Blame It On Steinski

The April Tour, or “A Wand’ring Minstrel, I” (Download link to the Moscow set)

So, I was on tour almost all of April. It was supposed to be three weeks – two of them booked by superagent  Linus in Switzerland, and one booked by the gents at ChoiceCuts in Dublin. And if it hadn’t been for the golly gosh darned VOLCANO, it would have been smoove as silk. Oh well. Force majeure and like that.

First night in, I played RapHistory night in Basel, with the theme of 1980. Not…

A rare domestic gig

I’m happy to announce I’ll be playing at the RE/mixed media festival 2010, this coming Sunday, May 30. It’s inside the Galapagos Art Space in the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn.

It’s a most-of-the-day affair, with all kinds of rambunctious communicating going on. I’m  playing a  45 minute set beginning at 10:15 PM.

I’m laboring away on a set of funky underpinnings, interwoven with spoken…

A political post that doesn’t count as ranting and raving because it ends on a sane note

A short explanation: when I began blogging, during the second of George W. Bush’s terms as “president,” I wrote because I needed to vent my considerable anger and frustration. My style (a generous term) evolved since I’d noticed something about the various Republican regimes that had ruled since Reagan – they always had a few (or more than  few) raving nutcases that they kept around to make the rest of their lunatics seem sane. In Reagan’s cabinet, for instance, there was James Watt, a Secretary Of The Interior who wanted to sell all of the country’s natural resources, privatize the national parks, and cut down all the trees, because “Jesus might be coming any day,” and what was the use of a few birds and squirrels?
