in honor of obama, economic armageddon, and our imminent departure from germany, we’ve been indulging in some usa-themed junk food here at drumcorps hq. here we have some traditional american tuna fish pizza. i love that slogan, about sums it up.
ah yes, an american classic.
this one they almost got right, except for the whole cheese and ketchup pre-installed under the dog thing. the bun is basically a bread tube sliced perfectly in half, with the consistency of a panini. not entirely unpleasant.

calling switzerland – dudes just be honest here, everyone knows where your gold comes from, you don’t have to drop code all the time. why that number of coins, why not a nice round 90? why not just go for it & make chocolate teeth? geneva airport december 08.

sometimes things just click. one of the best shows, ever, in many ways. if you were there you know. no one got good video due to the total darkness, but it’s almost better that way. massive thanks to brandon & the 5lowershop crew for putting it all together, to animosity, realicide, and all the other music that evening, and special thanks to everyone in the house – both returning and new people who had to seek out the place – you gave us road-worn musicians a renewed faith in the power of music, friendship, and dedication ….. somehow the whole event reached that elusive golden mean between seriousness and pure fun. we will be seeing more of you soon.

as of mid-april, i’ll be based in the usa (west coast very likely). berlin’s done what it needed to do and it’s time to move on. as this berlin chapter ends i want to send a special thanks to all european friends, independent organizers, and fans who have supported me the past few years, with you anything is possible. to take drumcorps further it’s going to get a bit more gear-heavy, and there are still two things that the usa excels in: high speed pizza delivery and world class musicians. looking forward to rounding it out in europe feb & march, reassembling the studio, and back to finishing off the album. also looking fwd to jumping back into the fray, recontributing to the american dialogue instead of being a stranger, and playing some shows for you guys in places further out than sf & nyc. best wishes.

greetings from the sprawl. it’s good to hear people finally expressly stating and defining the roots of feelings i’ve internalized over my life growing up in the middle. the past few weeks have been surreal. if we were weird before, now after a few years in music, traveling everywhere, and meeting people from all walks, there’s no going back. off to SF tomorrow, looking forward to the 5lowershop jam on friday! will be epic.
