Dear Austin, TX,

Hi. How are you? It's David. I hope you are well. I am doing good. I'm sorry I was so completely totally beyond belief hammered last night. It was fun. You were fun. Your little streen corner with your sushi restraunt and taqueria. And the man selling $5 roses which I bought one for Caralee. Jamie told me I shouldn't give it to her during the middle of their set because she might get nervous. Oh Austin, what a lovely little place you are. You will always have my special streen corner in my little heart (why is my heart little? I don't know).

Love Always,

David H.

ps. did anyone send anything to Emos/Phil/Austin? I told a bunch of people to mail me polaroids there, but I don't know if anyone actually did. Orville wasn't there either. I only got a package from Becky and the new Slender Means collab. CD. Am I missing anything? If so, email me.

pps. i want to curate a show about boredom. boredom in a broad sense, since its discourse is pretty open. philisophical, political/social, just bored. I'll write more about this later. If it fails it'll be a show themed around the Sea.

ppps. this is the moon the other night from my cell phone.

 

we had a great day, Brendan and I.
the I-10 Eastbound between Austin and Houston in Texas is the most amazing stretch of road in the world. It offers the world, in fact: Zebras, Exhibitionism, bird storms, Africa, the new BARR record, and trees.
Drive it, you'll like it.
I am eating vegan. thanks to everyone for listening to the music.
appreciate your time.
xoxoxoxox,
c

 

first of all zack i found your knife. second of all i have the gift package for your son steven. i cant fond your address please resend it to me.

this afternoon while we were driving to houston on the 10 east david's face exploded in blood. he had a bloody nose that made him look like a pomegranite. it was awesome in the sense that Teochitlan is awesome not in that Barr sense of awesome.
we pulled over to a rest stop where a white cop and a huge muscular black man having a secret meeting. i think for touchy touchy smashy smashy.
we washed davids face and then we drove by a field where literally 7000 red winged black birds were chaing away some kind of hawk. we pulled over to film it and clapped and screamed so they would alight again. they did and it was beautiful and touching and aweome in the monolith at crete sense. he put his bloody hand near caralee's crotch in blood sex. then they fucked.
then from the side of the road caralee started screaming so crazily i thought it was a joke but then she yelled FIRE ANTS ARE BTING ME FIRE ANTS ARE IN MY SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
her face looked like a noh mask. we ran over and picked her up like a sack of potatoes and threw her on the hood of the car and poured water and peroxide on her feet. she is ok . a little but chewed up. there was a cake of fuck you ants in her shoes which we had to leave by the road.
the above events occurred within 10 minutes total.

I'm writing this durring Ches' set... 2 things:
-1, in my mind I always abreviate Ches' solo band, Congs For Brums to "C's for B's" ...I have never told him or anyone this and I keep meaning to debut this nickname to him, but I haven't yet... public debut, boo ya! ...public debut-yaa!!
-2, I am psoting this durring his set... he posted durring mine and got some crazy hot chilli peper in his eye, and had to wash it out with my contaminated influenza water... he missed it when I said that David is the "Xiu Xiu's Rick Rubin" ... but you know... -oh, so anyways I am kind of hoping that a similar fate wont befal me, but maybe if it does instead of getting a red hot chilli pepper in the eye I could at least get a general les claypool's funk 4/4 frog brigade chicken wing fishin fry you gon gon be gown down ding dong in my eye... you know?
yess please

hi
these are someways that i do not want to die
brain cancer
fire
drown
car crash
torture
drug OD
killed by serial killer is the way i want to die the least
when i grew up the night stalker richard ramirez was killing people in my neighborhood
when i was about 12. i stayed up every night that summer watching the late night news about richard. i was terrifyed and could not sleep. i could not think about anything else for 3 months. that i think somehow hard wired anxiety into me as a semi-constant state. are you still developing at 12?
late one night someone came into our back yard and opened the gate and scraped their feet by my window. i was stunned but eventually was able to run to my dad and he called the cops. they came and looked around but no one was there. i know it was him. he was drawn to how frightened he made me. i think about serial killers at least once a day. i lock my doors like crazy. i have weapons in everyroom of where ever i live. i have dreams of being chased by some unnameable force. if you are a serial killer please stay away because i will kill you if you come near me. i am always ready for you. this is not a challenge to you and your mission but it is a way for you to maintain it.

