Merrily, merrily

Battling complacency, I knew I wasn't going to miss the songs anytime soon. In an effort to extricate myself from deception, I made a hasty motion towards the door.

Dead Child

We've been trying to develop artwork and musical ideas. A whirlwind photo session generated a couple good snaps- one of which I promptly sent to David Yow. He disfigured our features and sent it back to me. I can't even think about it without laughing out loud!

Then we learned a new song, fisting our way through it suspiciously. Already we are alienating ourseves from every other band.

Again, I mention "Paradise"

He made a list of all the activites he's done in direct sunlight on the back of a detailed pen and ink he'd done as a teenager, under the influence of hallucinogens.

Nothing to see

What should be clear is getting lost in dialect. There was a time when he was my best man. Now he's just a stubborn asshole reaching for my wallet.

Roadburn

Touring is an ill-fitting suit.

Looking up

Can't complain about the way things are. Triple-stoked about the upcoming Dead Child CD on Touch & Go / Quarterstick Records. Everyday I go a little further into myself.

Reminders

Odds seem to repeat the same message. "You could have been a millionaire but you didn't like the consciousness- Wisely, you got the fuck out." No matter how broke I am I'll never regret that decision.

Quote of the day

"Can you tell from my body language that I'm farting?"

Surely

As sure as my tounge doth wag, I will make it home.

Setting up

Sorry, friends! Things have been so bananas for me I haven't had a chance to dial in. Thanks for your patience- I will make an effort to chime more consistently.
***
The Slint tour has been remarkable- thanks to everyone who came to the shows and supported us!

Kim's Wigs on 4th

Hang onto your hats- Slint leave on Thursday for Europe

Tweaked

I'm trying to regain my footing like some kind of clumsy astronaut.

Derby Day Blues

Although we responded quickly, our time together was limited to brief phone calls in between hallucinations of clear, perfect skies.

Alive and well

After an awesome solo tour of Europe, I'm alive and well and living in Louisville KY-- rehearsing with SLINT. Don't believe those nasty rumours! Word!

Almost home

Just got back to JFK, currently waiting for my connecting flight back home. Dirty 3 ATP still fresh on me, I want to bathe in pizza sauce. More details to follow.

View from a car crash

Saw the empty Krogers display boxes soaking up rain. Broken and empty, I thought about how unnoticeable they were in the store, overflowing with food. I'm sure I picked through one of them at least once.

Wish for what's not-wrong

He sat in his garage on a folding chair, cursing the blazing sun. The following morning he walked through snow flurries in a pair of flip-flops.

We jam econo

Watched the Minutemen documentary last night-- pretty effin awesome. Saw Idiocracy before that and laughed for days after.

Notes from the Right

Typical Men's room graffiti in Midwestern America.
