small things at juanita’s house
Normal service will be resumed shortly. Passion Pit at the Echoplex tonight.
the olden days, up north
Big Sur, 2006.
ocha la rocha covering the kinks
An little itty bitty bit of “Dead End Street” a million years ago at Little Joy before Little Joy went all wronger than wrong. (Seriously, have you seen the new mural they’re painting on it right now? Is it meant to be ironic? What?!) Anyway, it’s from the night when I took the picture that [...]
this is what my accent’s supposed to sound like
…as opposed to this Australian nonsense I’m currently talking.
ditte’s karaoke party
Amazement; stars; flashing lights; public nudity; smoking in a no-smoking zone; bare feet; tequila hiccups; funny accents; private karaoke box. Fun, fun, fun in Little Tokyo. When I left there were girls passed out everywhere. Bye bye, Ditte!
whatever, texas
Someone in Austin is jealous.
L.A.
It’s been a Californian few days, earthquakes and sunshine.
twentynine palms by day
I forgot about these. We woke up and discovered there was still snow on the mountains. The end. [If you're the sort of person who likes pictures but hates to click, you can see the whole silly story here.]
bang art
Bang Art is a gorgeous Italian magazine (seriously, go to their website and have a look), and for some reason they wanted to put me in it. If you’d like to read about me in Italian, you can see the full-size version.
San Vicente at Midnight
Stepping off the curb, one man was whining to the other: “It’s always the same with you. You never do anything different. Everytime you go out it has to be some ghetto-ass Mexican thing.” And the other one replied, “Nah, I just don’t go out looking for dick every night” The first one said, “Well, [...]
the black lips at the el rey
First published by Prefix, along with shots of Static Static, Flowers Forever and the post-Ack Ips nuttiness. Basically, go there to see the whole set. PS—I’m booking The Integratron today. Very exciting.
hollywood dawn
I put this one on etsy today. It looks real purdy printed.
har mar at the best summer this year
Then the cops came and we all had to leave. Muh. Luckily, the epic Videothing.com live-mixing extravaganza broadcast was unaffected, and marvellous. There was much cheering.
ack ips at the el rey
After the Black Lips got me beaten right up at the El Rey but before Non+ almost killed me, things got really nutty for a little while. Never have I awaited a videothing.com update so anxiously. [Some of these were first published by Prefix, along with Black Lips, Flowers Forever and Static Static shots.]
the time i almost fell through a window shooting non+
Immediately after twisting both ankles, getting my camera punched into my face, getting climbed on and narrowly avoiding having two people puke on me at the Black Lips show, I went to see Non+ and nearly fell through a window. It was a good night. [Seriously, you should look at the Black Lips pictures too, [...]
this is why i don’t do washing up
If you flew into a scary desert house in the middle of nowhere full of passed-out crazy people, you’d drown yourself in the sink, too. Even though I was the only person who awoke without a hangover that morning, I couldn’t go in the kitchen after taking this picture. I don’t like moths.
