west coast touring

30 August 2007

As I completely failed to mention on this blog, I'm on tour out west.

Stateless in San Francisco was good fun.
Sacramento was fun, but nobody was there.

I'm in LA right now, in Echo Park (home of many old cowboy and silent films, frank zappa, the eagles, gilligan's island and [a]ppendics shuffle.

Its both dirtier and nicer than I expected. Nice California homes, beautiful hills and graffitti tagged palm trees. Hoping to get out to different neighborhoods today.

Everything in LA seems to be hidden. There are no centers, just corners here and there and locations that people will drive to. Venues and restaraunts could be anywhere, there's no need for the clustering that New York does.

Its a lot more fun when you are in your car.

It would be way more fun if they imported about 10,000 monkeys and let them loose in the city.

Sounds like there is a problem for the venue for JAM this friday. Other parties and other venues for me to hit are being explored. Stay tuned.

      POV video from STS-124.  No film director or composer could make anything this epic. Even Stanley Kubrick would tone it down or try to resolve it to edits and angles. The adrenaline builds, and at 2 minutes your mind beings to blow. The ending is truly beautiful, don't miss it. A camera gets lost in Aruba on November 11, 2009. A turtle finds it on January 15, 2010, films this refreshing shoegazer video and becomes a YouTube celebrity. The camera ...

      From Jozi and Cape Town, South Africa 2010 Lloyd is from Zimbabwe and lives and works in George, SA.  Every 3 months he goes home.  His wife works in the US embassy and might go to India next year.  He's trying to build his house, brick by brick, so eventually when he moves back he'll have some place to retire in.

    • Murungu in Baghdad

      I must admit that while I walked across the bridge to Zimbabwe Bob Marley started playing in my head. Sunny, windy, I'm smiling to myself. But they wouldn't let me in because the visa sticker is too big for the remaining space in my passport. I walked back to Zambia; they wouldn't let me in unless Zim stamped a denial. Back to Zim. Self-important immigration guy is on break, lady wants to gossip with friends and not listen to confusing ...

Solar Life Raft Ingredients

  • coltan and cassiterite Timeblind

The unmixed ingredients from Rupture and Shadetek’s Solar Life Raft. Including two tracks by me: Coltan and Cassiterite and Space Cadet (which came out on last year’s 12” on Version)

I’ve been waiting/yearning for Coltan and Cassiterite to come out for much of last year. I was about to release it myself just to relieve my own tension waiting for it. Anyway, its on a good home: The Agriculture and the reviews have been great so far.

The title refers to two of the minerals that are mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo and are components in portable electronics like cel phones. Its one of the unfortunate driving forces behind continuing warfare among the militias in the Rwanda/DRC border area.
