Getting super cold out there... Been walking down the street with a full face-mask (Christmas present!) in psycho mode, it probably looks like I might dry-gulch any stranger with my psycho mask and that I'm listening to the entire "Master of Puppets" album ready to kill but really I'm just listening to 'Ol Skeeter. Looks can be deceiving.

a nice photo of the band from justin's bartending days. seems like so much longer ago, but it was only actually like three weeks. i guess that's summer time perception. the days are just so much more epic. photo taken by pete voelker. pete's tubmlr page

Sometimes you pass a town that you just can't forget the name of. Sometimes you just pass out in your living room when it's really hot out.

Remember those hypercolor shirts from the 90s? When they used to run out of "hyper-juice" you couldn't make them change anymore. That sucked cause i think they were 20 bucks, which you can't afford if you are 10 I think. So then you were stuck with that regular ass t-shirt that says hypercolor on it and when someone came up and put there hand on it to make an imprint, and it was always a big letdown.

2011-03-29T04:55:00.000-07:00

so..We just returned from our trip to Austin for sxsw. It was fun, needless to say, despite the fact that our crashpad(mallory!!&%^&%) flaked out about 15 minutes after we arrived in Austin, after a 15 hour drive straight from Nashville. We immediately set about making new friends to search out a place to sleep for the night. Lily, an Austinite, took pity on the five of us at about three AM and invited us to stay. great. one night taken care of. on to the shows. we played two of 'em in Austin, one at a proper venue (the longbanch inn) and one at a house party(thanks BC). they were fun, but we only wore the suits at longbranch. We were given a proper BBC intro from the stage manager, though it was one thirty p.m. and the hangovers were definitely in effect, turning it into a wet breakfast...i have to wonder how long the collective hangover of austin texas lasts after the last poster is taken down and the police barracades all removed from the streets. it's like new years eve for five days straight. i heard the population of austin doubles during south by, that being said, i've never been there any other time so i can only speculate what normal life is like there.

EARLY MORNING PRIDE.

2009-01-27T00:27:00.000-08:00

The night Obama won someone put a flag on me like a cape. I didn't even really remember until two days later when my friend Sean told me about it. Then when I went into my camera bag my camera was wrapped with the American flag I'd forgotten about. I don't know who put it on me. Somewhere along the line it became a little blanky for Lance.
One morning at ten a.m. I was awoken by a stumbling Lance and he kept repeating the same sentence every minute. He told me he'd met the fattest, ugliest, most beautiful girl he'd ever seen and that he was in love!!!
I took it upon myself to get a flag photo shoot before he put a cap on the long night.

LUSH, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.

2009-01-26T17:44:00.000-08:00

For about the twelfth time I have come into playing Lush's "Split" over and over. Some tapes are only good for a time and then you can't believe you once had love for them but "Split" won't go away. Here's two really good songs.

Rahm Emmanuel & Rod Blogojevich FBI taped conversation

The US Attorney in Chicago, Patrick Fitzgerald, released a wiretapped conversation between Rahm Emmanuel (Obama's Chief of Staff ) and Illinois Governor Rod Blogojevich and it is a doozey!
FBI File #9536B Wiretap on line 312-XXX-XXXX November 10th, 2008
12:42 PM Eastern Time
Rush transcript:

RAHM EMANUEL: This is Rahm.

ROD BLAGOJEVICH: Hey Rahm, yeah it's Rod.
EMANUEL: Uh-huh. What's going on governor, I'm busy.
BLAGO: Well, it's about that Senate appointment. ..

EMANUEL: We already gave you the list of people we like.

BLAGO: Yeah, I been looking the list over. Interesting names. Good people. How's the transition going?

EMANUEL: It's going fine, governor. Are you calling to fucking tell me anything, or what, cause I--

BLAGO: No no, I'm just wondering if you have all your picks already made. I heard something about Dashle for HHS--

EMANUEL: I'm not gonna discuss ongoing deliberations, gov, you know that.

