A few weeks ago I discovered a pair of old Gameboy SPs in my garage. Feeling inspired, I replace their batteries and eBay’d up OG Pokémon Red and Blue and a transfer cable. Who in the Austin / Cedar Park area wants to go on this journey with me??

Yesterday I visited my parents and gave my Mom a copy of our single. She loved it inside and out but my Dad was… less than supportive. It’s genuinely comforting that no matter how many years pass I’m still the same little artsy-fartsy weirdo making him uncomfortable.

It’s a crime, A CRIME!, that in this day and age of HD quality graphics and state of the art visuals that we still don’t have a Final Fantasy game with characters rendered in the gorgeous style of Yoshitaka Amano.

This Western Threads flyer is one of my all time favs although I will concede that converting much of the relevant information (date, lineup) into a homemade cipher is somewhat impractical. Oh well. Some of the best artistic decisions are based on intuition.

My grandfather AKA Poppy AKA my last living grandparent passed away a few days ago. Two grandparents in six months. Emotionally I’m fine although my feelings are generally fluid. I miss you both.

A CRUEL ANGEL’S FRONTMAN.
I couldn’t resist draping myself in the Evangelion “Boys Don’t Cry” shirt at our in-store performance.
“I mustn’t drop my pick, I mustn’t drop my pick…”

Currently watching “Dèmoni” by Lamberto Bava. The plot concerns a ragtag band of squares and punks coming together to fight a mob of demons in a German cinema. All that said the most surreal thing is this ginger witch cosplaying Buddy The Elf before turning into a six foot Rumpelstiltskin.

A very misty, moody walk around Austin, Texas today. Perfect weather for listening to the new Mogwai album. See if you can find the special tiny detail in the last pic!

Today’s find is “Eisiger Wind” by LiLiPUT courtesy of @endofanear ! I typically think photos of the band are the laziest of all cover sleeves but I’ll make an exception for adorable Swiss weirdos.

First bathroom selfie of my life. I usually avoid these acts of vanity but how often do you find an Ingmar Bergman poster hung so tastefully above a urinal?

Oh no! RIP David Lynch. I’ll be seeing Mulholland Drive (my favorite of his films) at @austinfilm NEXT SUNDAY (1/26) and I have an extra ticket for anyone who hasn’t seen it before. HMU!

I never realized there was a “Western Threads” radio playlist on Spotify. Courtney Barnett, Elliot Smith and PJ Harvey… it’s a long list of artists who’ve been ripping us off for years!

I’ve only just now discovered, after living in my current home for over ten years, that the cemetery from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is less than a five minute drive away. I pass it all the time!
