Putting Our Orwellian Recent Past in a Full-nelson
Wikileaks: is everyone aware of what this really is? It’s a dream of what we all wish we are. It’s what we make movies about: a benevolent superpower.
They are saying “let us know, We can handle it” BUT THEN, when the money systems companies did what is wrong with “the system” like a tired cliche’, they said “NOPE”.
This is gorgeous X-men shit putting our Orwellian recent past in a full-nelson until it says uncle. Hysterical and I find it deeply comforting.

My tour manager told me we took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

The Sound Of Songwriting
I received this link from a couple friends who said they loved it. I haven’t read it because I don’t feel comfortable reading press, but go ahead. It’s Zia approved.

Oscar Wao
Well the narrative doesn’t exactly cruise right along. By page 78 I found myself flipping through the rest of the book reading a page here and there. This guys writing style is fantastic but it constipates after a short while. I don’t know if I’ll ever finish it.

OK, somebody at the Satyricon show is funny.

Tour Report
The last leg of our touring for the year has got off to a great start. With the 3rd show being my favorite so far.
Here is a very flattering review of the Seattle show.
PS: This means we’ve played three great shows in a row in Seattle (Neumo’s, Bumbershoot and Showbox), a place I always considered us to be hit or miss. Nice to know we’ve got a place so close to home we can now count on enjoying. Way to go Seattle fans!

RE: Vintage Caper
As far as plots and stories go this one is just plain silly. But then again that’s not what it’s about. If you’re into food, France and French wine this is what might be called an elegant romp and it’s definitely for you.
I’m gonna read The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao next. Just as soon as we’ve had our two-day break from tour.

The Vintage Caper
Our gig last night was magic. If I had gotten more than seven hours of sleep I’d still be reading but I’m too tired to concentrate on one thing for more than a few minutes. Or pages.
This is a whodunnit about a three-million dollar wine heist. I’m in heaven. It also happens to be written by my favorite kind of modern writer: a wit who can keep out of his own way.
Check out this cool, um,”art” installation on the U.S./Canadian border. (Click to enlarge.)

Pirate Latitudes
Apparently this book was discovered as a complete manuscript after Crichton’s death in 2008. I didn’t even know he had died. Well the book is pretty damn fun. It’s got me through four flight delays and one cancellation, three van rides and a seaplane.
One thing though, it’s been a while since I watched Captain Horatio Hornblower but I kept thinking that this was the same story. Or was it Yellowbeard.
