Last week’s show...Check it out!

I love Dead Rock West [http://www.myspace.com/deadrockwest]. Yes, love. In italics, no less. Great band, great people. I first met the guys - and Cindy - in Bellingham over a year ago, sharing a bill with DRW and John Doe at the Nightlight. I'd been looking for an excuse to play with them since and the Scene Bar seemed good enough. If Dead Rock West is coming anywhere near you, make a point to catch the show.

It was also a pleasure meeting the guys from Travel by Sea [http://www.myspace.com/travelbysea]. I'd been arguing about records and baseball with Kyle for a couple of years now, but hadn't actually met the guy. I believe they've got a record release show coming up at the Mint, so if you're in the LA area, check 'em out.

As for us, we had a decent week. We've been playing the majority of these tunes for about a year now and while I'm by no means tired of them, I think we're all looking forward to getting back into the studio come September. That said, it's always nice to take a week or so and remind ourselves that we actually like one another.

We'll be back out sometime soon but, for now, we've got a record to make. See you when we see you.

Are you going to be flying in July or August?
Current mood: warm

If you or anyone you know plan on taking to the skies on Continental Airlines (or Singapore or Copa) then tune into the Country Channel as Sin City Social Club is featuring Dead Rock West's music (and even a little blurb or two about the band)  on the Sin City Social Club program through out July and August.

Keeep your ears open for "Going Home" from Honey and Salt.

Unlike Love
Category: Writing and Poetry

the guitar has been glued back together more times than i can recount
so i named it Christine after a car in a stephen king novel
it rests face down against a chair in the other room
and sings a silent song like a mute siren
willing me to touch

i unconsciously replay again
my outstretched arm above my head,
my hand being crushed and dragged down down down
1920's elevator shaft
the machine descending quietly, gracefully even
without regret or remorse

me, observing and mute
committed to surrender my will to a silent heartless appliance
made of wires and pulleys and a cage of steel and wood

i had been wondering about love and loss
only moments before, unsure, wanting.
and was given this to think on instead:
that i love my life
and i don't wanna die!


throbbing,
a heartbeat in my wrist
it could have been otherwise

the ocean feels right outside my window
an infinite celophane sparkle
with sunlight dancing like water bugs on a pond

i dreamed thickly, a prescription induced haze
like an oil can amber flow
you skated across the floor
in flannel you floated slowly
you came like a warning but did not speak

i heard silence
and i sensed you gliding darkly
i saw flesh disolved by friction and pressure

washing vicodine down with a hot cup of coffee
oh, how it could have been worse
ripped away like love

but unlike love
i would have not been given another dance
