alien symptom

Hello ppl. Sorry no blahg for the last few days. Blogspot difficulties. So u would think that since it's been awhile, i MIGHT have something worthwhile to say, but nooooooo. Except our new futon stinks. Kevin Teare told me he ordered one from stinkyfuton.com and it stunk too. Oh well, nobody but the occasional touring musician will be sleeping on it; he/she/it will probably be too drunk to notice.

No tour or shows or anything...2busy looking for my usb thingy.

black angel's dress song

and speaking of the velvet underground, did u know there's now a band called the underground velvets? check them out at whyspace, listen to their cool authentic and heartfelt style.

and speaking of cool sounds, last night in the car, bff rich played alice coltrane on his phone---the sound was surprisingly good, better than the car stereo. u could hear so much detail but it wasnt too toppy. did u ever think your phone could b your sound system? hey i just had a (probably crappy) idea for an album: all songs about phones. CALL ME by blondie and al green, 6345789 by wilson pickett(?), CALL YOU by candymachine, YOU DIDNT TRY TO CALL ME by frank zappa, CALLING ALL OCCUPANTS OF INTERPLANETARY CRAFT by the carpenters, oh, and another candymachine song, SPACE ("couldnt find your number, couldnt find your number baby"), LONELY GUY by mx80("I dont really have a phone but i sit where the phone would be if i had a phone, i wish you'd call me up, and say 'hi, hello, it's me'. and then, when u dont call..."), hmmm, what else? if cake radio were sitting here right now, i bet he could rattle off dozens of other titles. cake, where u at? :-) oh yeah DONT CALL US CHILD WE'LL CALL YOU. who did that song? 2lazy2google. don ciccone and tommy neale, i know u r both sitting there yelling out titles...why u dont hit my comment button instead???? :-)

i dream of iggy

sweet dreams r made of these who am i 2 fuckin' disagree booey? last night i had an on-going tableau of terrific times with the igster, doin' different things 2gether while he was in town for some shows/rehearsals. one of the funniest was, i was at a rehearsal, and the new drummer was, in my opinion, going too slow. i said "i know u r new and everything, but u r playing this song 2 slowly." then i pointed to a glass of beer that was sitting on an amplifier and said "the level of beer in this glass is where u r playing the tempo, which looks like around 130 beats-per-minute." i used a pencil to indicate higher up on the glass, and told him " u need to be playing it here, which is 152 bpm."

another sitch was (uh oh bff rich, dont read this part) we were sorta making out and some band members were hanging around and one of them said to iggy something like "she's cute but have u asked her how old she is?" and iggy made a "that's not nice" face at him. way 2 stick up 4 me homeboy! so that's what happened to me last night. how about u?

No tour or shows or anything...2busy putting on my running shoes.

"john cassavetes"? or maybe u'd like2hear hear herb alpert play trumpet on "lazy"? i love 2 remember the day herb came to the plant studio in sausalito where we were recording. he got set up in front of his mic, reached into his trumpet bag and pulled out the sheet music (which bff rich had sent him). on the pages he'd written notes and made little marks , and i realized that he'd been practicing our song at home and i just about BLEW UP! wayway back in the day, i'd had a huge crush on herb, he was so sharp. i had a poster of him above my bed! ha ha. years later he'd pay to make this cd. now THAT'S hot! at cdbaby.

golden hour(not shower)

Hello. I like seeing all the hanging wetsuits in my neighborhood. And speaking of surfers, this afternoon i saw a surfer heading out toward the waves,but he was standing up, using a long-handled paddle for balance. The handle was longer than a broomstick. And he was standing up straight, not in surfer stance with bent knees and arms out.
And speaking of the color orange, while blogging i'm having a pumpkin scone from Bovine Bakery in Pt. Reyes Station, and a very tall glass of hot ginger tea with rice milk, honey and black pepper. Hot and creamy. Oh yeah hell yeah.

So, if u want2ask me anything, now's the time and here's the place. Like, BFF Rich had a question about the movement of the moon and Earth. Maybe u have a question about john michael vincent.

And speaking of being drunk and naked, Brittney's bodguard says she was (drunk and) naked in front of her kids. Arent ppl sometimes naked in front of their kids? I didnt get the accusation.

