Reblog from Fishfantasy

Yup. so these days my main blog is fish fantasy. That is, it's my most popular blog. I don't have any plans to continue updating my blogger here or my livejournal. However, you never know. This is the 10 year anniversary of my livejournal, and I had intended on making a book to highlight all the ups and downs, but in retrospect, it was mostly downs and a lot of fights with my friends and heart-ache. Things are smooth sailing these days so here's to your future!

Jay on Facebook Yup. The old facebook slash sharpster7. I feel like I live on facebook these days, but unlike most people who get nothing done and waste time on the site, I have completed a staggering amount of work with facebook helping assist me.

Fish Fantasy my most popular blog. A mess of pop culture, tattoos videos and music.

PuppyFuk To commemorate the 10 year anniversary of when I got serious about making and recording music, I put a vanity label (named after impy's fabulous suggestion) up on Last FM to allow you to stream and download all of my albums for free.

Fish Fantasy Interviews I moonlight as a wannabe rock journalist. I also interview artists, jewelry makers, various other people of interest. Basically anyone who's got a story to tell.

the JSE Official. The home of NYC based psychedelic, lo-fi, folk-rock, experimental, gothy, classic rock, shoegaze, pop act- the JSE

Smokin' Joe Haines: Bass Player extraordinaire Joe is amazing. Missy told me he was the most talented person she knew about a decade ago and I didn't believe her. I heard his recordings with Telly, still wasn't sold. We played a show @ Trash Bar, which I videotaped, and I still doubted the extraordinary skill. Then I was about to master the JSE album as is- (w me playing bass on most of it) and this motherfucker recorded nearly 20 bass tracks to my music in about 72 hours. As sensitive and jealous as I may be to see him playing with other people I know, I know it's the right thing to do. He claims he special guests with so many bands because there's no good bass players in his neck of the woods on (way the fuck out) Long Island. Still, he totally turned a good record into a great one. If you need a bass player, I'd hit him up.


Blood Brothers We're (the JSE) giving away our 2010 Extended EP for free. Download here with one click.

OOOPSWA is a music blog. Updated several times a week. OOOPSWA stands for
'often ogling other peoples songs without asking' so please don't report me to the internet police OK?

Shane O'Connor Recording Musician, Engineer and Producer extraordinaire. Brainchild behind Indie Rock Supergroup Empire Waves. Shane recorded the False Alarms EP when I was still in the band. You know, before Ethan went crazy again and fired us all... Again.

Triple J Sharp- My personal blog and ramblings with an inexplicable bent on interior design and bookshelves. if you're not my friend you have no business being here.

Michael Jackson Lives I love Michael Jackson. I really do. Everything about him. His music, his fagginess. His freaky photographs. The odd misdirected covers and experiments people make of his music. It's all here, on my Michael Jackson blog. I accept submissions.

ABTA.tumblr.com all things a black tie affair. Melodramatic Radio-Friendly Goth-Grunge from NYC. Sharpster7 all the way.

the Sketchbooks of Jay Sharp Before I started all of this musical bullshit I was a visual artist. I usually have one of those little black books with me. I will draw in it from time to time.

Songs in the Key of Jay Sharp I went up to South Hadley to work on a acoustic album the winter of 2009/2010. It spun way out of hand. (over 40 songs) I put updates here as they become available. I may release a series of EP instead.

Shit Prince Says When Prince Said the Internet was over, my friend Phil said "I should make a site just to have all the wacky shit prince says." I beat him to it.

the Pretentious Pretenses. One of my first official band sites. I had to start this since My Space inexplicably deleted my profile. You don't get the fame and fortune without making a few enemies along the way. ALL THINGS regarding your favorite ironic noise rock act- the PP!

the Highway Gimps My absolute Favorite Band who isn't the Smashing Pumpkins. They seem like they might implode at any minute and that makes them even more enjoyable to watch.

SHC NYC all things Second Hand Coke. Biographical Rock Music. Arty. Honest.
Raw. Album no. 1 about the life of E-Dittlez Album no.2 all about Jaime Hernandez. Is this a joke? is this real? You decide.

Flaming June Productions Natalia McCarty's Blog. An aspiring actress and musician, Natalia's blog has a heavy (har har) lean on plus-sized models and fashion. She is also my best friend, half of the Love Muffins and the face of the JSE (aka the Virgin Whore- album and site coming soon!)

the LoveMuffins (official) this is Jay + Nat acoustic.

Ink Inc. My tattoo blog! I don't have any (which is now like, the new tattoo) but I like to look! (NSFW as it often features homoerotic and heterosexual images of naked men and women)

My X Rated Blog Everyone loves porn! The internet was invented for porn. This site depicts models who are 18 and older (though usually 21+, I don't like em that young) Clearly Not Safe For Work. PS- I am gay so you will find gay porn here.
