shout out jason spaceman

According to a reputable source, Jason Spaceman is planning an extra-special 3-month USA Spiritualized tour. The tour's concept is hilarious, but my lips are sealed (That's what SHE said). Here's a good interview, you'll like it.

gif for my gf

Did u ever think you'd see the words "face fuck" and "wombat" together?
Today's gif goes out to my superlative gf Heater.    I've already shown it to her, but she laughed so hard the first time i thought i'd try again because as u may know, 15 laffs is not enough.

push push push and pull

With a tip of the, er, hat, to VB. And what's that thing on my head?

look-alike

The guy in the cartoon looks alot like Bruce Anderson, dontcha think? And demanding access to the higher beings? That totally sounds like something Bruce would say.
And speaking of higher beings where the hell have i been?  I honestly dont recall. Why it seems like only yesterday that...hmmmm.  Weird.  Annnnyway,  it may well be that things r going even faster than i previously thought.
No tour or shows or anything...2busy learning a new song.

headshot steve albini

I like the title of this cool jpeg of Steve, "Headshot Steve Albini".  Pretty cool. Anyway, it's that time of year when i make a feeble attempt to boost my SEO by mentioning Steve's name. It was him's birthday yesterday.
Is he cute or what?  This is one of my favorite Albini pics. So damn cute. 
Happy Birthday Steve. Flow on.
No tour or shows or anything...2busy catching up on some Simpsons episodes.

I'm always there in my mind, traveling up and down the coast. Especially right b4 falling asleep.
Oh jeez, what the fooking hell is this???

skater's gonna skate

Skated around in the empty parking lots east of Bridgeway this afternoon.  You've kinda peaked by the time u get the skates and all the safety gear on. You got your knee pads, your elbow pads, your wrist guards, the helmet, it takes a while to strap it all on. (That's what SHE said).  Came home flopped on the sofa and listened to POCKET KINGS by Ted Heller, excellent writer.  And excellent  narration by Ted Dixon.  Highly recommended.
And speaking of knees, how YOU doin'?

fogday afternoon

The quote from Mark Twain about the warmest winter he ever experienced was a summer he spent in San Francisco is totes accurate. If u r planning to visit, better bring your winter coat. Or wait until September. By then the fog has skeedaddled.  The picture above was taken on a relatively clear day.  If it was a movie, you'd see the fog rushing down the hillsides, like water pouring out of a teakettle.  It's kind of hard to believe when u see it happening, it looks like some kind of cgi special effects.  Hey!  No links!

tower of power

When i moved to Sam Framcisco, the first job i applied for and got was at Tower Records. I loved my boss, Stan Goman, right away. Cute, smart and funny, there was nothing not to like.
When record salesmen would come in the store to check on their records he'd tell them, "Oh yeah. That one started off slow and then tapered off."  Or, "it shipped gold and returned platinum."
It was a glam place to be and i learned alot about, well, the store's nickname was Tower Drugs, let's leave it at that.
When opera stars were in town they'd come into the store and there would be a big party in the back room.  Being in SF, our store sold a ton of opera so the singers always made time to stop by when they were in town.
Years later, when White Courtesy Phone came out, Stan gave me "a board" on the outside of the store.  All the top-selling albums of the day were advertised like that,  with these huge hand-painted depictions of the album covers.   U could see them from your car as u drove by.  It was exciting to get the board.  It was right on the corner of Columbus Avenue and Bay Street in North Beach.
Here's what Stan is up to these days. And there's a movie out or about to come out.
