I don’t believe in superstitions, but I do all the superstitious shit. I wish on trucks carrying loads of hay and I don’t walk under ladders or chance breaking mirrors. When I see a penny sitting tails-up, I toss it a few feet away. (If I find it again, and it’s heads-up, then it’s fine MORE…

My first day back in California we save a dying bird, and it feels like a good omen—a proper start to a long-awaited homecoming. That day (today, earlier today; it’s nearly dusk now) begins at the Santa Cruz harbor. My father and my uncle Lenn and I take Lenn’s boat out to sea in the MORE…

“Don’t you start me talking/I’ll tell you everything I know,” –the New York Dolls “Feels like fall in the air.” I’ve been saying that for weeks, but it was wishful thinking. “Feels like fall in the air”?

When I really miss home, I listen to Antioch Arrow. I play their records in a row—The Lady is a Cat (1993), In Love With Jetts (1994), and Gems of Masochism (1995). To listen to these albums in the order they were released is to watch a dark flower blooming, a sky going from light MORE…

What I mean by “unbecoming shit” is all the wild and endless onslaught we’re given every day that makes you think things like, “Man, people’s priorities are so fucked if they’re spending so much time with this flimsy, insubstantial garbage.” I see so many MORE…
Into Violence was a very short-lived Blood Brothers side-project. “Short-lived” as in 15 minutes of music, this very EP, released via Three One G six years ago today. The record is over so fast it’ll be done by the time you finish reading this. Not really, of course, but I’m trying to make a point MORE…
