On January 30, the album I made for Grammy-nominated hip-hop legend Declaime finally comes out (singles January 2 and 16)!

I've been sitting on the masters since Groundhog Day, and it's relief as much as excitement to share this with you.

This was in my town five years ago.

I don't have anyone to tag except you and Rose, but I've emphasized freewheeling/playful energy in my four, to paint a sense of omnivorousness:

The Black Dog, Book of Dogma
BT, ESCM
Tortoise, Standards
Underworld, Second Toughest in the Infants

The other half of my work team left too quickly. She was great.

She paints nutcrackers on the side.

This is music-video me + (on the hat) day-job me in nutcracker form.

Besides this one, I play my album from this year and the one before that for comfort a lot, but that's presumably outside the spirit of the prompt.

The complete list.

Dear mosaic:

Are you also restless?

It was! It was at a placed called the Coffin Club, and Sidewalks and Skeletons was the headliner. The club draws the vibe you'd expect off its name; I think I was the only person not wearing black.

The place has a vending machine with VHSs, tarot cards, and tiny ouija boards.

Susumu Yokota's Love or Die album. To the extent he's known, it's for Sakura a few years before. But this one shows off all his sides better - while being his second straight album entirely in 3/4.

Do you accept post-concert concert posts? Here's me with Jah Wobble after his Seattle show this summer. (He signed my copy of Umbra Sumus.)

Closed my barely-used Yahoo! account tonight, extracting everything of relevance.

Here's me age 20, taken by college yearbook staff. I did a lot of cutting of my own hair in that era, and you can see I did that for convenience and cost more than fashionability.
