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.

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...

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...

Garbage


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!

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...

Jakey shared some secrets with me today while he was on beer and I was on none. The only one of which I met let seep is that he has a set of hemorrhoids like puckered lips. I told you I'm a man of my word Mr. Morris...

JAPAN PT.2






About ten minutes after I woke up on the 2nd morning of our trip after completely tearing it up the night before (uh, sake juice boxes?!!?! Rad idea.) I felt the whole building swinging back and forth, although I wasn't sure it was not just my damaged equilibrium until I saw my 'gentlemans gown of sleeping' swinging back and forth on the wall. I completely freaked out. I turned on the TV to find out what was going on to see concerned looking newscasters saying god knows what and some very shaky footage plus a few pictures of some wine bottles that had fallen off a shelf somewhere and a map with lots of red in the middle. I didn't want to wake maggie and charlie in case they slept through it, and jane and morgen weren't answering their door (I was knocking on the wrong room).
Nobody on the street outside seemed particularily concerned. I didn't have a chance to speak english to anyone about it until I ran into Cara Lee in the lobby later that afternoon. Morgen's friend told me that night that they have earthquakes about twice a month.

JAPAN PT.1






Japan was the best place ever. Bottom line. I want to move there. I have never experienced anything so intense and energetic but so mellow at the same time. It's so clean too! But there is no garbage cans. Tons of hillarious Engrish (seriously, can the whole country not find a single person that speaks decent english to assist them in their sign-making, product descriptions etc.?) Japanese people are the nicest people EVER too. God I want to go back right now...

Confusing pictures from my life Pt.3






This is a very disappointing post to leave you with before I leave for Japan; which should make for a very interesting post when I get back. Lates!!

TEEN VOGUE PHOTO SHOOT!!



Teen Vogue had a photo shoot at our house last week. And why shouldn't they? We often have 17 yr old models 'kicking it' at our 'crib'. At least Tim's falcon got some use.

Time for a new post!

Here's some sad Kermit for you...

I'm stoked to see this music happen. She's like a black Siouxsie Sioux in this song, and on others she does the whole new-hip-hop-dub thing much better than her contemporaries (read M.I.A.)

Absolute paid for this

I'm predicting a resurgence of early 90's industrial. Of course, this has already started to happen to some degree. This time with more high fashion, less imagery of gratuitous violence and less racism, same amount of gay.

Peter Gabriel performing a pre-Phil Collins Genesis song post Genesis. Gabriel making his pre-80's transistion not-so-smoothly while performing 70's prog with a cock rock backing band. Very confusing...

bury the kombucha momma





I finally got around to removing a failed batch of kombucha I made several months ago. I didn't feel right about just throwing it away, so I gave it a proper buriel. Let's see what kind of biological nightmare ensues...

I remember completely flipping out to this scene from this powell video when I was a kid. The way it was shot, this Mc rad song (see Chuck Treece), I got chills watching it again...

Mitch and I don't have jobs. It's like when I was in grade school and my friend up the street and I had chicken pox at the same time.

French Fries!



We are playing with this french disco girl Yelle in seattle at the end of the month. we kept saying no to the show and they kept offering us more money...

Two Faced



A baby girl was born in a small village in India with two faces. She is healthy and does not require surgery. She drinks from the teat from both mouths, smells from both lil' nose-eez, and all for eyes blink at the same time. The best part about the AP article was how they matter-of-factly stated "...she is doing well, and is being worshipped as the reincarnation of a Hindu goddess".
