Just posted some shows last night for the
TEXAS TRIP TWO-THOUSAND TEN!

Really, we're that excited. Right now it's 5 shows in 6 days, and I know what you're thinking: "Damnit! By the time I see the UUnit they're going to be exhausted and over-rehearsed! I might as well just buy 3 of their Cds, play them all at the same time on strategically placed stereos, and consider this unique personal performance a hexaphonic masterpiece."

Well I've got news for you, person!

We ain't gonna be exhausted because we're going to take speed! And we ain't gonna be over-rehearsed because
wwe're nevva guuna practize!TM *

Now: buy the cd's and do your special performance, and then come to a show in Texas**.

Weird: this might be ‘secretly’ turning into a Yip Yip tour. We have had pizza three times in three days, and three of these pizza-fueled days have been on tour. If this trend continues, I will have to start taking pictures of the slices. You’d be amazed what passes as pizza. Incidentally, last night during an impromptu “interview” I was asked to fill in this blank: “Pizza just isn’t pizza without _________.” I answered: CRUST.

We are driving out of Pittsburgh now. I have been meaning to update this for two days, but, sadly, have been having too much fun to do any of that. The process of writing on tour is funny= I always think there will be time In The Van (ITV). Much can be accomplished ITV, for instance, to my left we have Tom, who is constructing a graph of some kind. He and I are both attempting to keep up with the school side of things whilst touring, so a lot of schoolin’ happens ITV. It is also a good place to read, make sandwiches, listen to tunes, stare outside, and sleep. Right now Dustin is driving straight into the morning sun (7:45 am) with a windshield covered in dead bug smash stuff. Guts, right? Its nasty. Ohh. Scary. The driver is pissed. Lets talk about something else, shall we?

Last night’s show was fun, yet awkward as many of Manny’s shows seem to be according to our own experience and the combined, conversed about experiences of people at Liz’s & Dean’s house. The band slated to play first were already all set up when we got there, and they proceeded to rock really hard at the word GO from Manny. They were called Shallow Palace from South Carolina. “Nick Painter” was next (two dudes). They played covers & then left. Next was the kid Dean, who played one of those screamingly sweet electric guitar and drum and loop pedal sets that we hear so much about these days. He played violently intense and surprisingly well organized compositions, which were difficult to discern any lyrics from. Probably something about bleeding internally? I really liked his seemingly-destroyed keyboard with high frequency settings that sounded much like a swarm of electronic bees caught in a shitty amp that was plugged in for the first time in a decade. At one point the pizza was acquired, and duly consumed. I had one square piece, which was like a dough pillow with a sauce & cheese hat. I met a lady from Liberia at the bar next door where I bought a six-pack of Yuengling (sp?) for $8. We set up on the floor, and once getting the kids warmed up, had a good dancing time and got really hot and out of breath. The air is hard to breathe in Pittsburgh, so be careful if you are a singer. You might want to lay off the smokes for a week before showing up. Let me see if I can remember the set:

Hum Jam
Berry Can
Ezra Pound
Jap Dad
Shark Suit
Pamphleteer/Sagansong?
--------------(new)
The Sun
Trapezeus

We stayed over with the wonderful friend family of Dean and had a pretty neat perspective on the ‘Burgh, from the roof of the house. I was told about the G20 protests by people who were actually there, and could see the “Cathedral of Learning”, which is a huge tower which contains part of a university. It was far off, but looked huge. Some of the kids on the roof said they had been teargassed and chased by the police. One said that he didn’t protest the first night, but did the second because the huge police force and the previous night’s brutality seemed like an immediate reason to take to the streets.

this little kid holds a shovel up to me and says "i shit myself"

i invite him to garden organically next time

favorites. it depends on the moment. this is not algebra class! things change!

it is not a lie that is the story about a tree growing in a man's lung

living things are, really, everywhere.

where are these huge pipes going? why do they have dials on them? why so much dust?

not even cobwebs creep me out anymore.

not even mummified mice.

just people's problems, because of society.

if you are the guy who has a tree growing in your lung, don't think i mean you.

i think that tree in the lung problem is natural, not societal. uncreepy.

most of the tomatoes are slop now. so far gone that they explode the second you try to pick them up.

their skins just rupture and burst, heavy insides outside now

all over my apron, i stagger back into a stack of broccoli.

some professor i vaguely recognize is shopping carefully carefully.

there are maggots in the walnut skins out at Prairie Hill, and a girl calls them "manics".

