July 2nd + 3rd photos by Ford

My friend Ford Crispino---Sagittarius and drummer extraordinaire---took a plethora of super cool photographs on July 2nd and 3rd (i.e. Paris & Rie's rooftop potluck/show + Mountair in my garage). There's some photos of my Tujunga set on the roof in there somewhere, along with various shots of other artists performing on those dates: Air Surgeon, Cary Allison, Coup Pigeons, Blue Mako, Bande a part, and maybe more. If you know me in the slightest, you ought to know I'm a fervent advocate for documentation of all artistic happenings, so hats off to Ford. The more of this we can get, the better.

new song.

I finished a song the other day. It doesn't have a finalized title yet. I've changed the title so many times over the years. It's technically a song I started writing back in 2006, but heavily edited and with lots of appended parts. (This version will most likely be the final, definitive version.) As always, songs come very slowly to me.

(It's probably kind of sad that I feel the completion of a song is actually newsworthy. But that's where I'm at.)

No major news. No real plans for future shows. No intentions of recording. I really don't know what I'm doing.

Other than the new poetry chapbook that I hope to have out by summer's end, I'm kind of directionless right now. I'll figure something out.
