THEE OH SEES - SINGLES COLLECTION VOL 3





Here's our cover for THEE OH SEES - Singles Collection Vol 3.
The physical object is quite hard to capture photographically, as the surface's reflecting shine could give a blank platinum Jeff Koon's Bunny a run for its money.
That's that Chrome Tri-tone flavor for you.

This band is killer, and I've loved them for - like - ever.

FREAK SCENE EAST - OPENING NIGHT






here are some cool photos from our group show in Philadelphia at SPACE 1026.
thanks to all the lovely folks involved,
with special thanks to Keenan Marshall Keller & Pat Aulisio for bringing it all together.
more photos are available on Thomas Toye's website.

"Best show no one's ever seen." - Charles Burns (author of Black Hole)

tell all your friends. oh do spread the word! this is a great collection of some of the most radically exciting mind-splintering violations to the artform of the juxtaposed narrative. take a look, we do certainly "bring the pain".
the collection of books on view must be absolutely marvelous... if i were there now i'd probably stay for hours. 

all fresh. all new. all now.
the literature of the unspoken wow.

stay savage

THE HERMS - DROP OUT VOL 1





the new THE HERMS is now out in store and available online.
check out my painting on the cover for the awesomely raw booming blare that is THE HERMS - DROP OUT VOL 1 out now on Castle Face Records. we have it playing all the time in the office (‘cause i said so). it’s my first physical LP in my hands, and i like it a lot. : )
it has some real great gems hand-picked to be audio-delicious as one solid volume.


thanks to Matt Jones and John Dwyer for getting this together.

love,

EXPERIMENT FILM FESTIVAL PORTLAND




I just got this super rad t-shirt in the mail from the kind folks of EFF Portland. 
Super thanks to Karl Lind for including me in the B-Side (which thrills me not only for the fine company, but also because it reminds me of Adam Ant's B-Side Babies). Thanks also to all the great folks involved in putting everything together. Pink in so my color right now, and the unflinchingly fearless format of volatile cinema Experimental Film Festival Portland celebrates is also a distinctly personal joy as well.
With special thanks to the Oregon Department of Kick Ass. 


love,

CHROME - HALF MACHINE FROM THE SUN



I worked on the new CHROME release HALF MACHINE FROM THE SUN - The Lost Chrome Tracks from’79-‘80, funded with kickstarter to buy back essential tracks produced (and lost) during  prolific period of sheer brilliance between HAa LF MACHINE LIP MOVES and 3rd FROM THE SUN.
It was a pleasing experience with the concept provided by the wonderful performance / video artist (and occasional Chrome member) Monet Clark, with the forms assembled, and nuanced with digital wizardry by Shalo P (and his electric hands). 
sidenote: I got to skinny dip in the creek in front of Terry Riley’s house during the trip.
