You know there aren’t many web pages in which the Pillsbury Doughboy and The Vivid Girls appear together? There’s probably a good reason for that, but it’s a peculiar fact I’m soon hoping to remedy. In fact, I just have, simply by typing these words. Isn’t the Internet weird? So, yeah, I’ve been gone. Last […]

The other day I promise Danny to print up a copy of The Last Hit for him so he can pass it on to someone else who can pass it on to a magician somewhere who can wave his bejeweled staff and cause it to open on five thousand screens nationwide. When I get home […]

Liquified sez: John has decided to put all of his energies into the show at the Mayan on Wednesday, and will not be appearing at Amoeba on Tuesday. That’s a nicer way to put it than, “John’s got a head full of phlegm and British Airways won’t let him on board.”

If moods could be described in terms of the animal kingdom, mine could be described typically as a marsh wren, or perhaps a tree squirrel who’s just discovered a forgotten cache of nuts. Sometimes, I’d liken it to a tufted titmouse. Today my mood is more like a rampaging bull elephant on whose back rides […]

I’m on the corner of Cahuenga and Sunset headed for Groundwork for some coffee and a few minutes in a chair. Supervisor MELISSA has followed me. She’s on her way to get cigarettes and coffee. I like Melissa, so I say I’ll see her at the coffee counter. She joins me later as I’m getting […]

When one starts a blog, one has to decide whether it is to be public or anonymous. I chose public, because I wanted to use it to keep people informed of my weekly happenings. Anonymous blogs allow the writer a great deal of freedom to rant and rave about personal issues in ways I can’t […]

I promised a couple of tunes the other day and I got kinda woozy again, so I ended up not posting them. Here they are. I’m posting two of them because they’re so far apart stylistically that it only makes sense they appear together. Lightning Bolt is not so much music as it is a […]

Just wanted to add a little bit to the earlier post about applying at Amoeba. Someone told me today that we get at least a hundred applications a week. … I just want to know where they stack them all. P.S. Starting to feel better. I’ll get back to writing tomorrow. Got a couple tunes […]

That’s because I’m sick. Regular program rusumes soon.

So what does it take to get a job at Amoeba, you ask? Amoeba employs over two hundred people. At any one time there are as many as one hundred people on the clock. So it would seem that getting a job there would be easy. But that depends. So what’s required to get a […]

My friend Steve just got a job here. But that’s not why I took this photo. I just like the light.

Blogging comes naturally for some. The simplicity of point, click, read, obsess appeals to more and more people every day. It’s a nifty community with endless possibilities. But have you ever tried to talk about the habit in conversation? Unless you’re with another obsessive blog-surfer there’s just no way to do it with grace and […]

I worked a short time as a script reader. I only read about a hundred scripts, but no more than a handful of them were written with a modicum of confidence, style and ability. The rest were various shades of horrible. A script reader is the second of many hurdles separating a screenplay from production. […]

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while. Oregon deputy Bret King has begun a project he calls the Faces Of Meth. He’s juxtaposed before and after photos of some of the more intense meth-addict cases to come through the Multnomah County Detention Center. Take a look at them here. When the horror subsides […]

One of the studios hires the Goodyear Blimp to congratulate its nominees while a plane tugs an Entertainment Tonight banner around the Kodak theater.
