if you have some time on your hands you can crawl inside
my head (figuratively, i’m assuming) here:
http://www.magnetmagazine.com/category/guest-editor/
for some reason the nice people at magnet magazine asked me to guest edit (in other words: pick 10 or so things that i like)their online magazine this week. or month.
it’s deep and profound stuff (like my love of corn on the cob, gwar, and family guy).
oh, and last night in arras (yes, puns were made) was great. it started pouring rain so i dragged my microphone and guitar amp (i’m not bright) into the rain with the 60,000 people who were getting wet.
note to performers: if your audience is standing in the rain watching you then you need to be standing in the rain, too. it’s also not every day that you get to look into people’s kitchens as you’re walking to the stage. see, the arras festival is in the town square, so to get to the stage you walk through the town. and said walk involves walking past apartments where people are eating dinner and watching tv.
it also involved talking to nice french journalists while lenny kravitz and franz ferdinand were onstage (not at the same time, just to be clear). it’s a night off in belgium, so i think i might go see the new sam raimie film. and yes, i know it’s not that new. and yes, i don’t know how to spell sam raimie. but it looks good, something about a young person being dragged to hell. then it’s off to estonia.
and manchester.
and wales.
and serbia.
and hungary.
and amsterdam.
and austria.
and latvia.
and france.
and rome.
and etc.
and etc.
and etc.
i know it’s not terribly green, but i would really appreciate it if someone would give me a helicopter.
thank you,
