The video for “Last of the Outlaw Truckers” is up exclusively on MySpace. Check that out HERE.

Also, our record is out tomorrow. I know, already?

There was blood everywhere. Smeared across my cheeks, it made me looked painted as some Bowery whore turn century, the last. You know, when ‘Bowery’ was a word not spent in mixed company. My hand, it turned out, wasn’t much of a bandage, at least not as much as I had been led to believe form old World War II movies. I’m not sure if it can be considered a gush; the tide wouldn’t take anyone along with its current. But, yeah, it was pretty bad. I only had four hours, I estimated. I mean, I was no doctor, but it couldn’t be too much longer.

Which kind of made it all the more surprising that, what with my fuente de la sangre, I chose to spend my last remaining minutes with my dying flesh on this planet Earth at Spaceland. Yes, instead of seeking the assistance of a hospital. Zia McCabe was DJing, and from what I heard, she had the healing power of DUB. Zia did get grossed out when I hugged her. I mean, who wouldn’t? My guts had just been eaten out by a dog while trying to steal a car. That’s my life!

I just saw some dude spray painting the lawn and sidewalk — off Lovejoy, under the 405 — white. The guy was obviously on official business, because he was wearing Jerry Seinfeld pants. When I spray paint things like that, it’s called “vandalizing”. (Art is what they call it in the year 2020 — you’ll see, Tom Potter.) However, I don’t ever recall spray painting actual living, breathing grass. Dumb.

So, our city is so stupid sometimes. Get it? (Don’t move here.) Where do we like to get away to? Our home away from home, our not so secret love, Australia. Damn straight.
