new poo

Sorry about my rant in the last blog, I kinda blew that out of the water...I didn't get a chance to write yesturday cuz michelle went out and i was too busy with Faren and Quen. Before they went to bed, my friend Bry came over and scared my kids and molested my dog (just kidding) .
After the kids were put to bed, we talked about all kinds of stuff. I worked on some recordings for his upcoming movie he's working on. So we went over those and I burned him a copy of all I had. His new movie will rule for sure. From what I've seen it's pretty fucked up and pretty dark. Can't wait till I see it in finished form. we drank some beer. He left and I went off to bed. I guess at some point michelle came home. today, jeanne is out of the lab so I'm writing now because I know I'll be busy tonight as well. Have a band rehearsal for our show on Sunday with Cave at the Cavern. I heard Cave have been having having Van problems, police problems, and other fuckeries.....I'd say that is the way to tour ya know...where is the comradely without the pitfalls. Makes the whole thing more human. I remember when Black Dice came to town to do a small show at this place called Lemmins or some shit years ago. They had the sweetest van one had ever seen...One could tell there was no way it would break down. It was long and green..so long I bet they could have slept in the thing. All new looking...I bet they have a bus now...that is the real tour dream is to have a bus where you can do anything while on the road. Think about all the crazy sex and mind altering things one can do...you would never get board. Then to have the bus break down. That is living! stuck in the middle of nowhere in a bus full of drugs, naked people, and booze. You would have to make do. And you would. but even with all of Cave's problems on the road, they are still going to make it here for the super Sunday event. It's going to kill for sure.

From Cave's myspace bulletin: "CAVE has been through so much bullshit in the last week, i'm sure some of you have heard. but here is a quick rap up...fucked with by MP's at Quantico (marine base/fbi jail or something) van breaking down in kansas early on, then again the transmission fully blown in Stamfore, CT right outside of NYC. we managed to play a show last night, but we didn't make the thousands we are in debt, ha. We're still going to continue this trip as much as we can with a UHAUL we're renting, which is weird, but we've called everybody in nyc and they be booked up for renting vans, plus they have some stupid law with no one ways or something that we can't quite understand, but, we've had everybody being nice to us, making this whole no van, no money, trying to rent a van fiasco easier, big thanks to these people. sorry for boston, cleveland and detroit for cancelling those shows, we had no choice, we'll be back though asap once we're back ahead again."

My hands are so chapped I'm bleeding...December is like get sick month. So I wash my hands constantly. I know it's sick month cuz all peoples get together for holiday parties with little kids and little kids just put mouths on everything and poop everywhere...So I wash till I bleed. highly recommended.

supersonics died tonight

Well, weel, veal, zooom...

shitty day indeed.....buh it started okay, hung with Quen while Michelle took Faren to her ultrasound and oncology visit. I guess the oncologist was too important to make his appointment to see Faren this morning.. Michelle and Faren had to wait like an hour before they decided to leave. Doctors out there..fuck you for making people come to see you and don't make it...I know yr busy and shit, but get a new resident or some shit for these follow ups and stop fucking with people..if yr sooo fucking busy with other shit..refer people to someone else..we will take our deposit somewhere else..fuck you...I mean this guy did not even cure Faren of here tumors..this is some guy who took her files up when Dr. Grossman moved on to better places...and this new doctor we have is a Wilson...fucking Dr. Wilson...anyway Dr. Wilson..FUCK OFF!!! you made me late for work! You added more stress in our lives...fuck you...

then the rest of my day was working...then I came home to an empty house..because of DR. WILSON and his high priorities...michelle and I fought about stupid shit..cuz we were both stressed out...took a shower...napped...then watched a half a Bulls game...then michelle came back with the kids..put them to bed..now I'm jamming Caroliner on my turntable..drinking beer...Dr. WILSON!!!!

fuck you..assshole...ruin a good day for me again..and I'll write another nasty blog about you...

poop stain love balls

that is the title of one of the new songs i'm working on with the band. It has come down to this. where all is brown and milky...but it's not some yummy drink...like fucking yoohoo...it's been kinda a droll day today. went to work and everyone was hung over from last night's "work x-mas party" where we all went bowling at the pin-up bowl. I actually won the first game at a measly 115 points...ya, lab rats are not that awesome at sports of any kind. I was losing pretty bad the 2nd game but michelle and i got outta there in time for me to pass the game on to someone else. but today was today...not much to be said. I work in a lab at Wash U. and it's a great job. Sometimes it can get like a rerun day...everything is the same..nothing to get excited about...but most jobs get rerun days unless yr an astronaut or some shit...but I think even they have rerun days..."gotta figure out how to poop in 0 gee again...oh I better get this shit written up in the log again"...anyway...got home..did the normal things here...peanuts was on TV so we let Quen and Faren watch that...then it was reading and feeding and screaming and now I'm in the basement once again...ahhhhh..i love it....

