The election last Tuesday gave me hope. The Ds caving (on the shutdown) within a week of those victories reminds me how much our team sucks at strategy and understanding their voters. 😡

From an hour ago at @nytimes.com "Schumer .. is in danger of looking out of touch" ??? The New York Times needs to read the room!! Schumer is 10-20 years out of touch! He needs to follow Pelosi and get the hell out of the way!

Duke: I know a life of crime has led me to this sorry fate, and yet, I blame society. Society made me what I am. Otto: That's bullshit. You're a white suburban punk just like me. Duke: Yeah, but it still hurts. Otto: You're going to be alright, man . . . maybe not. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKIa...

#nowplaying I am listening to Steve Reich's 1997 "Octet (Eight Lines)" There's something so depressing about this. I imagine it playing out to the universe on an endless loop, showcasing a high point of human potential. However it's heard... open.spotify.com/track/1S8zri...

Frank Zappa: "Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe."

Nicolas Cage was a 5 star-WTF in VAMPIRE KISS. Washington Post: "Cage acts as if he has been taking hits off of Dennis Hopper's gas mask. There's no way to overstate it: This is scorched-earth acting — the most flagrant scenery chewing I've ever seen." And that's why it was a fun watch! 👻

Respond to a fan email: Nothing ever is perfect, you gotta make art that's "good enough," then let it go. Same is true of a broken heart. Let it go, let it float into the past. There's nothing else you can do. Tell yourself a story about it, a story that helps you feel better, and then move on...

War-ravaged Portland

“The universe is an intelligence test.” ― Timothy Leary

A fan asked "Q What are your favorite films:" APOCALYPSE NOW. Copolla's amazingly surreal fable on the stupidity of war. REPO MAN. Alex Cox captures the mid-80s L.A. Punk / alternative world I moved into when I went to college in California. BRAZIL. Terry Gilliam comedic retelling of Orwell's 1984

I'm answering some fan email from Thailand, Lima Ohio, and the Czech Republic. Ohio wrote: "(THE SCAVENGER BRIDE) has a strong, beautifully melancholic mood that mixed well with the crisp night air the first time I heard it in 2005." blacktapeforabluegirl.bandcamp.com/album/the-sc...