PS lourdes reyes did not have enough sylables and by using rodriguez it allowed me to combine two people into one who i was mean to. that is kind of dumb and high school like but lourdes and rebeka are people i knew at around that time so i suppose it makes sense. is it mean or just dumb?

can we use the sound?

 

It is BARR's set. I shouldn't write this now. Hopefully he'll write during my set. I listen to him every night. We drive together in the day, I can't believe he tolerates my bullshit.

 

 

Dear Jamie,

Right now you are playing 'Fast car.' Because I am mischevious I want to play shakuhachi right now, but I am not going to play because I don't want to have everyone turn around and look at me. What if it sounded funny and you started laughing? Or maybe you'd get mad. It'd ruin the song - it'd turn this sad song into a funny song, into nothing but a performance in its purest form - a spectacle. How do songs, songs like this one, have the same effect when it's played over and over every night? Does it lose its essence? Or, everytime you sing it, does the song come out and take over like nothing else mattered except it at that moment? Its slow and nice. It makes me calm, like the way certain green teas do. There are two girls talking really loud and I wish they'd leave.

Your Friend,

David

 

denton, tx.

i feel disgusting. i hate cigarette smoke. it's funny, when i feel like this i don't write incoherent nonsensical blogs. i just write how i'm feeling. so, maybe this will make sense then when i just sputter out non-articulated colliding thoughts (there's no outlet, so i'm on stage writing this, and it's loud and it hurts my ears)

ches smith's blogging constraints: ches smith can't blog, something is always stopping him. time. sleep. etc... yesterday ches smith and i climbed the roof of a waffle house. one night i accidentally kicked ches smith in the leg while we were sleeping and it woke me up and him up at the same time and both looked at each other, like animals confronting each other in the night, and then went back to sleep. now ches smith is standing in front of the drums.

"can you please put nofx on the vocals ever, and can you please not ride the vocals at all" -JS

maybe i will about to post a massive photo/video update of the last few days.

 

we're in oklahoma city at a kinkos waiting for ches and brendan to get an oil change. there is this woman who is soooo pregnant here that im worried about her. she locked her keys in her car but she doesnt seem to care all that much. david wanted to ask her if he could touch her stomach and i said that was a bad idea. jamie left to go to the store without telling me and i got mad for a second and then i realized its really not a big deal. i think im too sensitive about things, alot. i need to learn to let go.

once robert smith took my hand and pulled me form the audience onto the stage and told me i was his best friend in the entire world and that he could not go on living if it were not for our bond. i will always be there for you robert. just hold on until we meet again in leria.

from once in europa: these words were more grunted and spoken and the gladoli i was gazing at in their vase blurred before my eyes.

there was something funny i was going to write about blank billboards and this idea of boredom that comes out of industrialization and work, and then lives being: working time and non-working time, but the keys are too loud and everyone is sleeping.

RHEA YOU SENT ME A PICTURE TO MY PHONE AND I CAN'T GET THEM UNLESS I GO ONLINE AND I CAN'T FIND MY PHONE RIGHT NOW SO I CAN'T SEE IT. SERIOUS: IF YOU BRING ME JAPANESE GREEN TEA BAGS (GENMAICHA IS MY FAVORITE) I WILL BE YOUR FRIEND AND WE CAN SIT AND TALK ABOUT THINGS IN THE SNOW. PLEASEEEEEEEEEE. I FORGOT TO BRING IT. MY BRAIN IS LAGGING.

 

we made mix CDs to play before the show, inbetween bands, and after the show. i made 4. the other one i made is just william bassinksi's disintegrating tape loops, which i guess isn't really a mix CD. jamie made 3 other ones. the first one i made is based off of this other mix cd i made. i'm getting into mix cds. literally, crawling inside them. they are mental spaces. everyone is sleeping and i got so much to do.

