this is becoming habit...

hi.
my friend lisa d. has a pretty new radio show in el paso on kama 750 am- it is on 4-6 pm weekdays. i went on it today to talk about being from el paso and why i like it here, etc. she had sito filling in for her, which was great. sito has a brother named arlo. arlo went to el paso high and got me into loads of good music when i was a kid. he was a senior when i was a freshman. it seems weird to say now, but he played me nirvana's nevermind for the first time. when that record came out, we all had a connection to them. they were a pretty small band on subpop records. i sat on the steps and listened to it, i liked it. i am sure i claimed not to like it later when it got huge. being a kid is funny like that, you got to try to be cool, right? well, either way, i can say i like it now, that is what matters i guess.

i hope that i can be a guest again on the show, it is just starting so if you live in elps- try to tune in- 750 am- 4-6 afternoons- it is politics and music and whatever-

i also spent today looking inside of some buildings. if we can figure it out, some friends and i are going to try and make a place for bands to practice and collide with one another. i wrote about it in my column this week. there is a real need for this in el paso, we need a magnet for creation... uh, and i need somewhere to practice too.

along those lines, i am making some room in my guitar coffins- as soon as i figure out how to work ebay i will send out an all points bulletin with info on all that will be up on the auction block- hopefully tomorrow, but until it is all done, here is some photos...
