I made a new album a while back. It's on bandcamp.
My friend & I are putting a band together. We shall be called The Nuer.
I made this mockup for an album that doesn't exist yet.
Children that can't visualize a word don't understand it. That means all ideas are pictures.

Soon I will make a narcissistic website where I am going to start posting everything I make that I feel like sharing with people, so that this can go back to being a place where I share other people's music for people to read to. I'm trying to get things organized in my mind and in the physical world. I want to start publishing my website again. I want to start caring more. There is so much good writing on the internet. I think themselves will work things out.

This video takes a while to load and while it may seem uneventful at first, I saved the best for last. Most of all of this was filmed by Thomas Edison around the turn of the century. Supposedly he is "sneezing" but I think he was being clever about the fact that he did cocaine. Unless you have screaming fast internet, you will need to let it load for a few minutes because that is how vimeo is.

Whatever you want to do really, if you want to.

I think when I'm old I'm gonna go around telling people who I likeI hope they have like a dozen childrenthe way old men do in Polish New Wave moviesand Chinese fairy tales.

Steve Roach is like woah chill. There's more to that but you should just listen to it rather than me.

People do things and sometimes other people. Does that mean we do something of what I guess I mean is because sometimes what we do is right or wrong, right -- this is a question (said the way a bad guy would say "This is a stick-up" in a bad movie).

I reviewed two books I read recently.

I Looked Alive on Thought Catalog

The Interrogative Mood on HTMLGIANT

Brett Gallagher wrote something nice on my review of I Looked Alive, which was nice of him, and my review resulted in at least one Gary Lutz book sold, which I consider a personal victory - I even did a sort of fist pump but I became aware of it halfway through and it became more of an invisible bump.

I'm reading at Chelsea Martin's book opening on Sunday, November 14 at Royal NoneSuch Gallery in Oakland. I don't know what time. Probably in the evening. Chelsea used to cut my hair and she was good at it. Now I go to an Italian barbershop in North Beach. I don't really know why. But the guy's name is Sario and that seems good. I don't know what good is.

You should know I have a lot of faces. I'm collecting them for the end of days.

Ludicrously classy solo jazz piano by a lifelong heroin addict from Louisiana. The best of the best. I listen to this all the damn time. And there's no reason not to. It's the best.

I like this thing "Person/People" by Bryan Coffelt that is on Everyday Genius. I feel like it describes all the people I have ever known in one way or another. I'm just kidding. I don't know. It's a lot like people I know or have been though. It's good. I mean, I like it. It qualifies...

This bit of tropical french-prog psychadelia goes hard, in a soft way. It sounds dramatic at first, but no worries, soon everything melts away into the goodness, like a frozen banana-fudge bar or something.

You really need to read Gertrude Stein's essay "Composition as Explanation." It explains a lot.

Really liked Higgs's word object, "Sometimes I Feel Like Punching Someone In The Face Until They Can't Breathe Anymore And That's The End Of It", which serves as the preview of Lamination Colony's swan song.
