Ok, its over… What next?

Some recent time down at my home from home yielded this mini-video. Lo-fi movie making is my style, baby.

Jo’s new record came out today. its beautiful thing to hear. She puts us all to shame. in the best possible way. and the cover’s not bad too. Been doing a lot of design work for musical friends etc recently – but this one was about as intense as you can get. Jo and i spent many a June night working this to its decadent perfection. Beers, scanning, cutting and placing. It must be said that Ben’s painting is pretty astonishing.

We just had a hot time on Saturday in foggy SF at the Hotel Utah. People dance in SF these days – its a whole new scene. The live debut of the ‘piglet’ (or whatever its called) song occurred too. David and Jonathan ate character food. Genaro came down and brother James took these pics. ok, more later on all this stuff. detail detail.

Check this out too.

i’ve made some progress on packaging. i think Tahiti, he of amazing cut out art and woefully underappreciated tunes should do this. I had all these ideas of intricate psychedelic spiralling interwoven glory with a screen printed spectrum of colour and i ended up with a white stripe. brilliant. But anyway, one step closer to something fully realised. who wants one?

Still snowing here. maybe we need a move to the desert full time. The lightning freaks the animals.

Knocked this idea up while mastering. Stamps and a spray can should see this come to light. Or something like it. Simple. I like simple. Droney music demands droney grafix. This is the first thing that popped in there so this will likely never see the light of day… but then sometimes first ideas stick and all that…
