the last couple weeks.

shit been good lately... going backwards...

WHITE RING... w/ TODD PENDU, me, U>L>S>A, and NAKO
(photos by the super awesome attic floc from sf station)

more (as in footage from the salem show, gatekeeper, and an mp3 from white ring) after the jump.

TEARIST.

a week ago today i was high as fuck on sizzurp and drunk as hell on whiskey and tequila trying to hold shit together and dj... it was an amazing night... nako and oOoOO both killed (as usual), rezound was in from new york and he totally fuckin' brought it... but tearist (pronounced tear, as in to rip, ist) may well have kept me alive.



go pick up tearist's record here.

tearist-headless mp3

thizz faced in L.A.

i went to L.A. last weekend to play for pendu disco's first west coast outing at show cave... also swung through and did a set for killing spree over at medusa lounge. the whole experience was nothing short of perfect. a meeting of like minded individuals from across the country all dedicated to bringing some new shit to kids... art, music, fashion... the shit we all been doing for a long time is being recognized right now, and we jus' gonna keep spittin' it. black is, was, and always will be the new black.
above is just a vid of sarah from killing spree hanging out with a rat named dreamcatcher... and disaro taking a much needed nap. i was high as shit on e when i taped this so... yeah.
and here are some performances show cave after the jump.... king dude and chelsea wolfe.

new orleans... n'awlins.

putting together a new audio/video project called POSE... POSE is to be an extension of the noise sessions i host in my tiny little cottage here in SF on a somewhat regular basis... audio and video manipulation and production... live and sample based creation using various elements in open dialogue. er some shit... basically a band... but a lot of the pieces incorporate visual elements... it may or may not make more sense as it progresses... regardless...
here's a little remix we got to do for former ghosts.
def stoked on this whole deal conceptually... as former ghosts is itself an amazingly realized project from the mind of freddy rupert (this song is a mess and so am i) in conjunction with other absurdly talented, often far-off artists like jamie stewart (xiu xiu), nika roza (zola jesus), and yasmine kittles (tearist)...
freddy sent me the stems for this track a decent while ago... but i've been a bit overwhelmed with gigs and life as of late so it took a second... homeboy said he diggs it. maybe you will too?


NEW ORLEANS (P0SE remxX)- FORMER GHOSTS (P0SE)

...incidently the photo in the beginning of this post is from a photographer by the name of richard misrach from a book entitled destroy this memory... it's an interesting look at the aftermath of hurricane katrina... less morbid than most... but definitively heavy. he gave a lecture i attended at my wife's gallery sf camerawork.

being busy is it's own kind of drug... sometimes stimulant, sometimes depressant, sometimes hallucinogenic...120 MINUTES MIXTAPE

so google is a bitch and keeps taking this tape down fer no good reason... but peeps keep asking me  to put it back up... so here we go again... this is the original post with new links fer the download... tracklisting is embeded in the file.
me and oOoOO are gonna be doin' a new 120 mix soon... 

sorry it's been a second... and then some. i've been working on a lot of projects. one of which was this mixtape. i actually finished it weeks ago, but again, the overwhelming crazy that is my life as of late has kept it on the back burner. but here it is, in all its random glory... the particularly amazing part is that side b was mixed by none other than oOoOO... yep that's right, one of the high priests of "witch house" has helped to bring you a fabulous romp through crazytown filled with everything from creeptastic meena kumari remixes to...



120 Minutes is a club night i'm throwing here in san francisco... a video dance club and showcase for independent music... on august 28th LIGHT ASYLUM is playing... it's gonna be absurdly amazing.

my friend brian did this as a b side to my witchtape awhile back, and i can't get several parts of it out of my head... so as with everything else, i figure i might as well post it here...

nina hagen- witch dance
aphex twin- logon rock witch

...and here is a protection chant to protect you from evil... you should do this before and after doing spells... visualize your self sitting in the middle of the pentagram, facing upwards with 3 circles of purple light round you
and say: "THRICE AROUND THE CIRCLE'S BOUND SINK ALL
EVIL TO THE GROUND"  say it three times and end it
with "SO MOTE IT BE"
word.

Chili pepper seeds are wonderful for protective magick and repelling. Wash them, let them dry out, and then place them in a
little glass jar with a lid. Bless your seeds in any way you wish... Make a label for your jar that reads whatever you like.
You can use the seeds to banish negativity from your home whenever you feel the need.
There are two methods for this:

1. Sprinkle a few seeds around your kitchen or home and then vacuum or sweep them out the back door. (it's best not to sweep toward your front door as you might remove your homes luck.)
2. Place some seeds in a mortar and ground them to a powder. Sprinkle the powder where needed and the proceed to vacuum or sweep up. Discard out your back door.

one of my favorite witch-house (drag) projects right now is oOoOO... and lovely enough it would appear they are based out of san francisco. me too. now i just need to put together a show for them.

oOoOO-no shore (mp3)

random weird... one of my favorite blogs, black pyramid, did a post on me.
