This week for whatever reason I\u2019ve been listening to Al Jourgensen and Ministry\u2019s 1991 song \u201cJesus Built my Hotrod\u201d\u009d. The audio \u201cRed Line\/White Line? is the longest, but the video version <\/a>is quite substantial. The sound of a passing race car is in some ways like a industrial-metal riff. The vocals are performed by Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers. \u201cWhere you\u2019re goin\u2019 don\u2019t matter because it weren\u2019t never there.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019m still working on the beach picture that I started near Davenport with Vernon last week. I posted <\/a>draft 1 of the picture a few days ago, and today I finished to draft 2. It\u2019ll take two more layers, I think. to nail it. For one thing, I want some little aliens hanging onto the saucer for dear life. And I might change the color of the rock behind the guy yet again so that he pops out better, or maybe I\u2019ll put a halo around him. Not sure of the the title. \u201cRoman UFO\u201d\u009d \u201cNudists Capture Flying Saucer\u201d\u009d \u201cClassical Painting with UFO.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n

I like how the figures are coming out, they remind me a little of the figures in the paintings of M. Louise Stanley<\/a>, a really great SF Bay Area artist.<\/p>\n

We went to the Jazz Fest in San Jose yesterday, it was fun to see people downtown. They had a lot of stages, with one of the stages actually inside the Fairmont Hotel, where I was at the World Fantasy Con last Halloween. We saw the Pete Yellin quintet, they played great, some Thelonius Monk and Charlie Parker songs as well as originals.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another standout was Mia Borders up from New Orleans with her band. If you go to her site<\/a>, you can hear her great songs off her new album Magnolia Blue<\/em>. And here\u2019s my picture of her above with, I think, her bassist Pablo Gonzalez.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s always nice to get into the street outside the AC hotel, into the August city street. Rock on, Mia, tear it up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
