Raking brains

Welcome to the show. My first question is crumpled in risk and hidden, engulfed in visionary flames at the bottom of a bin….here, extinguishers concept of flight…. Out of it…. “Eject. Eject eject eject.” You won’t find anything, but all of it in the same breath.                                                  Are there lines in the sand  where you stand?  It’s fine 

The experimental appreciation letter

If you read this blog, I really appreciate it. I appreciate you putting up with my terrible literary mumblings of poetic desperation, these are the posts that are wondering why they are those at all… It’s a selfish endeavor, these attempts to capture the peculiar allure of the unknown via sentences of lofi rhythm equivalent hisses of inverted silence minutely invigorating grammar fucking but from where is the language angled annnnnnngrily is it. Tit. Nipple cat piss cringe bruh…El ching ah ouchie fuck slurp chugging riff of the genre signs with skid marks to Geffen.         Tip of your side burns   top of the spiked hair  lathered generation   soy curls did what to you there?     Find rhymes in the cross hairs of the courting culture; ego nestles you snug in the middle of lards love   air fried tumble drying romance   product seen cooking still in 

So happy to live in this wonderful neighborhood with you so let’s make the most of this beautiful day and since we’re together we might as well say ‘would you be my, could you be my, wont you be my neighbor? ‘

I apologize if I got the lyrics wrong….. .

That link takes you to an article that’s about my hood in Southeast Portland. Do check it out. Pic is of my newest space funk band, the Gubbermint, playing in Portland, Oregon at the Twin Peaks themed bar Hawthorne Hideaway last Friday on July 3rd which is also in this wonderful neighborhood

DIY TOUR list

1- Do not put stickers on your touring vehicle. It attracts cops.
2- Bring your gear into the hotel or place you are sleeping that night (if you can). If not, have one person sleep in the vehicle (weather permitting). You’ll wish you made the effort when you get ripped off.
3- Do not carry excess amounts of cash on you. Crooked cops prey on touring bands and steal your cash when they pull you over.
4- Trailers are accidents waiting to happen. I’d rather have a vehicle carrying the gear and a smaller fuel efficient car to carry people.
5- If you do pull a trailer, get a boot for the wheels (in the old days we would jack up the trailer, take off the wheels, put the wheels inside the trailer and leave the trailer on jack stands.
6- Get a lock box that covers the trailer door latch (padlocks can be cut off)
7- Always drive the speed limit.
8- Leave as soon as possible for the next town. You’d rather be bored and early than late.
9- Don’t carry any drugs on you (do them at the gigs)
10- Do not separate from the group. I don’t care if that person you had sex with last night says they will get you to the next town. Ask Marky Ramone about that one.
11- Carry a full size spare, a 4 way lug wrench and a good jack. (try to get new lug nuts before touring if possible). You could spend 30 minutes changing a tire or wait 3 hours for roadside asistance.
12- Get a AAA membership (the first tow pays for itself)
13- Get a separate GPS from you phone. Phones get dead spots, GPS has a dedicated signal that is more reliable.
14- Do not talk shit online about a venue that you didn’t like. Other venues see that and it will affect your “bookability”
15- When you stop to eat, make sure you can see your vehicle through the windows while you are eating.
