I had a wonderful night after booking my own show in Tokyo. Pirako & Kageo were awesome with their new group Kokuyoukin. Kageo sings, plays guitar & flute while Pirako just rips wearing sunglasses. Such an underrated player. I played 53 mins w/ 3
different loops & had a dear friend in the audience.

My review of Moonlight Flower is up. Act & Yumi as always were super rad; they sent the script way in advance so I could translate & invited Teppen to the final dress rehearsal. Act’s first project for her new company & the 20th anniv. for both. I wasn’t gonna miss it.

PREY DAY: The only holiday I observed this year

Muscled-up MacGyver-haired Nam vet wrecking shop in the smallest Daisy Dukes. Come for Ted Prior, stay for schlock mainstay Cameron Mitchell. Everything wonderful about the VHS action era.
IT’S PREY DAY

on this day in 1986 Deadly Prey was released directly to VHS cassette. the greatest movie ever made? no. definitely not. but is it very good at least? no. but they do rip a guy’s arm off and beat him to death with it.

Ela Minus' return to Elsewhere was triumphant, emotional, intense, beautiful. It's a venue she's played many times over the years, and in my mind, they're forever linked. I caught her last night and had to write about her journey from Zone One to headlining the Hall.

In August, Nagisa Murakami and Maya Akechi released a collaborative collection of songs, writings, poems, and more, called 'Gentle Connection'. A fitting name as both songwriters created a safe space for each other to be vulnerable and tender.

Interview with Yumi Agawa is up at Teppen. Haka & Act Yasukawa helped me get quotes.

Only Yumi could garner loving quotes from Hikaru of #Kalafina & Ichiro Omomo, creator of Mighty Lady, in the same piece.

20 year career in entertainment that will never be replicated.

"Go Birds!", more than just a rally cry for a football team, but a regional greeting you'll hear everywhere near Philly during the fall. An energy of optimism and excitement despite the state of the universe. An energy that defined Day 3 of the XPoNential Music Festival

This was my chance for some experimental photography & also pay tribute to the PNW scene I grew up in.

I was just a young teen when Charles Peterson was in Seattle clubs capturing blurred-out magic for Sub Pop. So b/c of Teppen I found myself in a Seattle club on a Friday night & shot in his style.
