In other Brooklyn news, here’s what’s happening:

We’ve been frequenting this cart for awhile now. It’s on the southwest corner of 46th & 6th. The second cart in.. I can’t vouch for the first one. Pictured above is a Chennai Roll and a King Koti Roll (two for $4). The guys who work there are also really nice–a bit less frantic (and definitely cheaper) than the Kwik Meal dudes.

A few words with the owner of the cart:

Maybe I’m out of the loop. I’ve been using Firefox for the past few years, but lately it’s just been updating constantly and doing other weird shit that frustrates me. I talked to a few of my nerd friends about the State of Browsers Today. Am I behind the times? Are you?

Ian Meyer, 28, Systems Administrator, Yahoo! Inc./Hip-Hop Partyographer

Meatloafing: any thoughts on all the recent firefox updates? how it keeps updating the shit out of itself
Ian: i don’t use firefox
Meatloafing: do you use safari 3?
Ian: yeah
Meatloafing: so does ben. hmm. but you must use ff sometimes..
Ian: not really. no reason
Meatloafing: ok
Ian: “What’s the point of Firefox when you have Safari 3?”
Meatloafing: ok, noted
Ian: oh wait–safari 3 comes with leopard, so just upgrade.
Meatloafing: rite, i might
Meatloafing: should i? hrm
Ian: no, don’t “might.” do it. it’s 500% worth it. i’ve been using it for awhile now. it’s great.

PLUS: 2 more interviews w/ Ben R. & Adam K.!

(more…)

We’ve heard about the beards, the found-object instruments, and the fancy new record label. But Parts & Labor are also just dorks who enjoy drunken video chatting at 3 a.m. In the midst of a European tour, BJ Warshaw, the sometimes-spokesperson for P&L—“Brooklyn’s Sweethearts”—sat down (kind of) for an impromptu IM-terview.

9:36 PM
BJ: I’m playing Wii in England. Dan says hi.
Mollie: Hello. tell him I saw the pic of him on the nudist vacation
BJ: He says, “augh!”
BJ: We’re gonna kill zombies now.
Mollie: I want to interview you for meatloafing
BJ: Resident Evil IV is totally calling.
BJ: This is the interview. Now. Start. Go. Ask.
