Blusher

A new tune I wrote today. I feel a little bad about it though. I missed seeing Sex God (Baron Shame) and No One and the Sombodies play at wespac. I drank beers with them instead and played my first ever game of guitarmageddon.

Until the evening ends
the fish said to the oyster in the bay
We'll dance and laugh and kiss
and both feel blessed that we are still alive
When the fishermen wake up
The skittish nature of our scaly friend
will make those hours crouch to minutes
and the waiting game begins
dare to leave the cave
stay by your bride
nets will descend to catch them both, but on their own
then bite the line

A menace maybe, more than likely
dreams are waking to walk about
put them back to bed and crawl ashore
Only a dream, only in dreams
Blushing, puffer fish.

Growing all the time
glowing like a star inside the brine
'I will swallow you'
The last thing she heard before she died

The cookpot bubbled over
the people couldn't watch
the fish had lept from ocean
to occupy their plates and thoughts
The oyster cooked to flame
and when they all were full
a phoenix rose, and took her flight with all his bones

Only a dream, only in dreams
Blushing, puffer fish.

Cameron put this together from the show on tuesday.
He's so responsible.

Silent Barn

I played a sweet show at the Silent Barn on tuesday.
Matt Gaffney (Sharks Roar) drums, RJ Gordon (Trails)bass and Weston Minissali synth
We had Leah, Chess, Lucy, Annie, emma dancers. I forgot the box of tools I had for them, so they just destroyed everything during our set instead(RIP Glasses Gordon)

Something else cool - Cameron Wisch and Eric Drasin, who I've been lucky enough to perform with in Elemeno.
Cameron played without paint.
Instead Eric projected some sound responsive craziness, through the crowd on to Cameron. With a fog machine.
It was a very cool show, people were digging it. I'll try to find some pictures.

Ghost Mall is a mystery. I thought those guys were from New Paltz, but I can't tell. Maybe they're travelin ramblin minstrels. I'm glad I got to see them this time. We played together at the Fluxus event in the stood, but I was loading out while they played in another room. Cameron actually played that show also.

Data Dog closed the show. Check them out for being really cool.

Harry Katz & the Pistachios - jumped on last minute, was very cool to see them playing when I arrived. Surprised and happy.

Silent Barn = A+

New Dredg +
New Isis +
New Wilco -
New MewithoutYou =
New Dilla +

That is my review of new albums.

Did I mention I have stolen a huge amount of music lately?

Absolutely

A new song I wrote last night. I had to add the video effects because it sounded better with some reverb, but was really disconcerting to look at that way.

Outside the frame of sight, who can
See what's in the frame of mind, instinct
Here we are, aligned and close enough to bread and butter
The fat I've sucked has left me too slick for a lover
Hugged around my throat
A necklace made of fabric, beads and metal things
A token of my open heart, with all my blood and feelings
Pouring out, there will be rain
There will be drought

All my friends and enemies want to
Be rid of me, don't you
think that we should spend some time before we spend some time together
get to know each other better
I know I do, maybe I'm a fool
Depreciating every second leaves me neck deep
in a pool of insulation
all my flaws are bricks in walls
The doorway keystones are the baddest of them all

Back to where I have been, changed since
We were last in bed it seems living
Paved the way for calmer days, or maybe just less tension to break

I will take you in
To paint my favorite parts
When you're not in season anymore
