Mogwai would be nice to see again. I'd be floored just by watching Mount Zion, Polvo and MBV. Oh well, you've won this round NYC(say it in deep villain voice)

NEW HARMONY KORINE FILM.


I read that there was going to be a sneak peak of his new film "Mister Lonely" a couple of weeks ago. Then I heard him on Joe Escalante's show this morning. The plot of the movie sounds pretty cool to say the least. Something about a Michael Jackson impersonator living in Paris. Also the Sun City Girls will be doing the soundtrack! I will go see it of course. I always loved his films. I remember going to see Kids at the Nuart with my friend Dave. Then seeing Gummo. But I think out of all of them I like Julien Donkey Boy the best. Here's the poster for the new film. It opens May 2nd. Maybe they'll play it at the Krikorian in Pico???

AM FLOWER POWER!!

I went to a plant/flower nursery today. I woke up kinda groggy after a crushing live performance by Guppies at Pehrspace last night. Didnt really get too heavy with the drinks because I knew I was going to check out some lovely flowers today. H&H nursery is in Lakewood and its a pretty cool place. We got there around 10am or so and it was overcast and chilly. I took some photos of the gorgeous annuals and perennial's that were on sale. It was nice to see so many beautiful things in one place. unlike say the Montebello Town Center......(I keed, I keed).

PET SOUNDZZZ.....


So this past Sunday we took a trip to the LA Zoo. It was my first time in many years. I really have no memory of the place so it was pretty much my first time. Hot as hell that day too! Here are some pics to show you the caged heat!


I thought I would feel bad for all the animals but it seemed they were being kept well and there werent any morons throwing shit at the beasts. Although I wanted to fling something at the bears that were of course sleeping. All I could see was a cute fuzzy paw with soft looking pads. We went the wrong way and happened to miss the lions. I wanted to recreate the scene where Mr. Furly is mocking the lions. I did see the flamingos,I could have done Terry's bit I guess.

BECAUSE WEEKENDS WERE MADE FOR FUN...


Hello from Giant Pink Cloud! Yes it's Friday and I have a show tonight at Echo Curio in....you guessed it, Echo Park! We go on at 9:30. That gives me time to go get some tasty carnitas from Zamora's on ceasar chavez. If you haven't been there GO! The place is fucking awesome for carnitas. I remember the first time going i saw this sewn together heart stuffed with God knows what just sitting, waiting for its foster owner to take home and devour. I've learned later that its like a type of blood sausage??? And I will warn you, when yr up front paying dont look in the back. Porky is getting skinned right before yr baby browns. Sad but tasty! I'm going to make some tortilla chips and get some gucamole as well. A nice dinner for the cappuccino and I. We are playing a brand new song tonight called "dress form". I wrote it over the vacation and I think it's ready for the punters. I'll write a report about how the night came out. Until then, blood sausage for the win!!
