El Retorno Occidental
Body Parts and I are back in California. They’ve been putting on consistently devastating performances every time I’ve seen them over the past week and a half, and even getting stranded in Eden, TX didn’t slow them down for long.
We’re not done yet, though. If you live in Oakland, San Francisco, or Las Vegas, we’re going to attack you at the following spacetime...

…My friends from the piss walk a few minutes earlier, the teenager and the twitchy golfer, showed up suddenly from around a corner. “What’s up?” the teen yelled, part greeting, part challenge. As they moved closer I could see in the brighter light that he was wearing prison sandals, and that he was bleeding from his armpit, and that underneath his shirt he was carrying...

Hey guys — I’ve been receiving a lot of questions about the last post, and to answer most of them in one fell swoop, YES, I AM ALIVE. I will post the rest of the story soon. But I haven’t had any time to finish it, because…

I was a moron for putting myself in that position in the first place. Around...
Severe Back Catalog Attack/New Orleans
Bar/None just sent me word that most of my really old albums are now up for download on iTunes/Spotify/anything else you can imagine from any country you can imagine. This includes some out-of-print stuff like my first record from 1998, an echo-drenched disaster that the D.C. City Paper wrote about a few months back. The vast majority of y’all reading this blog probably haven’t heard...
South/West Tourdates
In a few days I’ll be leaving my family in Florida for the first time in months. It’s been great being here, doing things like:
- Remembering that Jacksonville is a hostile, scary place to navigate unless you’re in a car but also full of really great people doing really creative and/or really cultured things you’d never expect to find in a place like this.
- Confronting...
NPR: The Austin 100
Neat. NPR put “Erica Western Teleport” on their SXSW preview mix.
