Brandon hasn’t popped up his photo-happy head in a while, but that doesn’t mean he’s not up to his usual antics. Brandon’s still chronicling his adventures in hitting up hot local bars and posh restaurants, and this time he’s even snuck in a moment to check out a cover band. Yep, you read that right, but he swears this cover band is different because it brings out “young lovers.” Is Brandon getting sappy? Hardly — the band also brings out models and other pretty ladies.
Good day Spin.com-ers, good day! I’ve recently recovered my camera from a tremendous fall, but thanks to the swift repairmen at the Canon headquarters, (gotta give credit where credit is due — they fixed my camera for $15!) I am back in business. Tonight begins during a break from a photo shoot I’m conducting.
The Bowery! Spirits, exotic beers, and very tasty cuisine.

They bring out the young lovers.
Young models.
This girl…

It’s the Spazmatics and their exhaustive set of every song written during the Cold War decade — all performed with suspicious accuracy.
The band personally thank each girl for coming.
They seem to be extremely supportive of their fans.
But it occurs to me that these guys aren’t really in it for the science.
May the farse be with you! Goodnight Mr. Helmet Guy! It is time for me to go home and tinker with the four-track tape recorder I found at Goodwill this afternoon.
I walk past the local gas station and head home. Until next time!
