Went and spent a little over three weeks in the NW and had an amazing time. My friend Mark Schomburg is out in OR and we hung out a bunch. He used to run an artists’ warehouse I lived in. I really loved waking up to crickets and wind moving through trees rather than construction and fire engine sirens. Been seeing a bunch of bands lately:

She & Him
Spiritualized
Om
Devo / Tom Tom Club
Radiohead (twice)
Madonna
Department of Eagles (their very first live show!)
Grizzly Bear
The Residents (tonight!)

Next week is Sunn O))) at the Knitting Factory which I’m really excited about. I’m going to be missing Brightblack Morning Light which sucks. I’ve been playing their last two albums repeatedly for awhile now. 

Finishing up Dark Stars!!! Almost there!!! So excited to get this thing out in the world!

Amazing dental problems. Teeth are just too expensive.

Reviews

“Take a walk on the wild side.” – New York Post

“For readers looking for a visit into a zone beyond the diluted mainstream pabulum, Dark Stars Rising is a stellar book that deserves to be read and preserved.” – Cinema Crazed

“This book is gorgeous.” – Bloody Disgusting

“Dark Stars Rising is a true Necronomicon, a Black Bible of transgression and transcendence, of the Other and the Beyond.” – Beyond Hollywood»

“Images almost literally burst from the paper in a subliminal, psychedelic manner, spilling from the edges of the pages into your surroundings and into your brain – altering them so that after reading this book you can’t be the same person as before.” – Temple of Ghoul
