I am really sorry if any of you haven't gotten your tapes yet. Our tape replicator was misplaced on tour and I just got the a couple of new decks to record tapes on. I am going to throw some extra stuff in because of the delay.

sorry

SXSW TOUR March 12-Morning of the 13th "HORSEFACED"

2009-03-13T18:06:00.000-07:00

March 12th- First day of tour entering the world of rest stops and eye strain from the constant illusion that this road will never end. The remnants of whatever low grade gas station food we could scrounge up for less than two bucks lay across the floor of our van like a kid who went wild with his toys and left them all over the house. We talk about HEAT, TEXAS, SUNSHINE, TIME ZONES, GIRLS, DOES LOVE EXISTS OR IS IT ALL CHEMICALS, EERIE INDIANA, OPRAH, AND NEURALGIA. Brian curses aloud when we find a Krystal fast food restaurant (it is essentially WHite Castle without onions) We were on our way to Knoxville Tennessee creaking down 75 with our styrofoam cooler on wheels that we call a trailer when a woman made a face like Large Marge in Pee Wees big Adventure and pointed to our trailer. Our first thought was crap our instruments are flying out the back and being crushed under the tires of a Serpent from hell on 18 Wheels. So we pull off to the shoulder of the freeway with bile in our throats and and Jeff going into cardiac arrest. Me and Mark check the trailer and nothing looks worse than it usually does until we get to the left side. Our axle had cracked and the wheel was bent at a 45 degree angle reminding of the scene in Herbie Goes Bananas where Herbie is all beat up from battling a group of thieves stealing Mayan artifacts. His wheels are bent to the side and his friend yells out to him "Ocho you just have to get up." Sadly life isn't always a Disney movie about VW Bugs and our little trailer was as dead as a mummy. With less than 4 hours to get to the show we called every auto repair place in town and no one serviced trailers. So we called U Haul and detached our trailer from the van. Drove to U Haul and rented a trailer. So it all worked out. If it ever sounds like what I am saying or the way that I am saying it is untruth or embellished in any way I want you to know that no matter how fantastic Serpents with 18 wheels on them sounds it really did happen that way and your disbelief could be a sign of myopia.
When we got to the show people seemed to be getting impatient, a couple left while we were setting up. The show went off well in the normal fashion of a pagan ritual marked by a constant pain in the top part of my brain caused by the telepathic abilities that I possess whenever I am on stage. When I was a kid I prayed for years that I could be God's prophet. That he would send me wherever there was anyone hurting, that he would speak to me in visions telling me where to find them so I could let them know that they are not a lone ( I hope that is what I am ). After the show we were met with overwhelming accolades of applause and praise. People came out of the rafters wanting to shake our hands. I was a little annoyed because I had flung my glasses off when I had a self inflicted seizure on stage. I found them on the ground as broken as the Industrial Revolution. This was a little disheartening to me because I just gotten these and my last pair had befallen the same fate. Actually Mark the guitar player in my band is wearing my old pair that has only one arm and mine are held together with neon green drum tape. We stayed with these guys who didn't even see us play Nick and CJ, they lived with their best friend Tommy's Aunt. Brian (our bass player) had an allergic reaction cause their aunt had like 5 cats even though she said she hates them (life works that way sometime you just have to laugh). We stayed up till about 4:30 listening to 70's records on vinyl, they had a couple thousand lp's.
The house struck me like thunder. It made me realize what a lot of the homes in the Northern Cities in areas with a high quota of yuppies and their Suburbs were missing. They are like transplants. A mass produced, aluminum exterior stuffed with IKEA furniture and paintings of fruit. I am not a negative person anyone who knows me you will tell you that. I like horses and have been getting into Newfoundlands lately (any one who loves a dog like that has a good heart I say), I cry during the sad parts of movies and get so excited for my friends' birthdays that my face burns red. This women made almost everything in her house. There was a painting on her living room table, there were broken records in the sink that she was washing to make later into some kind of tile. Everything in her house felt so much like her that you got the instant feeling you were old friends. Maybe it is because they still have nature in parts of the South. Our cities in the North remind me of when I had pink eye as a child it feels like egoism in some ways. Does the modern man ever grow tired of his own buildings. At some point you have to be the participator instead of the creator to really enjoy yourself. Of course there are exceptions everywhere and I would rather focus on those things that are good so I won't dawdle.
Nick is joining the army and has been in and out of foster care homes his whole life. Yet he never missed a beat, he has dreams of someday becoming a Nuclear Physicist. He was one of those people whose eyes seemed very old. The kind you believe really could become a Nuclear Physicist or a Molecular Biologist or a Paleolithic Archaeologist. My heart felt like it was flowing with milk, honey and sky vodka when I left. Like days when for some reason you can feel the surface of your skin concisely.