BLAGO: Hey, come on Rahm, let's not act like I'm a stranger here.
EMANUEL: Did I call you a stranger? If I thought you were a stranger, you think I'd be interrupting my important fucking business to take this fucking phone call?
BLAGO: Hey you don't have to get curt with me, Rahm.

EMANUEL: This isn't me being curt, Gov, this is me being fucking busy. Now what did you call about?
BLAGO: I'm just feeling you out, seeing if Valerie [Jarret] still wants that Senate seat, just wondering what kind of priority that is for the President-Elect.

EMANUEL: Actually, it's not a priority. Valerie's had second thoughts about the job.

BLAGO: What, she doesn't want it anymore?

EMANUEL: She's having second thoughts. You want more details, you ask her.

BLAGO: She won't take my calls.

EMANUEL: Big fucking surprise.

BLAGO: What's that supposed to mean?

EMANUEL: Um, I don't know, what's it supposed to mean governor? A.) You're a fucking crook. B.) You're a fucking asshole. C.) All of the above.

BLAGO: I'm clean Rahm, you know this. You think that fucking Fitzgerald would being twiddling his fucking thumbs if he had shit to go on?

EMANUEL: I gotta go, Gov. You appoint who you want, we really don't give a shit.

BLAGO: What if I appoint Valerie, what if she takes it?

EMANUEL: What do you want me to say? We'd appreciate it, I'm not gonna fucking kiss your ring over it.

BLAGO: "Appreciate it"? Come on, this is a senate seat we're talking about. It's worth a fuck of a lot more than appreciation.

EMANUEL: You asked us for a list, we gave you a fucking list, you want to make your own list then make your own fucking list. [Raising voice] But if you're asking for anything else from me, or Barack, or Valerie, then you can fucking stop talking right now Rod.

BLAGO: Wait a sec there Rahm. Wait just a fucking minute. Who are you to talk to me like that? I fucking made you.

EMANUEL: You made me? You made me? Tell me you're fucking joking.

BLAGO: No no no, you listen to me shit-face. You see this list I got, the names motherfucking Obama fucking wants for the Senate. I just ripped it in two. How you like that? Oops, Harris just dropped it in the shredder. Harris?

HARRIS (muffled): Yes sir?

BLAGO: Did you just drop that list in the shredder?

[Whirring, shredder noise]

HARRIS (muffled): I did.

EMANUEL: Do you have me on fucking speakerphone?

BLAGO: It's in the shredder, Rahm. The list is bye bye.

EMANUEL: Hold on a sec -- you got me on fucking speakerphone? Who the fuck do you think I am?

BLAGO: Who are you Rahm? Who are you? You're shit, you hear me? Don't come back to Chicago Rahm, it's not your town any more.

EMANUEL: Pick up the phone Rod.

BLAGO: I'll put someone in the senate who will fucking fuck you. I might even put myself in there, how you like that Rahm? How you gonna explain that to fucking Barack, every time he's gotta call me up for my fucking vote. He'd have to take my calls then, wouldn't he?

EMANUEL: [Screaming] I said pick up the FUCKING phone!
BLAGO: [Picks up phone, speakerphone off] I got your attention now, didn't I?

EMANUEL: Shut the fuck up and listen to me for one second Rod. And I want you to listen carefully, because this is the last time I'm ever going to talk to you. You are fucking dead to me. You been fucking dead to Barack since '06, now you're dead to me. Know what that means? That means you're dead to my people in Chicago, Daley on down, and all these friends you think you have aren't gonna touch you with a ten foot fucking pole.

BLAGO: Oh now you're the fucking Godfather? Fuck you.

EMANUEL: No fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you.

BLAGO: Fuck you!

EMANUEL: Listen up asshole. The shit's gonna hit the fan, maybe tomorrow, maybe next month, and when Fitz finally brings down the hammer it's gonna be my name that's going through your head. You won't know the hows or the fucking whys, but it's gonna have my fucking fingerprints all over it. Have a great life fatso.

BLAGO: Hey fuck--

EMANUEL: [Click.]