The caption which accompanied these two images reads "The diagram was used to teach music to the natives"... A statement which, when couched within the original context, (these photos being of Mission San Antonio- in California) passively suggests that the natives had not yet discovered music until the missionaries arrived, laden with culture with which to "educate" the native populations. Music that is unique to individual cultures is unspeakably valuable. So much original, truly unique music that was made by cultures that are now extinct has been lost; traditional songs and rhythms replaced by songs distributed by missionaries, passed down from hymnals, no longer reflective of the unique experience of being particular people with their own mythologies, histories, languages, etc.

Other Findings:

*While I am in disagreement about the arrangement of fruits on this plane, I do think that it is a nice way of organizing comparisons. From:

I wasn't able to watch this with sound at first, which was an interesting limitation. Want to play around with this:

His book: Arboretum was at Emily's house on the Victorian Looking Couch.

Drove into Jacksonville late last night, just in time to set up and be told that we had 20 min to do a set, and should get that going in 20 min. Lots of people lazily propped in cavernous bar, capacity 5 million. As I am settling in to wait until we begin, I see Darren moving quickly toward the back of the bar, his pace indicating a rush, which meant "TROUBLE". I zone in on the situation, action marked by flashlights spinning near the non-entrance where we loaded in.

Darren overtakes me, with the sound/promoter/mastermind guy in tow, who extends a key to the door and lets in the first of about 20 D.A.R.T. S.W.A.T. F.B.I. COPS, who proceeded to Raid The Club, evacuating all show-hopefuls to the street, where we all stood huddled, sifting through the clutter of conversation for some answers. More battle-attired officials (now a few with anonymity masks) swarm inside, all visible windows lit wildly with flashlight beams lasering each surface, sweeping up walls and into corners. Bar staff can be seen unscrewing light fixtures and opening fuse boxes, WHERE ARE THE DRUGS MOTHERFUCKER.

We were told to remove our gear, we loaded out into the van while people still loitered for information, got given 1/3 of our promised money and got the fuck to Orlando. When we left the club, a notice had been posted on the window that it was slated to be DEMOLISHED.

have fallen behind with updates, but have not FALLEN down except for in ecstasy over seeing the oft longed-for faces of emily (in NYC) and christopher (in Providence). nebraska gatherings east coast style seem right proper. should be doing big dinners before each show with everyone together. hard to organize, though.

right now i am blessedly sitting at alex svoboda's giant of a house where ten people live and every single inch of it is wonderful and inspiring. BIG GARDEN. big whiteboards for MEETINGS. big poster about break dancing.

our show last night at the art space and bar and taqueria (i saw no tacos, boo-hoo) went pretty well, with a lot of rain on the streets and coming from the sky.

holy hot damn NYC was the shit. i need some questions to answer about it- there is just too much lodged in my brain now to siphon it out sans some order. maybe after coffee- it is pretty early here. here's a brief scatter:

elliason yellow lemon light sculpture mirror octagon inversion dance of yolur face fifty times/times square breaking brain flood pictures and sculptures>>can candy speak?>>weird boats with no river>>an active room play making music with the omnipresent david byrne>>firehydrantkiss on the blue reebok squish video/jumprope brooklyn giant leap over/manhattan bridge waker with china town in mind..golden king..backyard painting//watermelon//moving chairs//missing the action.. no accident.

one point i'd like to make immediately is that we played with the band "zs" and they pulped my expectations of live shows with their sonic blenders on at different speeds until picking the sax out of the mix was a pleasure and playing with them again in baltimore a SUPERTREAT.

http://www.zzzsss.com

following the link "projects" is fun if you have ear-time

going for a walk now- - - we passed a HUGE castle.

late update (OLD) but forthcoming NYC new!

2008-06-16T06:11:00.001-07:00

talk about finding some ways to respond to new situ'z- like applying a damp cloth to wounds

same cloth, different wound- different reaction

self as cloth?

uncanny!

It is hard to make plans for a place iIve never been. A plan about the bottom of the ocean? or a coral reef? try and try!

Rochester still! A comfortable street, a cute couple. a door that closes without sound. Just enough sound. Gardenias and no but NO litter. Oh wait, that plastic bag did fall out of the van.

A tall man with a hat sings from the window- top of the house- bringing the bird to him. Softer thunder than i've ever heard, rehearsal for a real storm-trauma.

It is helpful to imagine a bridge. It is helpful to surrender to walking over it, not knowing what is on the other side. You might bring a crossword puzzle for the 20 minutes where the only part of your body that will move is your hand. There had better be a pen in that hand. You had better listen to 'Giggy Smile' by Faust over and over again or you will never forgive yourself. You had better see resemblance in faces you'd never guessed. You should guess and guess and guess.

Some said to me: you can go to New York City wearing "A fuggen snowsuit and flippers, yellin' about Porno" and nobody will give you a second glance. Or light yourself on fire just walking down the street.