These are some acoustic songs from a project I have called Jr. Jr. which is what my grandmother calls me because they call my dad jr. so I am Jr. Jr. I wrote these songs as gifts to my mom, grandma, and my ex girlfriend for presents. Alot of them are from 3 and a half yrs ago when I was living in Arkansas with my best friend Mike! I would record them in the bathroom of our townhouse in Fayetville! I would stand in the bathtub with my guitar with a room mic and sing. It was pretty fun!

A Poem by Wendell Berry!

2008-12-22T12:45:00.000-08:00

Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front

Love the quick profit, the annual raise,
vacation with pay. Want more
of everything ready-made. Be afraid
to know your neighbors and to die.

And you will have a window in your head.
Not even your future will be a mystery
any more. Your mind will be punched in a card
and shut away in a little drawer.

When they want you to buy something
they will call you. When they want you
to die for profit they will let you know.
So, friends, every day do something
that won't compute. Love the Lord.
Love the world. Work for nothing.
Take all that you have and be poor.
Love someone who does not deserve it.

Denounce the government and embrace
the flag. Hope to live in that free
republic for which it stands.
Give your approval to all you cannot
understand. Praise ignorance, for what man
has not encountered he has not destroyed.

Ask the questions that have no answers.
Invest in the millenium. Plant sequoias.
Say that your main crop is the forest
that you did not plant,
that you will not live to harvest.

Say that the leaves are harvested
when they have rotted into the mold.
Call that profit. Prophesy such returns.
Put your faith in the two inches of humus
that will build under the trees
every thousand years.

Listen to carrion -- put your ear
close, and hear the faint chattering
of the songs that are to come.
Expect the end of the world. Laugh.
Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful
though you have considered all the facts.
So long as women do not go cheap
for power, please women more than men.

Ask yourself: Will this satisfy
a woman satisfied to bear a child?
Will this disturb the sleep
of a woman near to giving birth?

Go with your love to the fields.
Lie down in the shade. Rest your head
in her lap. Swear allegiance
to what is nighest your thoughts.

As soon as the generals and the politicos
can predict the motions of your mind,
lose it. Leave it as a sign
to mark the false trail, the way
you didn't go.

Be like the fox
who makes more tracks than necessary,
some in the wrong direction.
Practice resurrection.

CHOOSE LOVE!

We just got back from CMJ it was an amazing experience, I saw the Castanets and Viking Moses, as well as Place to Bury Strangers, Ponytail and the Ruby Suns. On Saturday night I this band for the first time called Wye Oak and they were really good. They are a two piece from Baltimore. I went to the Ghostly showcase to see School of Seven Bells play for like the seventh time in a week and this was definitely the best time I had seen them (all though they are amazing all around or I wouldn't seen them a gazillion times). We played at Glasslands at like 3:30 in the morning and Brian my bass player fell asleep on stage after the show!!! Yikes. On Sunday we played this place called Alpha Beta's for the CMJ Dropout Festival. It was really great! That is pretty much a recap oh yeah and the guys in the band met Patrice O'Neal!!! It's New York it's New York It's NEW YOOOOORK.......

Crusties!

2008-04-11T20:16:00.000-07:00

(This is a poem I wrote a while back) I still kind of like it!

Every morning I wake up with scabs on my eyes!
Yellow clotted blood with razor edges and omens.
Dried up tear ducts needing triple bypasses.
Infant eyes emerging from a womb of sleep.

What Did I dream? That the fountain of the deep has dried!
What thought, what nightmare, what Sahara!
Dreams of love leaving for the some grey suite with white pinstripes,
For combed teeth and wire brushed brain cells.
Was it of Dresden, Hiroshima and the evening news,
World Hunger, Nanking and napalm hues.
Was it the devil painting realism with hellfire
Or I his mirror mimicking his hunting dance?
Was it of brides whose grooms stole the batteries
From their flashlights leaving their words cavernous,
Like some chill that will not leave, an achy shoulder,
Or a truth you can’t remember.

A holy book said that our children would dream dreams
But nothing of dry dream stream scheme screams!!!!!!!

A layer of your eye burns off when it sees light every morning
As if it were incense asking for forgiveness for our secret thoughts!
