High Res File

everyone has already seen this photo, hopefully! i had super cheap laser prints available at the merch table. I have like 30 left. If you want them, you can have them for FREE! Just send me a self addressed stamped envelope. Email me and i’ll send you my address: xiuxiushirts@gmail.com – only 30 left…

since the prints are super super super cheap, and who wants that?????? – i put the high res file on flickr. just click the above image, then click on “different sizes,” then click on the biggest one and save it to your computer. you can make your own big prints (print it yourself on your computer, or take it a photolab on a CD and they’ll enlarge it nicely), or do something creative….. i don’t care what you do – put it/print it/ appropriate it wherever – no copyright, i won’t sue you.

other note: i was able to heat up the hummus mold for one minute b/c mylinh was chatting and she just insipidly said “no stop no stop” and it lasted a whole minute in there. YUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

———————————————————

that last post was by jamie if you didn’t “get it”

“hi man” – the “man” is D2

mylinh’s roommates left moldy hummus on the kitchen counter. it’s so gross. i put it in the microwave and heated it up to see what would happen but she stopped it after 5 seconds.

did you know jamie keeps a jar of mold on tour for good luck? it is from rotten tofu from when he was in japan. that was like 4 years ago. it is bright orange like the color of tangerines. i once tried to open it but jamie stopped me and gave me an hour lecture on why I shouldn’t open it. He said it is poisonous. I tried to do scientific research to see if it would actually be dangerous, and not just gross. I got as far as wikipedia. I changed the mold article to say that tofu mold is not poisonous, but when i showed it to jamie someone had fixed it. what a loser. I wonder if i could have died. thanks Jamie for potentially saving my life!

is this going to turn into another “miranda” thing on the blog?

a response to that email that jamie posted:

1) i was not related to any of those people in virginia, so does that mean i shouldn’t care? you cared because it was personal to you. it wasn’t personal to me, so, by your reasoning, I should not care?

2) i was going to write a 2 and 3 but i don’t want to anymore.

3) wait, i will make a #3: email said it had nothing to do with politics – that’s stupid – what doesn’t have to do with poltics? – when you live in a world defined by a politcal order everything that falls within that order is political – the personal is political, wait, who said that? i think a black panther? fuck, i didn’t eat at the black muslim bakery when i was in oakland, fuck!

if the sea level rising is political…
or the birds in the sky…
or traffic on a freeway…
or the clothes on my body…
or the spelling of words…

why isn’t a shooting political?

politics is not necessarily just guerrilla fighters, prime ministers, or those who cheated in the primaries.

on another note, those shirts that were being sold online are back for sale. more coming soon. fuck, i should have got those shirts from this tour while xiu was in LA. get them soon before I am here in three weeks

tres ciento!

btw i’m still on tour. tonights merch table will be south La Paz at the tip of Baja. tomorrow i’m taking a boat to mailand mexico, i’ll try to get to Paracho to set up merch there. Maybe I’ll pick up a guitar while i’m there.

“dude there’s a time and a place. is it really necessary to bring your personal politics into everything? some asshole walked into a school and shot a bunch of kids. my girlfriend’s school, an hour away from my house. so yeah, the situation is personalized. it’s what people tend to do. monday, i didn’t fucking care about people dying in the middle east. just as i’m sure if our own asshole army bombed some iraqi/iranian/whatever familiy’s house on monday i’m sure that family didn’t spend the day grieving for the 32 people cho killed at VT. any unnatural death is horrible, but it’s hard to personalize something that is essentially not connected to my daily life. what happened monday was and is. and it had nothing to do with politics or war, so you shouldn’t have used it as a reason to rant on those subjects. you might as well bring up gun control issues for gods sake. or fucking join the westboro baptist church. i realize i’m going way over the top but it’s just to illustrate that you have to draw the line somewhere. you shouldn’t connect these two entirely separate tragedies, or imply that being affected by them differently shows indifference or desensitization to either. it’s disrespectful and it does “detract from the horror” of the situation, or at least your apparent sense of it. i dunno. if you’ve continued reading, jamie of xiu xiu, know that your band has been a favorite of mine for years. but i can’t figure out how your music manages to stay colorful when your views are so obviously black and white (ZAP ZAM ZOW!)”