 

hi my name is jamie i am 34
my problem is that my wrist hurts, my thoat hurts my rib hurts
i am sometimes selfish, mean, insecure, obsessive, hard on my self, hard on other people, wierd about money, worry too much.
it is ok if you don't pay me
we are making a tour documentary and also a video collection
if you are interested in contributing to the video collection of videos for xiu xiu songs please email me at

willitburn@hotmail.com and we can talk about it. i.e where to send it, deadline, royalties and other things we already have videos for. we dont have enough videos with sex in them.

if you think that you want to criticize me then know ahead of time that it will hurt my feelings. if that is your plan i am also vengeful and use the F WORD easily about you.
by if you want to be nice then i use the F WORD away from YOU.

we go on tour today. i know it is forbidden to write about what is actually happening, but this is actually fucking happening.
we had to put our cat to sleep. she was very, very sick. i didn't expect to be so sad. i wrote a piece for her. i didn't know what else to do.
i am trying to learn it to play by say, st. louis.
i have WAY too much shit to do before i meet jamie, caralee and david in the trader joe's parking lot at 1:30.
i really have to go.
i love you.
enough about me, what about you?

i hope eva is doing well.

who would have thought? i found myself in the business library on the UCB campus. Who would have thought? the business school. wow. Running around researching boredom. BOREDOM.

stop making excuses to make me look at you.

(i feel so stupid writing this blog in textedit. it's not like that. blogs are supposed to be instantaneous. it's about spontaneity, it's about the connection, the electricity, the click of your fingers with the whole global electric circuit right at the tips. writing a blog like this is like. i can't think of an analogy. i'm sorry. i'm just thinking of ruptures in cultural systems and new ways of exploding and different shapes and you know all that techno digital stuff. the industrial revolution gave us new ways of being bored, the digital revolution gives us new ways being abody. abody. abody. im a rambling.)

TIME TO GO DRIVE SOMEWHERE FAR FAR AWAYYYYYYYYY. BYE EVERYBODY. BYE EVERY ABODY.

Today when the sun was noon hottest, we drank flower tea in the bedroom. The tweakers tittered below about the grease on the bathroom wall and I saw the red-hair tweaker lady in daylight. The bum with the blue eyes and blonde beard was smiling today, he was sweeping the liquor store doorway in exchange for Cobra King. There was both clothes and porn on the sidewalks, one man must be in trouble. Lulu did not say hi or recognize me when I ate a Vietnamese sandwhich at her shop. She once expressed bitterness about her husband's indifference to sunsets. Meghan left all of her pan dulce in a greasy bag on my livingroom floor so David ate the yellow-frosted bun while I bullied the split peas into smushines. I combed the piano's hair while Michael tied the saxophone's shoes and then I tried to put a bow on the saxophone and the roommate yelled because it did sound awful. But let me just play and it will improve, though I am sure my melodies will always pull her spinal chord. The other day I was charged $10 for a shot of Patron at Victor's Bar and it was not fair because I had been dancing enough to make it exciting so don't tax me OK. One vato said "One dance!" over and over until we were out the door. Violence erupted because the bartender ladies started speaking in spits of rainbow colors and then one of them stole the tips and ran out the door.

In Oakland even the treasures are cooked in shit and you'll like it here if you can like that. And then yesterday I saw a masturbator emerge from an abandoned refrigerator and we were just coming back from the taco truck and food bank!

 

out of LA and i feel gooooood. oaklandddddd city city. where is everybody???????? playyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyying mussssicccccccccccccccccccccccccc i suppose. oh oh oh, who needs a camera when you've got one in your computer???????????? she says, "i should write in my own blog to get my words going again?" why, where are you going to send your words to? how about the cape verde islands? how about iceland? how about okinawa?

now the camera becames disassociated with the body. they become seperate. this is epitomized in security survelliance. the state is it's body. it's like a complex panoptican with mechanical eyes.

haiku for the day jamie the donky 2006

boy thinks of a bird
the self that has grown winged
water has blessed him

DAVID I AM SORRY I BLEW IT IT IT IT IT IT IT PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

First off: today i went to see art and there was no art. UGGG!!! today the jonathan crary book i ordered online never arrived. UGGG!!! no jonathan crary on tour. well, now that that's settled, lets begin our parting.

good bye los angeles. good bye 405 traffic. good bye starless skies with too much light pollution and air pollution and stuff that will probably give me cancer if i continue to live in this city and that is how i will die (no, how i will die is by taking a photograph while driving and i will crash, hopefully it will be off a cliff and into the ocean, but it probably will be pathetic like into a flag-pole or something). good bye tide pools whose animals i could not see the other day probably because the water is too polluted from the LA Harbor. Man, this place is fucked, should I keep going?