ya know, I'm starting to think I might want to do somethin' more useful with this blog...like review albums or movies...but I'm not that great at it...but I used to do it for a mag called The Lumpen Times...I did a strip of live music reviews called "ruin the gig" and mostly reviewed my friends bands who where a part of the Chicago "No-Wave" stick...ya know in the early 1990's. That was a great time to be in Chicago. Thing here in St. Louis was doing pretty awesome as well...seems to be tapering..but not as much as Chicago does after a good thing happens...it pretty much crashes into total shit. right now, Chicago seems to be in a upswing again with interesting music and happenings...and Lumpen seems to always be involved with it somehow...they are good at being an estimator on the noise and they don't get all foggy on the now cine...some mags and bloggers tend to get stuck in the past. One rule I always had was never review a band by saying they sound like someone else. Most bands hate that. Almost 90% of the time I'm sure the band never heard of the band some reviewer said they sounded like. Also review a band in a creative way to make it as interesting as the music itself..make it seem like you were inspired by it...even if the music is shit...write like you just had one. Anyway...I could not review live acts anymore cuz I don't make it out enough to do so. Like tonight I would have done anything to see Awesome Color play Spooky Action. but I'm here at home in my basement plucking away in my blog. it would be easier for me to review releases...but I have not gotten much as of late...I think the last thing that came into my hands was Nandor's CD..which is amazing I'd say...but that is not a review...in my book..that's just quick response..if I do decide to review..that will be the first album I would do since it's the last one I got and it's a fairly new album...shit I'm pretty excited now...but I'm too pooped to do it now..and I still gotta write a few e-mails...anywhey...just come back maybe I'll do it...soon...maybe

turdyeight

well, i just made it around the sun 38 times. so roughly the earth is in the same position as it was 38 years ago...I've spun around on the earth's axis 13870 times around. I will be breaking 14000 times this year. so crazy. yet no one got nude at the little happening here at my house. Some good friends came over to drink and hung out. We played some Holy Modal Rounders albums, some Sun Ra albums...Dave tried his best to make a fire out back with all the cold rain and mist about. funny thing thou, his ride needed to go and as soon as he left, the fire started to stick. no one was around it...lone fire.



One thing I have been thinking about today is how performing arts or the arts in general can set the boundaries of what is acceptable behavior...then I thought how much nudity in art there is in general seems to be the main catalyst, the main ingredient of what cannot be seen outside of art. One can goto an art opening where a performance artist is nude and playing with his own poo and rolling around in a basin on used condoms and people will not be able to take their eyes off of it. Put that same naked person doing the same thing in an alley and the person can get arrested for indecent exposure. maybe even considered dangerous. the real trick is do show thru art (which seems to be the main vehicle for this sort of thing unlike pluming or drag racing) to make people want to mock it in everyday life...it would start where the artist does something and the people watching it does the same and they are encouraged to. An openness needs to be there for that to happen.. I said in my last post that art is a nice wall from seeming perverted when ya get a wiener free and flapping around for all to see. but this wall must be moved further away from the artist to also include the people watching. I've seen this happen over that last few years in skarekrau and to a lesser degree with lone tree (a band where me and a friend ran around with only mud over ourselves while playing a bunch of home made electronics and junk). Sometimes we find ourselves naked which seems to be expected from us now. But we soon found other people...people we don't know...to take their clothes off and dance around us. It made the whole thing more festive...the best example if our show over the Mississippi river..nude people of both sexes were dancing to our fuckery. I do hope it continues to the point where maybe one day we can organize an all nude party with bands and dancing with all the sexual overtones... I think people would come away from it feeling a bit freer and more comfortable with themselves. but this all has to start with some creative maneuvers...and all of this is not just limited to nudity...but with social and political issues as well... It's really too bad here in the USA we have such shame..the Midwest is the worst of it. but I feel any kinda change in the shame would have to come from the Midwest (from the center) to be taken seriously. the coasts are pretty written off as silly children playing with issues ..just drawing attention to themselves. You know how people say only the weirdest shit comes from the Midwest...or even Texas...ya know more socially conservative areas... it's just because it's just not as expected and people tend to look at it more with a less cynical orb. So I think we just have to show more of ourselves...and that box cannot be opened until artists start to do the same...

don't worry friends ...I don't think I'll talk about naked people all the time. but I think I might want to see you naked..... well maybe some of you...
