.
KICKSTART ON SHOWTIME’S SHAMELESS years ago i made an awesome garagerock record with an awesome nyc band called KICKSTART and put it out in the early days of Serious Business. one of the jams from that album was just on Shameless (Showtime). Get the record.

from benji’s blog where he posts his songs and words
Benji Cossa: When Time Stopped
If I had a superpower I think it would be to manipulate time. Then again, I would probably go crazy. I think being being immortal, a vampire, someone who can stop time, etc would put someone on the fast track for disconnection, confusion, depression - it would be bad. I don’t think I would spend my time gaining the secrets of the universe. After a while, I most likely wouldn’t care anymore. Friends and family wouldn’t relate. They’d all be dead soon anyway. Why do you think Dracula lived in a run down old castle? He’s probably a real sad guy. I’m sure ghosts aren’t very happy blinking in and out of existence for eternity, either. Who cares if a ghost knows how to do a lot of things really well? What good is that to anyone? A time machine would be pretty cool, though. What was that movie with Eric Bana where his life is all out of sequence? He seemed to handle that all right. Maybe time manipulation is more suited to animals less social like hamsters. It would be cool to be a time traveling assassin.
open your heart and let the Hig in
