my new roommate, the stand-piggy:

is that percussion or electric like some insane theremin?

either way looks awesome


crap! sorry to hear.

my friend royl makes these.
it's an acoustic instrument/sculpture.
we like to play it with mallets and bows.
it's also great fun to mic them with contact mics and run the signal through fx.

^^ great!

Thanks! But I'll manage it somehow. I already put up a poll and the way things look right now, I'll just transfer it from Saturday the 16th to Friday the 15th. Gotta contact the venue and fix the date on another website where I already created an entry for it. There's no option to edit it yourself, so I'll have to ask an admin. Bit of a pain in the ass, but it shall work.

So, ATT: It'll probably be the 15th of May. Nice addition to your room by the way!

that sounds SO FUN. i always wanted to play a waterphone, too.

anyone here ever been in a tornado?

No but my family is from tornado alley so ive heard plenty of stories

I didn't say they weren't but orgasms are better in private than walking the street no? Same with obnoxiously large headphones.. all the kids rock beats (which actually really suck btw) and look like 80s jackasses.. i been listening to music 24/7 on headphones since was carrying a walkman and cassettes but ive alwaya preferred earbuds so i can sort of know what is going on around me (hey i metro through the Hood got to alert) rather than getting totally absorbed in my own sonic world

it's pretty wild. the aftermath only though. its crazy what they can do. Georgia has been getting a lot as of late. F3 came maybe a little over 60 yards from my house years ago. maybe closer. one tree down and my dog disappeared for days.

just wondering.

yeah, during the string of hurricanes florida got about eleven years ago, one ripped through my neighbourhood and took out our back fence. my grandparents' house was destroyed six or seven years ago and the city built them a totally new house on the same spot. they slept through it.

I once witnessed mobile homes being lifted up in the air and the sky was all green, but I never "saw" a funnel......afterwards everyone was talking about the tornado, so I must have been close???

Sounds like California and earthquakes.. we got our own Richter scale it goes, "do i get out of bed for this?" Usually that translates to above 6.0 which admittedly is a strong motherfucking earthquake yo

yeah, my aunt and uncle up in the bay area act like it's nothing. which i guess after being born in and living in california all their lives, it is. my grandparents were really lucky to have not been hurt, seeing as their roof collapsed around them.

I once ate a tournedos

had an epic fight with my mother, the kind i have been having once or twice per year since i m unemployed, yesterday afternoon and since then i m not ok. so, i m trying to be ok, because as i said i want to be ok.

be ok

you're still unemployed? I thought you'd found a job a while ago.

it is happening, but not just yet. its ministry of economics, procedure is stuck.

in my ass!
(sorry)

Whis I could weld and work with metal myself. Royl is great with it. He recently made me the best and heaviest guitar slide I ever saw. it's so huge I have to play it with two fingers.


friday nights I usually have to work until 11pm. but afterwords, I'll be there.
if you feel funny, this friday, me and eric are gonna play at fucking Nachtasyl of all places. Really looking forward to that.
we're gonna do free-space-psych versions of Townes van Zandt, Mississippi Fred McDowell and Jackson C. Frank. haha. could be a total disaster too.


sorry to hear that nef.
had a weird fight (that, like everything where I come from, started with Knödels) with my mother last weekend too. we basically both made us very sad.

hope all you hurricane people are fine.
Somehow your hurricane envelops me in misty rain
Funny how your quiet pond can carry me like a rushing river