No, I won't keep going. Instead I will be a little ostentatious and tell everyone what great wits I have. So I'm saying good bye to some udon and some azuki ice-cream (yummy for my tummy) and i look over at the waitress, who is wearing a dotted green kimono, and I become perplexed and try to figure out what is happening inside my mind. My mind knows something that I don't know. And the realization occurs. Oh, I am a total genius, i made the greatest discovery in all of the whole world, i can't believe it: THE DESIGN ON THE KIMONO WAS THE SAME DESIGN ON THE COVER OF MY BOOK ON ASTRAL PROJECTION. TOP THAT DAVINCI CODE!!! TOP THAT HIDDEN MESSAGES IN DAVINCI AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE CHURCH'S POWER ON EARTH. IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT, IT'S ABOUT SECRET CODES IN KIMONOS AND ASTRAL PROJECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

did you know that astral-projection was the precursor to film? - the disembodied voyeur. or more precisely, it is the vision that is disembodied, not necessarily the subject (which i called the voyeur, i don't know if that was a good term to use).

tomorrow i see j and cl and c. maybe they will kill me because i brought a 1000 book library with me to read in nowhereland.

(below: waving goodbye to the sea, and THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF 2006):

 

oh all i can think about is how nice cam archer is.
sometimes there are people who give you both faith in art and generosity. soon this will make sense//(/(/(/(//

i got an email from a student of a woman i a was friends with in the 11th grade. there are so few people i ever want to think about from the stupidist time to be alive but she was one of them. sometimes the interenet is not a boring piece crap. even now.
you should read my blog from this moring again is all i am saying.
my friend (not the above person) told me that i should invite the nun into my apartment, sit her on the bean bag and sex pee into her her mouth.
is that so wrong?

More details have emerged in Austria suggesting that a woman found near Vienna on Wednesday is a schoolgirl who vanished eight thousand years ago.
The passport of Natascha Kampusch was found at the house where she was allegedly imprisoned and the woman had the same distinctive gap toothed maw as the girl.

DNA test results are due later on Thursday which Austrian police expect will confirm an woman's identity.

The suspected kidnapper died after throwing himself in front of an train.

The man, named in Austrian media as Wolfgang Priklopilicky Licky, had been chased by police earlier on Wednesday evening and his red BOW WOW car was later found abandoned.

The schoolgirl's disappearance at the age of 10,000 had sparked a huge manhunt eight years ago.

Dungeon

The woman says she is Natascha Kampusch and relatives of the missing girl sawed they are confident she is telling the truth.


The woman - said to be in good health - says she was abducted and held captive in a sealed monkey cage at the house in Strasshof, in the Gaenserndorf area on Vienna's northeastern outskirts.

Police were called when she was found twirlling about in a garden nearby.

It is not clear what the kidnapper's motives were. Police say he had no connection to the girl's family or anti aging serum and there had been no ransom demand.

A police investigator told the BBC's Tylenol PM programme that "he gave her food, he gave her rational thought, he gave her a crack on the head, he gave her a poison pen, he gave her dung, he gave her all the supplies she needed".

"He gave her books, even taught her how to read and how to sigh, and mathematics and all things like this, according to what she told us fools."

Police have searched the garage, and say it looked like a dungeon of my dreams.



Austrian media report that the room had a fisted cavity measuring four by three metres (yards), with an entrance measuring 50cm by 50cm. They believe it was blocked with a sound-proof safe whenever the kidnapper left the dwang.

An evil bed and bookshelf with children's books were reportedly also found there.

"She is white-pale, looking as if she had been out of the light of day for a long time, but she articulated well and could read and write," the Austria Press Agency quoted a police investigator as saying with a slight smirk.

