Welcome To The Third World
Here’s a sign Ron English painted and put at the Mexican-American border on April Fools Day. That guy is funny.

John Keel has a few pics from last night’s free Google show. Here is the Facebook photo album.
Thanks to Google, Y La Bamba, and Typhoon. And a special thanks to Eric Hedford for sitting in with us again while Fatty’s in Australia.

Random Pics From Tour
Here are some random pics from tour: this one is in Las Vegas at some Elvis installation, thus the TCS w/lightning bolt (which means “takin care of business in a flash”). He demanded that his crew do exactly that. Barnsey took this one.
The show in LA. I think my cousin Julia took this one.
Our friend Cary Haider took this at the portland gig. Looks cool. I wish you could see my boots better cuz they’re the ones I designed for Fleuvog several years back. They look better than ever. I’ve had to re-sole them a couple times but damn they’ve aged well.
Portland. Stephanie took this

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.)

More in Asheville
Our wonderful day at the Moog factory. Naturally they have an all-Moog studio there. We jammed for about an hour and they recorded and filmed some of it. We also did an all-Moog per-version of “Green” which will heretofor be known as “Greener Than Green.” I think it might be awesome. We’ll see.
Now for the gig: well…speechless. Okay, no. Actually a religious experience for a lot of people. Including us. Besides being in love with this town, we are deeply in true love with this venue, The Orange Peel.
I’m blissed out. Feels great. Gemütlichkeit.

CTT: Sunday Photos
I’ve hitched a ride early with Cut Copy so that I can hopefully play drums with Dan Black.
Uffie told me she’s partied every night. Somehow she still sings exactly like her records. Damn. I’m jealous…. and yes the dude on the left is rocking the keytar.
Kelly from Block Party’s other band. A little more electronic on record but kicks a lot of ass live. He rode back to the hotel with us last night. He’s got a cool vibe.
New Young Pony Club. Fuck yes. Badass chick drummer and a real sick disco bass player. I’ve dug every song so far but I’m gonna have to split in ten cuz we’re about to play.
Now, about this book.
Kurt Vonnegut wrote a little thesis called “Why They Read Hesse” which describes it perfectly.
Then add some superpowers and alien intrigue.
I’m not saying I didn’t like it, but it’s definitely for kids. Also, the first half is more well-written than the second half. The book Is part of a forthcoming series, which desperately wants to be made into a movie, by the way. Lastly, the name of the author is the fictional wiseman of the other planet and if the author actually remains anonymous I shall be both impressed and jealous. But I have my doubts.

Day Question Mark
Day ?
Yesterday was spent in bed recovering right up til the gig. Which was awesome. I got some real sleep last night but am still very tired. Another 10 hour night should fix it.
Well this isn’t a real Tasmanian devil but it does look quite lifelike, wouldn’t you say? We’re flying back to Melbourne today for the Parklife show tomorrow. Also I have a book reading/signing at a club called Cherry. I think its tonite at 6pm ish.
I did not buy this because of the author’s amazing name. I did not buy it because it was the only book on the entire rack NOT about more fuggin sexy vampires. Nope, I bought it because it has basically the same plot as Mike Allred’s “Red Rocket Seven”, which, next to “Micronauts”, is my favorite comic book of all time. I’ll letcha know how it goes.
Bye bye Tazzi. That was really really fun.
