Went to FANIME in San Jose this Sat. Lots of cool costumes. Don’t know all the characters. If you can help I.D. them that would be great.


mariosflamingwhiskers:

so far the first grateful dead album is p good

it definitely suffers from that 60’s, “wow we can mix in stereo!??!?! pan! pan! pan right now! those drums!?!? pan them! that bass!?!? uhhhh HARD RIGHT!” thing though

That is the best part of those old albums, if you are a musician. On the old Cream records you can turn down the right channel and play the Bass parts while jamming with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker, or turn down the left channel and play guitar with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker.  Really fun. Your screwed if you are a drummer, sorry.

Went to “Tourettes Without Regrets” at the Metro in Oakland.  Fun show. Very weird (and I’ve seen a lot of weird shit!) the high-light was George Watsky.


A Calamity Diverted

k-erouac:

The throbbing pain of migraines - alleviated.

The collaboration of pointless voices - diminished.

The temptation of hedonistic indulgences  - acquiesced. 

A calamity - diverted.

Four teenagers stuck 

between adolescence and adulthood

sat in a circle of haze contemplating 

the world around them.

Encompassed by three pairs of kaleidoscope-like eyes

filled with acceptance and determination,

searching for truth and nothing less,

I, at last, felt at home.

the thing about maxton’s mashups is that they are great and brilliant and i’ll recognise like half the songs and then months later i’ll be listening to an album for the first time and a new track will start and then i’ll be like WAIT! MAXTON USED THIS! YOU CLEVER SOD! and then i’m waiting for all the other songs to come in because that’s just how i think the song should go

“Clever sod?”  I think of Maxton more of a clever wanker…but let’s not parse words.

Went to visit Clayton Bailey at his art gallery in Crockett. He makes cool metal robots and cermanic sculptures.  One of the ceramics looks likle the baby in the cult film Eraserhead (1977). It just so happens Charlotte Stewart was there. She was the mother of the “baby” in the film. I heard her say “my baby” and I started talking to her. (Turns out I was aquainted with her brother Stewart all these years.) I got a photo of her and I with the “Eraserhead baby.”


My son’s band, Back Door Bang, played at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco last night.

The DNA Lounge is a really great venue for up and coming bands. Great atmosphere.

It’s been a  while since I’ve seen this so I thought I’d share it. Some of you have seen it before I suppose!  I’m really interested in North Korea…the hermit kngdom…what a wacky place.


If I wore clothes like this I’d hide my face too!
