Radio Rodan

Serious. Just like that bird. Me. I came out of the night.
So I decided to attempt some radio last night. I’ve been letting the music play low anyway as I drift in and out of consciousness. Plus, I just had to play the some new Yo La Tengo, just had [...]

Wings Are Tired

Flew in yesterday from the wedding of the century, and I’m still a little bit rough around the edges. Nothing says planner like setting your alarm clock the night before. Saved my butt I’ll say. So I’ll get some fabo pictures posted tonight hopefully and just close by saying that it was [...]

Follow Me

Summertime means serious road construction.
It’s better for everyone to do it at night. More humane. People are willing to wait longer; they can sit there and look at the stars, hang their hands out the windows, slouch and get some shut eye.
Workers aren’t pressured by the blazing hot sun. Just the isolating [...]

Missed Con/text/ions

Last night I got the following text message on my cell:
“SO IT WILL BE A
LITTLE BIT BEFORE
IM ON BUT U CAN
CALL ME IF U WANT
BEFORE I GET BACK”
Then this morning, well actually the noon hour, I get this from the same number:
“SLEEP GOOD
LASTNIGHT”
Hmm, what do I do in my sleep?

Rat Race

Fall is in the air. The wind has been mighty, strewing leaves everywhere. I find myself smiling as I was driving about in the afternoon. Light has turned more golden.

I bought some fun toys recently related to Halloween: behold the Dirty Rat! (I made you something to watch here) [...]

Monkey Patrol Radio

In a few hours I will be heading out to the hills and spinning some discs of various sizes and materials until sound comes out of them and everyone can hear them in the air right here 10pm to midnight PST.
xxooxxooxxooxxooxxooxxoo
Smog – Feather By Feather – Supper
Songs: Ohia – Love & Work – Axxes [...]

Fall Savings Card

Recently, our public radio station has shifted Democracy Now to air both in the morning and evening. Don’t get me wrong, I am an avid listener, but bursting into tears every morning before work is just not going to cut it.
Nothing was better than when I house sat awhile back for someone with [...]

Unagi

“Your mother laid her eggs near the equator. Anonymous sperm fertilized them to life. Nobody knows your Father. But you’re still a fantastic eel.”
From director Shohei Imamura, Eel surprised me with it’s quirky realism. Things are fucked up, passions run high and then aren’t met, punishment is the way [...]

The Far Great North

O faithful readers, I do not deserve your allegiance. No, no. I promised and update within a few days, and it’s been a week! I could overwhelm you with excuses, powerful persuasions that would bring you to your knees crying, yes! I understand! But instead let’s move on to the meat [...]
