Please forgive me for the brevity of these notes. My routine for the last few days has been to sleep for a few jet lagged hours, leave the hotel in pre-dawn darkness on a cold coffee/protein bar breakfast and go to the work place. I return twelve or so hours later, in the dark, too tired to do anything. I expect I’ll be evening out in a few days.
Mr. Dwyer is at it again. A new release. I’ve not heard a second of it but put my order in nonetheless.
It’s a good batch of tunes we have lined up here, we hope you dig it. I put the tracks together in a small hotel room in Taipei, Taiwan several days ago. I gave it time, came back to it in Los Angeles to see if it needed any changes made and it stood up. So, off to you it goes.
Remember, the great Pere Ubu will be appearing at the Echo on Wednesday, December 6. I would be there if I could.
Also This Dept.: The LA Weekly is under new ownership. My editor, along with a lot of other extraordinarily talented and dedicated people were fired. I was asked to stay, which I appreciate but chose not to. So, I left. It was a great time and it was an honor to be able to have 359 columns and two features published. Thank you for reading them.
All the best and STAY FANATIC!!!
