November

November = Honey, sound & dance improv



See?

That was with RJ Gordon & Katie Vitarella. I just learned how to use a light mixer. There is a video somewhere, but I can't find it. I wish here were pictures from the performance I did with Scott Davis (Images, Drooling Pipe), Annie Rigney and Lucy Wilson. We opened for a show with Pillars & Tongues (that only about 6 people attended, bummer). The restriction on the dancers was to always maintain a point of contact. It was slow and pleasant. I liked it a lot, especially because it occurred in a completely red room with red lighting. It reminded me of being in the womb.

Also, I recorded a few new songs - Honey and Chapter One. I've been on an animal collective kick (aka - processed vocals)
Listen to these!
November 09 demo

Flying Rat Party

Here is a brand spanking new tune. I wanted to try something more in depth as far as demos go, and while trying to show that through video, I may have gone a bit over the top. Still, please listen to the song.








Keep on coming back
to sick new organs of this body
wasted on bad blood
and antibodies
eating everything

Someday I will grow my teeth
and suck this city dry

Escape through open wounds
spit on the scab
dissolve the walls
doors on every corner
it will cost you just to leave

You don't owe me anything

Burn down
every block
Between the sidewalk cracks
a healing colored green

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.

Distaster? Disaster Piece? Sick new band

So there is a new band - Disaster Piece or Distaster depending on which you think is more convincing.
It is so much fun and I get to feel/pretend to be really destructive. I like having nothing but a mic. All I need is one mic.
I hope I don't fuck up my voice, but warming up and not drinking malt liquor and smoking cigs will probably minimize any adverse consequences I may suffer.

James Ryan - Guitar
Casey Chandler - Bass
Will Whatley - Dumms
Pete - Dinosaur

Here is a snippet of a new song we're working on.
Predator
I was in love
When we first hit the bed
I fell out
Feet first steps
I left
Please forgive me, Mary
Don't plan to marry me
Fuck.


Be ready for a 15 minute set sometime in April.

There is a cool picture from the Elemeno set at Fluxus and a bunch of awesome pictures of Cameron looking like a space man.

New song - Driftwood

Hey everybody, I wrote this new song yesterday and I like it. It's about people.



For a day, to see, to hear, to feel alive at the same time
Two lives at the same time
Pull away
Eat the fruit from this tree,
triplets meander into three
Pull away

Keep connected, stretch to keep the tension
Fall back to sleep
Landscape or a picture frame
Graceful in its length
Landscape or a picture frame
Distracting, calling my attention
Pull away

I will drift, drift, drift onto your body
I will drift, drift, drift away
