So pleased to be able to make this poster. I’m so psyched for this show, even a month in advance…

** Forgot to note, this show was July 21, the date was corrected before it went to print! **

Please listen to Always Wanting More. You will be.

Jay Reatard at my favorite spot on the Lower East Side, Cake Shop. I just want it here so I can play it a lot.

… knowing that the new World Inferno Friendship Society is at Extreme Noise in CD form, but the vinyl is not here yet… I don’t want the CD! Meanwhile I just have to make do with the one new song on their myspace page. Ah, the awkward transition into the digital age.

I caved and got an iPod for a price I couldn’t refuse. I’ve been stuffing it with music, but Tip got ahold of it and programmed her own playlist:

1) Dog At Large, Naked Raygun
2) Dog Tree, The Ex
3) All Dogs are Hes, All Cats are Shes, Toys that Kill (though she’s perplexed by the title)
4) Corky Dog, Citizen Fish
5) Hear the Dogs, Dog Faced Hermans (her favorite band, of course)
6) Rough Dogs have Bumps, Melt Banana
7) Vagabond Dog, Naked Raygun
8) Bulldog Front, Fugazi
9) Underdog, The Dirtbombs

Why don’t you rise me up?

A few friends of mine have been working nonstop all summer to put this awesome fest together at the Soap Factory. There’ll be music, art & workshops — some of which I’m helping with. OpenCircuit is doing a wiki workshop, and FWD-MN will be doing some workshops on alternative economies.

In other news, I came into some Einstürzende Neubauten, X and Diamanda Galas records this weekend. I never imagined “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” could sound so frightening.

More work on the siding.

Found some rough spots.

And it looks like a smurf village is growing in our yard!

As promised, the poster we designed for the Naked Raygun show. Word is it’s selling out fast, so I’d get tickets while you can!

I think it turned out pretty well, except after staring at it for a while I started thinking about the classic movie Inner Space. Not good.