Hello everybody. Why does summer ever have 2 end????????

No tour or shows or anything...2busy going to the beach.

stop children what's that sound

It's the sound of Sonic Boom landing in SF, and taking time off at the beach with A&R. Sonic was accompanied by the lovely Sam, and she and Sonic wore matching mocassins. I guess it's kinda twee for couples to wear matching stuff, but i always thought it was cute. BFF Rich wore his "leaf" Vans(not pictured), and those r my prison-issue sneaks. So if u r in San Fran today, check out SPECTRUM at the Polk Street Festival. The stage is on Polk on the same corner as the Hemlock.

No tour or shows or anything...2busy trying 2 decide what 2 do next.

flash-light

Hello. Not much time2blog this morning;on my way2 u know where. Hint:starts with a "Y".(No, not the YMCA, even tho it's fun 2 stay there).

And speaking of the Village People, george earth used2live across the street from victor(he was the one in the cop uniform) and it was not pretty. Poor victor never met a crack pipe he didnt like.

And speaking of george earth, watch this space for comix by george. Very funny in that sideways earthian way.

No tour or shows or anything...2busy recommending 20 Centimeters to my netflix pal Jenny.

roll me over in the clover

This turtle was saved by The Belle...The Belle of Evansville. :-)

Whoa, just red about the 8.2. e.q. I dont EVEN wanna know about THAT. Yikes. A&R were in sf during the 7.1 e.q. which was pretty gnarly. It took me awhile(2long actually) 2 get over it. I'd like2think i'd do better in the (gulp) next one.

No tour or shows or anything...2busy checking emergency supplies.

another black friday

Well, the Phil Spector jury began delibbs 2day. It's not looking too good for ol' Phil. I bet it doesnt take them as long as it took me to find this Etch A Sketch drawing of him. But i'm dedicated like that.

No tour or shows or anything...2busy admiring my new haircut. Gee i look cute. :-)

taken with her phone camera. nice job, pinky!

Or is it camera phone? Anyway, do u remember that jewelry that was made with butterfly wings? I'm glad that isnt done anymore, but i do wish i still had my butterfly-wing locket i had in grade-school;a sunset and palm tree were painted on top of the wings. Hey wait a minute...evidently this jewelry is still being made, but all the sites state that the wings come from "naturally expired butterflies." Gee i hope that's true.

No tour or shows or anything...2busy picking up an order at Kinko's. :-)

bike buddies

Do u live in rochester ny? If so, u may recognize these 2 beautiful ppl. Share the road with them!

No tour or shows or anything...2busy changing in to my yoga clothes. I wondered the other day...is yoga the new "being in a band"? U r either at class not thinking or worrying about real life, or u r on your way to, or coming back from, class. (Except there r no drunk smelly bandmates.) Ha ha. Bye.

i hab a code

And a big red nose. I got a head full of led oh what can i do with it? Could someone please make me a pot of gypsy cold-care tea? Thank u. I'd also like some nectarines stuffed with figs. If i still had some NightNurse, I'd take it. But, unless u use regularly, u cant just all of a sudden decide to take something. U have2stay in practice, otherwise it just feels weird and uncomfortable and u spend the whole time wondering "Why did i take this?" And, "How did i used2think this was fun?" But, like i was sayin', a little Nursie sounds pretty good. I guess I'll have to listen to the song instead. "I am the visitor, u r the host."

Hey ppl, it's your last summer holiday. And the days dwindle down, to a precious few. SepTEMber. NoVEMber. And like the great lou reed said "I wanna spend them witchu."

No tour or shows or anything...2busy nodding off. (I wish).

she's got legs

Hello. How r u? Got a friend request today from myself at myspace. How did THAT happen? Did i request 2b my own friend, and dont remember doing so? Whoa! That's just plain crazy.

Also got a request to send in comments/remarks 2 b included in someone's memoir, but ima havin' trouble remembering anything. This person said "for example, you could write about the time in LA that such and such happened", and shit, i couldnt remember that happening. What should i do? Anybody got any ideas? I guess i could write something really nuts, and then say to this person "WHAT? U dont remember that?" Like, I could say we played strip-poker together, or something like that.

Anyway, no tour or shows or anything...2busy watching BFF Rich trying to figure out how to use his new *****izer.
