Listening, for the fourth time in the last couple of days to Roxy Music’s Manifesto. For years I’ve turned to the lush keening of “Dance Away”, but right now I want to kep hearing “Trash” and “My Little Girl” if only to mark the distance between my mod and their new wave flourishes. The guitar… Continue Reading

Rip rig and panic
SIIGS means Self Induced Information Gluttony Syndrome. I just made that acronym up. And the syndrome too. But I’ve been living it for a while, dosing myself with nuggets of mostly distracting information via my phone and computers. My concentration has been slipping and after a few hours in the torrent of news snippets, I… Continue Reading

More Monroe…
I’ve made my peace with my current camera. Even though I leave it on automatic way too much, and even though it’s a bit to big and serious looking, I’ve become comfortable with hauling it out and just shooting with it, as well as using the kit lens. Here’s another shot of Monroe the Great… Continue Reading
Little Shuffle…
Spent a little time messing around with Aviary’s Roc – an online sample editor and came up with this: Little Shuffle.egg on Aviary.

Here’s my pal Chris Cochrane playing a bunch of songs at Dixon Place last night. He did great. I love where his guitar playing is going. The audience included a hodge-podge of people that I’ve known for decades. I remarked that it was the sort of scene that would get scoffed at in a movie,… Continue Reading
Oh, Yoko

What can I say about the show? First of all it was Yoko-Fucking-Ono, so really that should be good… Continue Reading
Please may I have another twenty?
This morning’s dream involved Dennis Cooper telling me about the fantastic rents he was getting from a tenant on some Los Angeles industrial space. Yesterday I stopped in at an art opening in Chinatown, too early to see D, but in time to feel hemmed in by the crowd, and thus shy. In a way,… Continue Reading
Can I even tell you what I’ve been doing?

The big E’s inside of you and me…
I know it’s wrong to question good fortune, so I won’t. For some reason Amazon is giving away MP3s of just about all of Mojo Nixon’s music. Yep he could easily be classed an ’80′s one hit wonder, but there’s something great about all of his crackpot bitter rants that make this a very good… Continue Reading
