This is rock n roll, you're not a jazz band!

About Me


My name's Chris Brunelle.
Paul Rondeau and I recently made a video for the wonderful El Jezel .
I used to play with the group Mo Matching Drapes .
After that, I played guitar in the band aldenbarton .
I'm really happy about the people in my life. Their all really quality folks.
Lately, I can't stop listening to The New Pornographers. They're really good.
I love Queens and the rest of this city but do miss green things and clean air sometime.
My girlfriend , cat , and apartment are major sources of happiness in my life. Without them, I might be kind of depressed.
I'm looking for people to play tennis with who know what they're doing.
I review albums for Impose Magazine .

I really like keeping in touch with old friends from every phase of my life. Let's keep in touch. I sincerely love hearing what you are up to.

Chock full of good things and coolness

Ahh blogging, how I've missed thee. So I'm no longer unemployed. That's good. I'm sort of a free-lancer now, too, which I always thought was cool. The whole not-having-a-permanent-boss thing adds ...

Friday Night

I'm home slightly drunk, listening to Tom Waits, and applying for jobs online at Columbia University. This all somehow feels poetic. Probably because of the wine. Trader Joe's is awesome. They sell...
