i’m back on US soil and did a gloriously stupid thing with my camera which resulted in me frying my memory card and erasing 560 pics and video I took in Paris and London. Will take it to a data recovery spot later today and see if those dudes can perform a belated Easter miracle for me. Two things, this Obits album is really good. Best new rock album I’ve heard in quite some time.

secondly, Thomas Bayrle has knocked my longest running #1 art crush Ed Ruscha from the throne. I can’t remember that last exhibition that really really impressed me, maybe when the SFMOMA did the Bill Viola retrospective, but his work is amazing. He is a serious badass.

Also, me and Marco are thinking about starting an “anything goes” monthly, more on that later. Don’t count on me playing hip hop though! Those days are long gone. I’m thinking about adopting the name Snake Scarf because somebody put a python on my friend Kyle in Austin during SXSW and I told him he should be DJ Snake Scarf from now on, which he sadly did not embrace. Or maybe I will continue with Awww Damn.

I bought a lot of random records overseas and am excited about them.
