Old Monkey Wiring
I watched the Blazers lose.
I went to the game and at the end I felt like it was me too who had lost.
Why?
That’s crazy. I could have just as well rooted for Dallas. I have about as much in common with Dirk Nowitzki as I do with any of the Portland Trail Blazers. Am I the only one who wonders why I put myself through the emotional trauma of going to a basketball game? When “we” got posession with thirty-ish seconds left I got an adrenaline rush that nearly stopped my heart. It couldn’t have been worse if they had passed ME the ball.
So dumb. It’s all that old monkey wiring still hangin around inside our poor old monkey brains. Weird.

Tafelmusik
One of the only baroque records that I truly love is a collection of tafelmusik by Johann Heinrich Schmeltzer. Back in those days the very wealthy and powerful would hire their favorite composer to make music to dine to. Thus tablemusic became a genre.
Recently we have begun recording some very cool music that I’m hoping will become an album of perfect modern tafelmusik. Somebody’s gotta do it. We have a lot of dinner parties so we’ll be able to take it for a lot of test runs. Fun. As we go, I’ll put little thirty second bits of it up that FatHead records live on his laptop microphone.

Leave It To Anton
Oh my gosh Anton’s new stuff has fat beats. He just sent me about half a dozen tracks and it’s amazing.
I’ll ask him if I can put a little bit of it up on here.
There’s one particular track that I think might be the coolest one that any of us or our friends has ever made.
He sings really cool on this stuff too.
Jeez. Really some unbelievably cool beats here. Damn. Leave it to Anton.

Spindrift and The Upsidedown… from the road
Henry from Spindrift gives a little insight on their current US/CAN tour with label/tour mates The Upsidedown.
Foxes
Alright we’re just about decided on the remixes of Amigos. It was very difficult since a multitude of genius remixers went ahead and got involved. Maybe we’ll announce on Monday.
Well, Denver again. That magical land where there’s no traffic jams. Really. I’ve never been in traffic in Denver.
Anyhoo check this out. This is one of the coolest installations I’ve seen anywhere. This is in the Denver Art Museum.
Heres what it looks like:
And here’s what it does with flash photography:
“Fox Games” by Sandy Skoglund
They’re having an exhibit of 300 rock posters which FatHead and I will be checking out later this month between skiing.

Unhappy
Congratulations Portland! We finally won the honor of Unhappiest City in The US. Thanks to all the cloudy days, high suicide rates and shite economy we win! Now maybe all those developers and business folks will think twice before adding another ‘Pearl’ to Portland. Leave us be, leave us to our rain and grief, our coffee and cigarettes, our dark arts. Oh wait, is that it? Did we get even sadder now that we have to smoke outside in the rain? Is that what finally got us crowned as The Saddest? Sadder than New Orleans, St. Louis and Detroit? Well so be it.
