autumn into winter, full fucking bore!, and a pale trembling frost every morning. 
soon’ll be 5 foot ice-drifts, tender trucks of fallen snow, and the bones of trees with their necks bent into the wind.
the mt. zion band, post-recording, is still up on blocks. come january we’ll crawl down under there with worklights and hammer at the rusted differential! (and am longing to be back in the middle of jamspace-reek, summoning the anxious squall…)
rough tour-plans=europe mid-march to may. eastern america=mid-may to june.
we’ve got 2 new songs on the go, unfinished leftover’s from the last bout. one of them’s a bonehead-riff, circa 1974, and the other one’s just a dozen words repeated over five bass notes. other tasks at hand= have to retool the arrangements on two of the songs from the new record, and get up on a few of the older tunes that we haven’t played in years. possible covers this time around- “death of a clown” by the kinks, and a slo-mo cover of “manimal” by the germs.
best/worst interview question anybody ever asked me= swiss radio, after “horses in the sky”- the goyishe radio-dude tells me that the record reminds him of the history of the jewish people, wandering the earth searching for a home.
what i told him= everybody in the band has an apartment. 20/20 hindsight= should’ve hit him up for some hidden nazi gold.

Here’s hoping that those rough plans include a brief stay in Northern Ireland. Our wee country isn’t as bad as the press would have you believe.
Please please please try to return to Pittsburgh. Although I wouldn’t hesitate to travel hundreds of miles to see you perform again, I’m pretty much confined to this city indefinitely. If you come, I promise to bring all the people I love.
let me despondently add australia to the wish list
Desperate worker and in pain for too many years, YES I AM DESPERATE and I hope this will give you an email to me, my blog experience is one boredom I’d rather forget. My point is, do you want to play, in norway or in sweden, to celebrate my best friend,(FOR us that’s lefts sake more than his actually)that fought for his believes until day zero where he left me and all of us alone in this pissfilled world, please do, please contact me and i’ll arrange anything it takes. I actually saw you playing once at pusterviks gbg but it didn’t leave me with any chance to thank you and I had to run home with so much hatred I couldn’t bare for the crowd, after 48hours with no sleep but it was still worth it. i REALLY hope you’ll take me srsly on this, good luck with everything and with much love.
Joining the chorus of pleaders, I want to say, if you come back to Buffalo, NY again, I won’t miss you this time, I promise.
See you in London or somewhere in the UK, and I won’t say such a stupid thing as I did when I spoke to you after the last gig in London.
Hope to see you in Lisbon, again.
I saw you play scarla 24/02/2004 – was your 13th show (?) it snowed. hope you play manchester again – i know it can get silly (have seen you in Manc ever since) , perhaps could do a low key gig like DMST did. anyways, very excited!!!
Winnipeg.
Greece is lovely in the spring…
i mean, i’m sure you’re going to do it, but to join the choir: new york city?
its kind of a must hit town. also, if you need an opener, i saw an old man on the subway playing an old casio with motorized puppets dancing around him.
BERLIN waits for a live. Action is required.
Are you still in Malmo? Any chance of an impromptu show over the bridge in Copenhagen?
I really really wish that you’d come one day to this lovely small country, New Zealand <3.
I too would like to add Australia to the wish list
