It's been quite awhile since my last update, and hopefully I will do a much better job at keeping this thing up to date in the future. Much has happened since July 28; for instance, I have a serious girlfriend--an artist who likes Os Mutantes. No kidding. My psych-blues band, The Ono's Sextet has recorded a couple of songs, played a couple of incredibly drunk shows, and released our first cd-r. We even have a music video, courtesy of one Jim Dale. You can watch it here.

1. Sunn o)))/Boris - "The Sinking Belle" (Altar)
