The eagle has landed! And he brought our stuff with him. The movers unloaded all our boxes yesterday and we spent our first night in our haunted house. The cable guys even hooked us up and I’m logging this on my own rig. That said, it’s still like a camping trip around here. We’re borrowing a mini fridge and using a cooler, no washer and dryer hook up, etc. On the bright side, this morning I received a killer poster from my good friend Keith that uses a zillion figural images to depict one of my heroes, Mies van Der Rohe. We can use that to cover up some of this crumbling plaster. This house is gonna need its own category.
Anyhow… I was pretty excited to get this Tad record, “God’s Balls”, when it first came out. I still really like a few songs, especially “Behemoth”, but overall I found myself getting a little bored. Maybe I just need to listen to it a few more times.
I tried posting this the other night, but it seems that the comment vanished.
First, congratulations on the move-in. How exciting! It doesn’t sound like the Farnsworth House right now, but I’m sure that y’all are going to do a great job on it.
I also wanted to point out that there’s a cool interactive version of the Young Mies Poster by 2×4 at the SFMOMA site.
