Shows have still been great, border patrole planted cocaine on the bus, Austin was incredible last night, Stubbs was sold out, Mike made out with Drew Barrymore but can't remember it, Ellen Paige is very tiny, I passed out early and the dudesbeat the shit out of eachother and tried to flip over a cop car and piled on my dead body. Check the rhinestone neckbrace for better pics...

Two shows at the henry fonda theater in LA. Same shit,smog zone, fake boobs,shallowness, consumerism at it's pinnacle. Nice weather though. We started to go to the beach and realized we didn't have time, so we went to melrose. First show was pretty good, partied with heigez, I don't remember what we did after, oh yeah, nevermind. Second night, was able to see more tight friends. Hello to Natasha, hello to Rynne. Went to Rynne's boyfriends Danny from Tools house in the hollywood hills complete with guest house, exotic animals, and a flat-screen the size of a minivan. Good times.

cccccccrrraaazzzzzyyyyy ttttiiiiiimmmmeeeeessssss

Whole lotta people staring blankly at us at the otherwise pleasent Fillmore in SF followed by mass crazy times with Dave H, Jonnie and "friends". So much peeing and beer throwing and near fights in such a short period of time. You need to work quickly between 12:30 and 2:30. I got punched in the face for absolutely no reason by this girl. I'm contemplating weather I want to post a picture of her dirty little hoo-ha peeing on a motorcycle. Any thoughts my peeps?

Shows are still great, chilled out in redding yesterday. The desert dried up most of my cold. Sorry to anyone I couldn't hang out with on the one day that I was in town, but we had to play a show, then go to that awful afterparty(did anyone else get beat up by those bouncers besides the shaky hands dudes, trevor the organizer of MFNW, and the mayor sam adams??? those guys need to keep that party SECURE! ) then be back to the bus by 4am to continue to not sleep my way down to redding. its my career.

Here are some relatively boring picks from some really awesome shows on the Ratatat-Panther-Erock tour. I need a real camera. We are stoked and super grateful that these dudes brought us with them on the bus, which is pretty much the only way you could get me to go on another fucking US tour these days. The shows have been out of control, most recently with Salt Lake last night. Mormons love to party I guess...

RatatatPanthErock tour day one...

Kicked off by a terrifying, turbulant sleepless red eye into NY, hang out at Welkers again(she is so sick of us) and the honkiest bar in crown heights. Met up at the tour bus at 6am the next morning, sort of slept, show was sold out in Pittsburg.

buy our shit

Confusing pictures from my life pt.4

jonnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I used to think that John Lydon was just an old dickhead trying as hard as he can to muster some "punk" vibes on a continuing basis until I read this on brooklyn vegan...

The Sex Pistols demanded a fence be erected around their toilet at a music festival last weekend. The punk rockers reportedly didn't want to share their private toilet and asked for a high security barrier to keep people out at Scotland's Live at Loch Lomond festival. Frontman John Lydon - also known as Johnny Rotten - was also said to be incensed when he realised electro band Autokratz were being driven around the event in a better car than his band, and demanded the vehicles were switched. Autokratz singer David Cox told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "The Sex Pistols had two Land Rovers to ferry them around the site but Johnny seemed to prefer our car.
"So he made us take all our equipment out so he could travel 40 metres in it."

Once the switch had been completed, John allegedly shouted: "Autokratz, as we have taken your Auto you are now just Kratz."...

nothing better in the world...

Possibly the best "huh?" expression I have ever seen...

Good news

W Bush

I don't know what to think of this yet. I'm interested to see how they are going to handle 9/11. My concern would be that if they paint him in any kind of positive light via showing his "humanity". Either way, no matter what Oliver Stone could possibly do in Hollywood is going to be a positive portrayal compared to how the shit really went down...

Old Skull

80's Wisconsin child punk band, performing their hit single "homeless". I hate you Ronald Reagan...

If your prices haven't gone up in 25 years (not even adjusted for inflation), what does that say about the quality of the shit you sell, or who is getting exploited in the process. It may seem like a petty thing to rant about in this day and age, but it hits close to home.
A friend of a friend bought an IKEA table for his apartment that was, as it turned out, infested with a strange bug. The bugs, likely from the third world country that manufactures their stuff, soon took over his Manhattan apartment. Several exterminators came out and tried to get rid of the bugs and had no luck. The poor guy finally had to move out of the apartment and sued IKEA. But hey- affordable mod design!

INTERWEB ARTSHOW! : Dave H

Not only can the dude fix anything, find the weirdest places to call a bedroom, and remain cut like a stallion on a diet of burritos and burgers, he can paint too! Who knew...
