Tests and discards about to be thrown in the dumpster::

are so blind.

can you not see what's in front of you?
can you not see how your actions affect other people?

You make me sick.
Words cannot express the hatred I have for you.

I want to change my name, just so I have absolutely nothing in common with you.

/ / /

You have the chance to be with the most amazing person I've ever known and you can't even see how damaged you're making them or how badly you're fucking up.

and I have to wonder if you'd even care if you did.

More on the way.
Next stop , Gateshead.. Then Brooklyn, Toronto and Paris in 2010.

For skazat: "Danny Chew is riding his bike to Alaska.
When I told him that he is going to have tons of headwind, he responded "not on the way home." Oh I guess he is riding back too.

I checked his GPS tracker thing that he gave me, he is in Thunder Bay, ON right now. He is going across Canada. That is really far, like 10,000 miles round trip."

*Danny Chew's goal is to ride a million miles

Monday was a pretty fucked up day, for a few reasons that I'm not going to get into. However it ended really good, with an awesome set by High Castle and me winning the best Erin Allen impersonation contest.

Tuesday was an amazing show at Women with Foot Ox, Stephen Steinbrink, Voice on Tape, Kevin Greenspon, and myself. Everyone that played was super awesome. It was so good to see Teague and Stephen again too. Teague gave me his side for the split 7" with Splinter Cake I'm helping him do (so I finally have all the material for it - yay!) and it's so fucking good.

This Saturday is my birthday and I'm going to Disneyland with Margot. I'm pretty excited about this and I'm going to try really hard to not get too emo. The last time I went to Disneyland was with my ex-girlfriend and the trip ended with one of the most haunting things I've ever dealt with. That day is still so vivid in my memory. But I'm going to do my best to keep that in the past and have fun.

If you missed opening night for "No Henge" , you didn't get to see me in the dress Jasa Baka of Parlour Treats made for me.




Wednesday is your last chance to get in touch with the fine folks at Emporium Gallery to make a rendez-vous to see the show.

The return of THE NATURAL DISASTER, a stage of instruments, random performers, unexpected results. Its a jam! Its a sound collage! Its noise! Its everything wrong with the world! Its everything right with the world! Hosted by Matt (Emperor’s of Japan).

Here we are , hard at work on our new art print series:::::

2. Anti-Magic update
-------------------------
While the good news is that we'll have copies of Foot Village's "Anti Magic" on cd for these UTR shows, unfortunatly the vinyl version has been delayed due to the pressing plant running way behind. This means that the release party at Origami is being postponed. Both The Urxed and Foot Village will perform at the postponed event. We should have the new date in next weeks newsletter. Sorry about this folks!
Also, just got an email from Cristopher Cichocki that his music video for the actual song "Anti-Magic" is 99% done. Time allowing, we will debut it at the Upset The Rhythm showcase in LA!

4. New in the distro
----------------------------
Anni Rossi & Whitman collab 10"
This record is a collaboration between Anni Rossi (on 4AD) and Whitman that was recorded back in 2004 in small rooms in both Riverside and Valencia, California on a cassette four-track and until now has only been released as a very limited cd-r. This is a collection of seven songs that were written together by both artists; both lyrically and musically. However, it may not be what you’d expect to come from these two artists, as this record stands on it’s own and sounds very different from the previous work of either artist. The songs range anywhere from mellow ballads lead by guitar, viola and even piano, to upbeat chants driven by junkyard percussion.They come housed in white record sleeves with beautiful artwork by Kristina Collantes hand screened in burgundy ink.

Black Pus
zero: the ultimate beatoff cd
After a series of CDrs and limited vinyl releases, Black Pus (Brian C of Lightning Bolt's solo insanity) releases its first pro pressed cd. While recent Black Pus releases showed the act moving into more and more song/pop/grunge territory, this disc is a return to the early compositional mood. Relentless and incredibly layered (you want to hear lots of drums? you got it.) and packaged in a ton of awesome handscreened art. A must.

tik///tik / naomi split 7"
Long long overdue debut vinyl for THE tik///tik. Deathbomb and tik///tik have a long history that hopefully you have followed, but either way, now is the time to grab a part of history. Not noise. Not industrial. Not noiserock. Not glitchcore. Slightly pop vocal dreamboat. This will be gone instantly.

Oh!
Brian

i am performing in tucson at the hangart gallery on friday july 10th. with stephen steinbrink and foot ox and some other dudes. i thought the boys were going to be able to play because i thought it was a saturday but then tristan booked a bangarang show with kepi ghoulie (which i don't blame him and that's perfectly alright) and then i found out its actually on friday which again doesn't work because haunted cologne is playing at the trunkspace. so now i am going to perform by myself.

but here is the thing... i hate traveling by myself. i really really really want to go with someone. i really dont even care if we know eachother that well, i just need someone to talk to/eat with on the way. so if you want an escape from phoenix for a day or so and want to catch a sweet show for free with me. please let me know.

i took saturday off of work so i can stay the night in tucson just in case i have to travel alone. or even if i dont and you want to stay in tucson that is cool too.

just send an e-mail to majestic.ryan@gmail.com or reply to this or call me if you have my number.

love, ryan

I think I've been sleeping less than six hours every night with no ill effects. I took a nap once. I seem to have continued to lose weight quite easily this past week despite drinking and Matt being >.< at me when I tried not to eat. I learned what a beezy is and got a beezy dress. Watched My Dinner with Andre, Une Femme Est Une Femme and Hable Con Ella, and started reading Palahniuk's Lullaby. I have a dozen new friends who are all really delightful. I'm in a relationship and don't know what the fuck I am doing but he's easygoing and reminds me not to worry so much. I have a bag of overripe mangos to work with. It's a very happy moment for me.

Heading off to Montréal tomorrow to eat delicious food with the lovely heroincookie. Going to interview the Seripop guys as well for my upcoming magazine, which should be a lot of fun. It's been way too long since I was last in Canada; it's definitely one of my favorite places to visit and I know I'm going to have a lot of fun. Eleven hour train ride though, dang. Keep me amused, China Miéville.

Mmm, fresh yogurt.

I took a few pics the other week of posters in their natural habitat here in Montreal.

Montrealers with taste may be happy to know we just dropped a whole new + old batch of prints and a book @ the Drawn & Quarterly store, a place that is very dangerous to our wallets. I think it's one of my favorite things in town.

Opening night for No Henge went off without a hitch , the crew came out and we led them around the room sipping energy drinks and exchanging high fives.

Opening night , especially hometown opening night , is like a wedding or graduation or something for us. It's that big event that we want all the people we like to be there to witness. So thanks to everyone who came out and made the night more interesting.


Our studiomate Alice Phieu took a few behind the scenes shots of us prepping the sculpture at the studio , in between her helping me score and fold. ::::






















Anyone who missed opening night can contact Emporium Gallery to make an appointment for viewing Monday , Tuesday or Wednesday.

DAY 1

The show got moved to Market Hotel due to rain; unfortunately it was hot as heck in there. Not a lot of pics because Polina had the cameras + trouble finding the place. Left before Crystal Stilts because eh. Kid Romance and Little Girls were rad.

DAY 2
Moved back to Broadway Backyard. Beautiful weather the whole day. I got a bit of a tan. Only had the small camera so not great pics, especially at night, plus there was pot everywhere, so. Tyvek canceled, which was sad. Cute asian girl following me around trying to take my picture. Waving at trains. Fireworks going off behind Vivian Girls. Great night.
