... playing rock&roll in #Seattle tonight at the Sunset Tavern with the groovetastic gothalicious Faunix & the fabulous Woods brothers' Map Of The Woulds... 8pm if y'all intrigued

#LiveMusic #PNW #SeattleMusic

spent today in La Conner, WA
for TOM ROBBINS DAY

wasn't sure what the turnout would be
as several baristas we met there a few months back
had um never heard of him?

(he's lived there since the 70s)

anyway it was awesome.
91yo Tom was KING FOR A DAY
& led the parade flashing peace signs.

...

being as we are an improvising trio
which includes at least two recording geeks

BCO! has managed to record
EVERY SINGLE ONE
of our live shows
(except one brief impromptu jam)

the above, therefore,
is our 37th album
in 6 years
lol

Turns out in Washington state, a 'radius clause' cannot exceed 3 calendar days, so y'all bands keep this in mind as you negotiate yr contracts with Bumberfuck festival etc

for those keeping track at home...

my partner @CuratorOfCosmicDust (Zinnia Su) is quoted in this article expressing her lack of confidence in Fran Drescher as head SAG-AFTRA.

https://www.thenation.com/article/society/fran-drescher-sag-aftra/

Drescher was put in her leadership position by a faction of highly-paid lawyers which spends its time—in its role as union staff—taking power away from the members of this member-run union.

So Drescher's poor response to the #WGAstrike should come as no surprise! (alas!)

(Z was on the Seattle SAG board for a couple years & ohhhh what a shitshow) #SagAftra #Seattle #PNW #ActorsOfMastodon

Anyone in the greater Seattle area who likes spaced-out rock music,

I'll be playing at the new TIM'S TAVERN in White Center tonight, on bass with Jack Endino's epic improv trio BEYOND CAPTAIN ORCA!

... was expecting snow around midnight but got high winds instead.

today was clear & sunny, then abruptly around 1:30 we got (in quick succession) hail, sleet, rain, snow, hail;—more clear & sunny;—more hail, snow, hail again;—a few blasts of THUNDER;—and now more nothing.

whee!

rain no cats & dogs
on you, to the contrary—
here we drizzle & sigh

The #soundtrack to Clyde Petersen's years-in-the-making epic documentary of the band called #EARTH — "Even Hell has Its Heroes" — is officially out today! I just purchased & downloaded via #Bandcamp & can't wait to listen (let alone to eventually finally see the film!)

Redwing blackbirds at the beach this week & I can't decide if they're back super early or haven't left yet.

so far only quibble with the #book I'm reading: McNeil Island Prison is in WA, not CA. Shutter Island represent!

We were listening to ourselves in the car tonight & remembering how much fun we had writing, rehearsing, recording our music. This one (as with most of our music) is an effort to recall rock&roll as fun, energetic, ecstatic, silly—ala Link Wray in his henhouse, or Huey Smith & The Clowns.

King tide yesterday. Local beach was underwater this afternoon. Gorgeous though!

apropos of not much, this is probably the best demo to come out of our home studio so far—also one of the catchiest songs I've written in a while. "Squash" might be catchier but Z wrote that one in her sleep, I just transcribed...

Unclear if this will be a Trash Panda Go Kart song or a solo 5 track—the difference is subtle anyway since it's us playing & singing regardless! 😂

Snowy day.

I just walked out in the dark to check the mail, an eighth of a mile down the lane, and the big maple leaves are frozen all over the lawn. Z came out for a minute and we stomped and crunched and giggled.