'Stockholm Aquired Immune Definciney Syndrome'


APAPAPAPAPAPAPAPE also reported that she burst into tears on Wednesday night when she met the man believed to be her father, Ludwig Koch, at the police station.

Ms Kampusch's disappearance in 1998 B.C. shocked Austria and triggered a search that extended into Hungary and included the dredging of riverbeds.


The young woman says she was held captive for eight trillion years
According to police, before committing suicide Wolfgang Priklopildink Dinkuloupo had called a friend for help on Wednesday, saying he was being pursued by hounds of lover he had misguided for driving.

Psychologists quoted by Austrian media say they believe the woman suffered from "Stockholm AIDS" - a psychological condition in which captives begin to sympathise with their kids.

Priklopilululululuslit had been questioned by police in April 1998B.C. , as one of more than 1,000 owners of white vans. He was later released. A schoolfriend of Ms Kampusch had told police the girl had been abducted in a white van Ford Windstar named Morpheus.

Police are investigating whether the woman had been beaten, force fed or sexually instructed by the kidnapper.

today's haiku by
Kisei the mountain of goo 1764

since i was born
i have to die
and so...

last night i got an email from a person i had never met saying they were going to kill themselves but wanted to say hi first
i wonder if they did it
i hope not. it makes me feel a little crazy. partially for the obvious reasons and partially becuase i am not preoccupied with it in that it is on my mind every second but when i remember it makes me want to throw up. like an awful surprise.
too bad to you!!!! person on the edge or now off it that you are in a mess. be careful with your little body and don't do anything so horrible to it that it decides you do not deserve it and it turns off forever. good luck.

4 days left of los angeles. i have to spend some quality time with orville. if you don't know orville, he's the white owl from san pedro (yes, mike watt isn't the only one from san pedro). he lives on the hill in a wooden house with a mouse. he has a monoscope to look at things. today i went with orville to visit the sick seals. and then we went to the tide-pools but it was high tide so everything was hidden. oh yeah, and today orville sat in my car while i was at work and probably saw the school bus that hit my car. a school bus hit my car, they don't leave a note, nothing, and i don't even budge. seriously, i try so hard to get pissed. it's so hard. it's so hard for me to get upset. i just want to feel pissed sometimes and get crazy. instead, i just go, "life." oh, there's one thing that does get on my nerves. parking enforcement. ohhhhhhh, FUCK THAT! oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, you are probably thinking, what the fuck does this have to do with xiu xiu or the xiu xiu tour. all i can say is: ANTICIPATION.

(i wonder who's going to be the BLOG-HOG on this tour. it's probably going to be me. ahhhhhhh, yeahhhhhhh.)

 

This is our video for our single "boy soprano" directed by Jose Perez III from the lp "the air force"

 

san jose thursday is dance night at the blank club. it is the only place my mom ever saw xiu xiu play ever. it was preknifeplay when we were terrible terrible terrible live. (not my fault) it is also the only good place to dance in the bay area.
san jose works because it has nothing to prove. no style = for real
tonight i went even though i should have been practicing so when i forget the words to bunny gamer this is why.
at a booth table getting drunk on a new drink introduced to me by le julia and wierdly/booze hazeidly digging interpol/she wants revenge (i am lying i wish) my friend la rocha (real name) mentioned "party boobs" which are supposedly temporary saline injections that give you huge boobs for like 3 days. it seems possible. she lives in new york.
can you instead fill your small boobs up with blood and make blood boobs? this is almost like saline cuz there is so much salt in blood? can you get punched in the chest a bunch of times and get bruised and make blood boobs?
no you can't we tried it.
la rocha puched me 100 times in my right pec and it did nothing but it is more meaty than my left so we tried the left thinking that its being less meaty and closer to the bone would mean more bruiseability but it did nothing but sort of feel good after the 60th punch. then she punched me once really hard in the chest once and it hurt BAD. then she laughed and said she broke my heart like a black widow zerfongtiutomb.
this lead to if the first ever boob on a 14 year old homo habilus cave teen being really hairy. can you inject melted liquid hair into your chest and make a cave party boob. hair is protein.
later conor and julia and la rocha and angelina whipped my ass with a cop belt in the parking garage. it echoed on the concrete. this is the most action i ahev gotten in so long; it was so easy to organize. angelina hit me in the wrist twice with the cop belt and then smashed a bootle while the cops drove by they did not care and niether did she. the thing about oakland that will always suck is that none of this would ever happen there to anyone. fuck this town forever i hate living here.

