hey there everyone - andy and i did our second radio show over at ninth floor radio. here is the link to the entire set, and here's the page with all of our sets on it. we have another show coming up on this thursday, march 13, from 5-7 pm. the theme this time is "crazy". koo-koo. if you want to listen in on the 13th, point your browser over to the 9th floor radio site and then click on 'Listen Live' or 'Listen via iTunes'.

i spent a good deal of time today cutting up the tom cruise scientology video (which i'm sure you've seen, but if you haven't seen it yet, hold on to your hats. it's a doozie).

X

i ran across this video on the youtubes and thought i'd share. it is because of this band that my boyfriend and i connected* - 18 years later we're still under the wicked charm of this amazing band. x broke the rules in an interesting way. x made me want to write and draw and be an interesting/interested person. x made me feel like there was a world - an interesting one, filled with interesting people - outside of the town where i lived. exene published her own zines filled with her writing and images and collage. this was fascinating and new. she terrified me. she did a crazy doll-house dance on stage. i followed them around and wrote them letters and wore a variety of x buttons on my cardigans. when i saw them play (for one of their reunion tours) it was as if i had put on a really comfortable sweater that i thought i had lost. there was a sadness there, too. they sounded great, and they should have made it really big.

there was a show of punk rock memorabilia that exene organized, and she asked me to contribute something. here's what i put in the show. i was sandwiched between mark mothersbaugh and phranc and was over the moon. i made this image ten years ago, mind you.

*i had a bootleg cassette of X playing that i loaned to andy. he used the cassette as an excuse to come visit me, and linger, and talk for a while. on our first date we agreed that john doe was foxy.

camper van beethoven

in , ,

hi there ladies, had a very quick (and very refreshing) one day trip to santa cruz - saw camper van beethoven play at this place called the attic. CVB is my/our favorite band from "back when" - though it's odd to say it like that, since they put out a great record two or so years ago. the crowd is a tad older, but the band is still super tight & the songs sound as fresh and weird as they ever did.

there's a delicious rumor going 'round that a certain michael wertz and a certain jonathan segel may be collaborating on the design and imagery for his next compact disc release. stay tuned.

here's a fil-mm of camper playing a couple of my favorite songs:
