MLIW news:

Today's Rythm Den fest got cancelled which is the biggest bum out in the history of this planet. I was looking forward to finally share the stage with Agnostic Front but sadly it didn't happen.
Also, the New York and Philadelphia show got cancelled but new shows are being booked as we speak. any info on that I'll post on here and other people will post it all over the world wide web. keep looking out.

We're enjoying this unexpected day off in a holiday inn in Poughkeepsie with a couple beers and a movie. Tyler is beating everybody's ass in poker in the lobby, don't go down there.

update: I got served a great meal by a flock of hot waitresses at red robins. Edward 40hands went down while I was gone. we went to a grocerystore too! right now Big Bucks is killing Young Shooter in dice. I shaved my head, I'm bald now. We found Chris wondering by the side of the road. I hope this day never ends.

Music and Words

Been listening to:
Van Dyke Parks - Song Cycle (why did nobody ever tell me how awesome this record is? thanks a bunch world!)
The Twilight Singers - A stitch In Time (I love this band to death, every record is so good it makes me afraid of picking up any instrument)
Spank Rock - Yoyoyoyo (finally gotten round to this after it was recommended to me a million times, it's awesome! a great hiphop/ idm mix)
The Hold Steady - Boy and Girls in America (the soon to be biggest band on the planet)
Joanna Newsom - Ys (produced by Steve Albini, Mixed by Jim O'Rourke and arranged by Van Dyke Parks, this girl is unbelievable)
Guillemots - Through the window pane (I fall asleep to this)
Lindstrom - It's a feedelity affair (2006 has been an awesome year for club music and I'll rank this record second to all the Ed Banger stuff that came out this year)
Uffie - everything (boys call Uffie when they feel freaky hot)

New awesome music is coming out so fast I can no longer keep up. these final couple months of 2006 make this a year to remember.

Been reading:
Henry James - Portrait of a lady
Jonathan Swift - Gulliver's Travel's
Homer - Odyssee

Who has ever read anything by Thomas Pynchon? The more I find out about that guy the more curious I get. He seems such a weirdo but also something I would be totally into... any info is welcome.

Been watching:
Deadwood
I started watching The Devil and Daniel Johston (finally!!) but halfway through the disc gave up. Anyway who could burn me this?
I watched Brick the other day and I think I'm in love with Nora Zehetner now.
next up are Pan's Labyrinth and Darwin's Nightmare.

Mom: I just cut my hair, I look like a decent young man again.

World, get into it:

New tattoo

A couple days ago we did a show at the inkspot in Jackson, Mississippi (where honkey tonk women was written!). Good times and after the show they pulled out the tattoogun and this is what I got.
The guys at the inkspot are great and should you ever find yourself in that area you should defenitly stop by there.

I can not...

...stop listening to Uffie.

Florida's wildlife

This morning Josh and me went for a minihike to take a look at some lagoon, and 30 seconds in we almost stepped on a cottonmouth snake. the creature was vicious and out to harm us with it's ferocious speed and razorsharp fangs. It's poison would have killed us within second. We escaped death by running like little girls.