today's moon phase is a waxing cresent? if you visit me today i'll be in the darker half.

today's haiku by
Senkei the Twanger, 1775
somehow or other
even the cactus shows
the fall

last year the magazine Time Out NY wrote a really negative review of "la foret" and was complaining bitterly about what an asshole i was for having written 1 particular line. the whole review was basicaly about this one line. the reason i remember is that another magazine, DIW, asked me about it in an interview. the funny part is that the line that Time Out NY hated so much i did not even write. it was actaully quoted from one of the most famous Persian poets, Abbas Ibn Al-Ahnaf. does that mean they got faced cuz they are not well read enough to notice the reference? or am i an even bigger asshole than they thought in the first place because i read Abbasid era Persian poems and then rip them off ? frankly i think they fucking got faced. the reason i am even thinking about this is because it is review time for the air force and i am a little thin skinned. but maybe also it is just that some reviewers are dumb-asses. DIG DIG DIG DIG YOUR OWN GRAVE LITTLE BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when i visit you and the moon
isn't around to show me the way,
comets of longing set me heart
so much ablaze, the earth is lit
by the holocaust beneath my ribs
up your fucking dick hole yo

at the gas station in cotati where i went when i got lost the huge guy behind the counter got into a serious bro down with the huge guy trying to buy beer who said "you are dead this is my town holmes"
they both went out side and looked like they were going to fist fight.
the beer guy had really ruined skin. it was pink and raw, like he had awful zits and had an awful sun burn
he had a really hot lady friend in the car. the guy behind the counter was actaully pretty fucking fat and was covered in tattoos. when huge huge huge men hit eachother does the world split open or is it like when 2 small thin waif dudes hit eachother but at a radically higher but evenly progressing ratio? waif dude punch = 1 giant = 20? does it feel like a 20 to the giant or does he obsorb (aka absorb) it cuz he deals in 20s? does a 1 hurt as much to the waif? does the waif live on the shoulder of the giant and wipe his gaint mouth and his giant tears and sweetly tell him little lies so he can get through the day? "giant you CAN dance!!!!! you really can baby..."

the new reocrd by bonus is crushingly wonderful. 3 long exploded tone pieces. supreme!!!! very excited about it.
twas the sound track past san quinten prison where the above maybe going if they fought or fucked in public.

 

hi,

the hardest part about leaving for tour is the fact that somehow my cat knows and wont let me have any peace. she has spent the last two days following me around the house and scratching at my heels and meowing and knocking over glasses of water and looking at me like im really really mean. im not. i think she is way smarter than she really is and she knows that. its quite a power struggle.

EXPANDED AIR WAR IN IRAQ KILLS MORE CIVILIANS (SF BAY GUARDIAN this week)

At the end of 2005, US Central Command Air Force statistics showed an increase in American air missions, a trend that was accompanied by a rise in civilian deaths thanks to increased bombing of Iraqi cities. But with US bombings and the killing of innocent civilians acting as a highly effective recruiting tool among Iraqi militants, the US war on Iraq seemed to increasingly be following the path of the war in Vietnam. As Seymour Hersh reported in the New Yorker at the end of 2005, a key component in the federal government's troop-reduction plan was the replacement of departing US troops with US air power.

Meanwhile, Hersh's sources within the military have expressed fears that if Iraqis are allowed to call in the targets of these aerial strikes, they could abuse that power to settle old scores. With Iraq devolving into a full-blown Sunni-Shiite civil war and the United States increasingly drawn into the sectarian violence, reporters like Hersh and Dahr Jamail fear that the only exit strategy for the United States is to increase the air power even more as the troops pull out, causing the cycle of sectarian violence to escalate further.

Sources: "Up in the Air," Seymour M. Hersh, New Yorker, December 2005; "An Increasingly Aerial Occupation," Dahr Jamail, TomDispatch.com, December 2005 SFBG