Only Buddhist Monks get any attention for that.

You should find out if Sociologists over 30 who are still interested in Youth Culture are just kidding themselves.

You should check out the Wetlands in Pennsylvania and New York.

You should continue getting so excited that you nearly pee in your shorts.

I am writing fortune cookie lines.

I PROMISE NOT TO EAT SARDINES IN THE VAN IF DARREN PROMISES NOT TO OFFER ME A "LINE OF MEAT DUST" TO SNORT WHEN HE IS FINISHED EATING BEEF JERKY. (and pick up your wrappers)

I am finding it hard to write about the shows themselves. Here comes the BIG rain.

I am going inside to wake those dudez UP.

Maybe I can get someone else to write about the shows. Are you interested in hearing "how the show went"? Do you want to see the spreadsheet about LP sales?

We have sold No Tees.

it will spring up on you

played last night at Garfield Arts in Pittsburgh- the place is run by a Manny who made a funny joke about Ginko trees and Stegasauroses. Well slung between three different neighborhoods, the venue was a long rectangle with some art on the walls. SHORT STAGE! So I came down and danced a lot during the set. Sold a record to a super fast dancing kid who was sweating TONS.

Went to a Kareoke Penthouse and thats where the shit gets tricky.

First show is done. It happened at a place called BEAT Factory in a nondescript shopping spot and loft laden portion of Chicago. A burb-burrough? (I know nothing of the terminology which describes big city levels and tones.) It makes me feel very small potatoes, you know?

Not a big turnout. They fed us dinner though (I had "beat salad" which included pears and pine nuts and bacon (asked for no bacon) and some kind of cheese (asked for no cheese). We played with a band J+J+J. I wonder what is going on with the "rave" thing right now? I can't tell if its coming in or going out, but it is totally unstable. The stage was big and the room was big and the merch sold slightly and the carpet was dirty so my feet were covered with what appeared to be black tar of some sort. I washed them in the sink in the bathroom basement which I definitely could not have done if the fans from the early show had still been there because they were terrifying and used way too many paper towels.

THE MUSIC IN THIS FUCKING PLACE IS INVASIVE TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT MY HAIR FEELS THE TWISTED HIGH-VIBE OF THE TUNES AND REACTS TO IT IN A LATE NINETIES STONER FASHION- "ROCKIN OUT DUDE" WITH THE LEVELS PEAKING AT "WHAT THE FUCK EVER, SMILES FOR MILES" HANGING OUT OF MY HEMP ROWBOAT "WITH WOODEN BEADS ON THE ENDS." OR MAYBE THIS IS THE LONGEST BUS RIDE HOME FROM FIFTH GRADE EVER.

Ok, more "the show." It was a hot and sweltering night, made more sweaty and insipid by the 800 or so fans of "Kill the Lights" and some other rock outfit created by the devil and sent to play in Chicago right before us. The crowd stunk of bilateral hair arrangement devices, These I Saw in the Rest Room where I was "over and over again" wrapped with paper towels and sprayed from behind with aerosol cans. I tagged stall #2 up good for that unwonted debauched shit. Cris Stoll came and we flicked words at each other for a while. He still calls himself a writer when people ask, which was exciting and hilarious, especially when it came to me explaining my "identity crutches".

Nate also showed up, we stayed with him. What a total asshole.

City level note "Wicker Park" was visited today, and with relief I realized that I am for sure NOT a hipster.

Now I am going to drink hard liquors with Darren across from the venue. Maybe more later? DOUBT IT.

Love, Teal

I've only been awake for about five minutes, since passing out COMPLETELY (head shoved at a rolled up sleeping bag, legs bent loosely at the knee) after leaving Omaha where we dropped off some records, had pizza and (huggingly to Chelsea) got the fuck out.

There goes Casey's General Store "Hoe-made Pizza To Go" Semi Truck, and a shrug of Canada Geese.

Oh yeah! The vinyl looks britching-g-g-. Micah Shmeeds did the optikal art of the week for the cover, and it practically looks 3-D or hidden picture or whatever. The back has a fan letter we got from this freaking girl. You'll see. I still haven't heard it through the needle though. But soon.

Hi,

I'm Teal's brother. I might be posting stuff up here once in a while.

My track bike has a UUVVWWZ vinyl sticker on the downtube.

Spending the little time today that have somewhat quiet to fix and make blog possible.

Standing at mom's house about to have dinner and wondering "what to take on tour" and "have you even seen the insides of my suitcases lately??" Another thing, how many pairs of underwear to take? Will these sandals hold up? Can I borrow Yet Another Digital Camera?

Is it possible to Shrink People and take them in the van?

Will I be able to keep nonsmoking on the trip?

LOOVE, TEAL
