Everybody Wants to Go on Forever, I Just Wanna Burn up Hard and Bright

Due to a series of serendipitous events, I lucked out and saw Ryan Adams in San Diego tonight with Amateur Chemist. When we got there, we were told the worldwide tour policy is no photos (“he looks the same except the venues are darker”), so I drew pics instead. Here’s the OCW review.


This Week Was Pretty Productive


Jah went to Milwaukee to visit relatives without us, so we tried to keep busy. We bought our tickets to the Philippines, got old computers fixed, cleaned out closets, got massages, watched a movie (Moneyball) in a real theater and went to the Prospector for karaoke. I sang “Suedehead” by Morrissey and it’s been in my head since.


Lee “Scratch” Perry Was at the Galaxy Theatre Tonight

That show followed the dynamic of a dub song exactly–it went on and on with no discernible highs or lows, but it was very enjoyable all the same.

Bon Iver Never Gets Old

Bon Iver
It just gets bigger. (I took this photo three years ago, and Justin Vernon and his two other bandmates were three feet away. When I saw them at the Shrine tonight there were nine people in the band, and I would’ve literally been blown away if I stood too close to them.)


We Stayed Home Today.

We went to the store for entertainment. This is what $240 worth of media looks like. (And those books were $3-$8 each.)


Jah Got Serenaded

The artist Airika played this song on her mini accordion especially–and only for–Jah because she thought he was so cute! She’s an amazing artist, and he loooooved it. I’m sure even at 9 months old he knew how special that was.

24 hours left on a cover story. No, I am not procrastinating. At least not on purpose.
