I took your poison...

Such a beautiful song. This band rarely, if ever, puts a foot wrong. In my humble, yet fervent, opinion.

And yes, I do admire and read authors who didn't die by their own hand, or lifestyle. If that had occurred you.

Plenty of 'em

desire

I want this book so badly. I've been searching for it for years. It sells for hundreds of dollars second hand; it's that rare and out of print. Won't someone reissue it?

Wingate Paine

Resurrection recently had an exhibition of his works; echoes of Sam Haskins, whose work I concidentally - or not - became familiar with when working at Resurrection NY a few years ago. Katy Rodriguez, one of the store's two owners and proprietors, is now producing her own, eponymous range which strikes me as brilliant given how many designers and their assistants came through and mined her archives: a constant stream. Now she has first pick of the whole inspirational bunch.

Sleep. Exactly what I need to be doing at this very moment. Except that it's Winter and too cold for sleeping nude. Central heating is virtually non-existent in this country; I still daydream about the clanging, hissing radiator that was at the end of my bed in my apartment in Williamsburg. Right now, nothing would sound as comforting...

trem two

I know a beautiful woman from Kalamazoo, I truly do.

Wish I had caught them on this tour.

Foster-Wallace. A great gift and a great loss. There's a lot in this; I want to watch it again, straight away.

For the record, (and this will be seemingly unrelated unless you watch the thing) I've always been a fan of Westerns - the dramatic moral codes in play, the expansiveness of the settings, the nature vs technology dichotomy etc, etc .

From a show my band Faint Spells played recently in the wonderful surrounds of St Kevins Arcade, here in Auckland.

With The Tape Men

= One the best shows ever.

Little miss me got to open it in her white cowboots boots too. She's a real deal talent that Kristine Crabb. I love how confused the audience were when we finally came out; the band had been playing forever (well a gooood fifteen minutes), they were starting to wander around the church in a fugue state, desperate for a drink or some fashion at least....
