VAMPIRE ON VITUS - WHITBY GHOSTS, LANA, DUKES AND FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS.

It’s Monday morning at 6:01 and I’m typing from my desk in Hollywood, seeing my sporadic, painted black nails chipped and skating from that letter to this one. We landed at LAX last night after a ten hour flight from from London, Heathrow. It’s raining here. It wasn't raining there. I just made a coffee via French press and grinder which I hadn’t used in some time as you know, but it equaled 1.2 cups of coffee and that’s near futile at this point so I’ve ordered a backup. I feel like I made it h...

LOVE, LOSS AND THE PROMISED LAND

We’ve decoded so many of life’s mysteries but one that evades us is how to grieve for a loved one’s death. Maybe you have been through it too. Amy is in it now following the untimely passing of her loving father. He left this mortal coil on April 19th, 2023 at the age of 80.

Life leaves us at different states and leaves our loved ones in different ones too. Age and sickness and tragedy and suddenly and slow decline… and tears and sadness and anger and injustice and a hole in the soul that feels ...

SHOPLIFTING IN A GHOST TOWN - PART 3 - ASBURY PARK

ASBURY PARK - JANUARY 8 2022

I’m going to share a draft of a book I’ve been working on called Shoplifting In A Ghost Town over a series of posts. It’s formatted as a journal from American Nightmare’s January 2022 “Background Music” 20th year anniversary tour which naturally coincided with peak Coronavirus Omicron breakout… but that format was just an easy guide to write in and out of cities and memories. It’s broken up into eight chapters which was the scheduled itinerary of the shows… Boston, NY...

UNIVERSAL ORDER OF BLUE MAGIK

It’s 6:30 and and I’m burning an Asphalte Rose candle from Mad et Len and drinking black cold brew coffee. I meant to check in with you yesterday and ask how your weekend went but the days run away like wild horses over the hills. I have headphones on but no music playing yet. I can hear the fountain that needs to be filled and electric heat. They don’t sound too harmonic so I’m going to open spotify and listen to whatever I had played last . It’s Indian Summer and the song is “Woolworm” which I...

IT'S ALL A BLACK CELEBRATION MY LOVE

Typing from bed at six something am after two sips of my recently delivered black goodness and it’s been a week. Amy had to leave suddenly on Monday for a family health related emergency in the midwest and I’ve been trying my hand at perfecting balance. We aren’t ever apart really unless I have an AN recording at Alex’s Mystic Valley Studio in Boston, so it’s been different around here. So much going on and my face feels like it’s going to fall off.

Here’s been my week:

Dropped Amy at LAX Monday ...

RESURRECTION PURPLE RED DEAD C BRADBURY EGG

It’s 6:35 am. I’m listening to the new A Certain Ratio album 1982 in headphones. Spent most of the weekend in bed and have to say I’m feeling incredible now. A real resurrection… or just enough to get back out there and get sick all over again. Thank you for all of your well wishes… The weather is changing for the better and I feel a sense of optimism. Or I don’t actually feel it but I feel like I could feel it soon. I can see a hummingbird and the city is quiet and I’m drinking coffee and the s...

SEX & DRUGS & PSYCHIC THUGS

Happy Friday everyone… I woke up a little before 5 and started writing and realized that something’s off. Maybe I’m sick like everyone else is. Hard to say when even at my best I feel at odds. But still I wanted to share something... Here’s a Cold Cave demo I hope to finish one day. There’s an arsenal of these. Sending your way as part of some purge I can’t understand yet. Maybe after another LP there could be a collection of them.
