what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

Sunday morning easy like staring at the wall making an effort to not be informed on current events, to remain unaware of breaking news and to not let politicians be what I think about all day.

The other other day at work, Timmy Jimmy broke out a perfectly-timed and spot-on:

Big Fucking Shit

Right Now Man

And it made me smile and nod and ponder Double Nickels on the Dime and ask myself how long it’s been since I sat and listened to all 43 tracks in a row. It’s been a long time. Years and years. 

I gave track 5 a spin, but today could be the day I zone out to the whole thing at least once.

Mike Watt signed my New Yorker article on Iggy Pop a few years back. He looked at the article photo, said “Ah man I love Iggy. I served with Iggy for 189 months.” Then he wrote on the left pec of Iggy’s photo ‘Mike loves Iggy’. I gave the New Yorker to my friend and tattoo artist because he was the singer in the first small venue band I saw live: Psychic Knot. My life changed that night and without that night I would have never known the minute men or mike watt. Mike Watt only deals in cash and has a circuit of small clubs he plays when on tour. “Served”-his word choice still stands out for me.

word. here's to Mike Watt and Iggy and 189 months. sitting home from work with a sick kid today has opened an opportunity to loop all 43 tracks and cut & paste postcards from scraps of detritus
