I bought two tickets last week. I believe you may still purchase tickets.


-Ryan

My new records.

These records are all worth mentioning. They all good bay-bee!


-Moses

Karate Party.

Beyond The Implode

English DIY circa 1979. I don't know how Siltbreeze does it. Beyond The Implode 7" EP. You can get it directly from the Siltbreeze site. That's the only way to get it actually. 300 copies. I ordered two. How many are you getting?

What were you thinking?

New bag or sleeping bag

I think this is a knock-off, but I've heard it does the trick.

Damaged

Gareth Pugh

F&$%

Mixing People is Meeting People.

The monthly mix tape exchange is here, and it is tonight.
Bring an old tape, new tape, or even a blank tape and let's swap because
everybody likes everything we just haven't heard it all yet.

Internet break

Hey everyone this is Ryan. I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. I plan on fixing that. Here's an update on whats been happening:







Mike from White Pee let me borrow this delay pedal for my keyboard. I guess this is a great pedal. Multiple gearheads have commented on it. I've been spending a large chunk of my free time figuring it out. I pretty much have all the sounds I want to make locked in. I was taught classical piano and eventually jazz so I'm baffled when it comes to electronics.





This is my next purchase. It runs about $80.00 new which I thought was expensive, but apparently it's cheap for a pedal. Starting a "serious band" is expensive. PS invite me over to jam someone.


I've been listening to:







Arthur Russell





The Clean


Did you know the WWE wrestler "The Rock" and now serious actor Dwayne Johnson considered Arthur Russell a father figure? I guess Dwayne's mom was a professor at NYU and hung out with the downtown art crowd. Dwayne worked as a bouncer at some of the clubs Russell would perform at. Eventually they developed an intimate rapport. It's in some issue of the New Yorker. Ian told me that and it really tripped me out.


Speaking of the New Yorker, I've been reading it every week. I asked nana for a subscription for Christmas and of course she made it happen. I love you nana! We don't have a television in our house so this is my only news source.





A couple things I've been reading in addition to the New Yorker:







John Fante





Charles Mingus (I highly recommend this. The number of women he supposedly balls is out of control.)





I went to CCA last week for a Jonathan Franzen reading. Genius writer/genius riffer.







Mi Ami is my favorite band going in San Francisco right now. I'm tempted to say the best too.




I'm headed to Los Angeles next weekend with my girlfriend. Here is our plan so far, but feel free to give me some ideas via the blog or myspace.





LA County Museum of Art. I'd like to see the Chris Burden piece at night. Like in the photo.





Peres Projects. Terrance Koh is funny.





Opening Ceremony. My girlfriend is going to throw down here I'm sure.










I saw these photos in a blog Jabar turned me onto (2 or 3 Things I Know). If you've seen my bedroom then you know how much this speaks to my soul.

1906.

Get something to me soon.

I've got a good case of The Stone right now.
Kinda like a good pack of baseball cards. There's gonna be a few typos and bench warmers, but there should be a rookie card in here or there that will be worth something some day. Except maybe if they'll just end up being a bunch of bums or maybe if they get lucky (and you will be considered too) they may just die and be immortalized like James Dean or Kurt). Yeah man, I left his last name out. The same way that hippies say Jimi or Bob or Bob Or Jerry. Do you know both Bob's? Yeah you got it.
Iggy.
Patti.


Now we are here. Fucking Iggy kills. "Real cool time....a real cool time!!!"!!!
I'm putting out an Everly Brothers zine pretty soon. If you wanna submit something anything to it, please bring a drawing or some shit you would rather do instead to me at Recycled Records soon because I am getting tired of stretching out this really cool run on sentence. Put some shades on that baby, he's cool. Real cool. And finally...back to "a real cool time... a real cool time".


Also:
I need to be blessed by you (reader) with a scanner. I know you got one kickin' around and you're trying to live small but can't help cheating. Pass it along.
Or even if it has paint on it or even a crack, it would suit me fine.
I heard that Spacemen 3 records are worth like $200 now.
I believe that. Everybody loves those guys. Freaks too.
The Fairport Convention trip me out when I'm high.





Currently reading:





This is a living paper. I can't elaborate, because I'm too lazy.
Suggested donation=$1.00. Sliding scale.


Contribute to the zine sooner than later. I'm working on an Elvis Costello one next.
The Meat Puppets kick ass too. They slayed live. Lane changing on the highway of life. That is them up at the top. Where they belong.
