folks,
d. boon's birthday's
today
yeah!
love from watt
(I start giving birth to my new album today too!)
folks,
a few days ago was leap-day. it was the second anniversary of
that surgery I had to save my life from that fucking illness eight
years ago. it is lucky to have it only come every four years. it is
even luckier to be alive cuz I had/have much work to do and need all
the time I've got to try and get to it. for this I am very grateful.
I'm also grateful for everyone who helped make the japan tiny
tour I just did happen. it was a righteous journey for me, I chimped
a tour spiel of it here:

and now I'm back in my pedro town... that's nice.

people,
I wanna thank everyone for so many kind words about d. boon
you sent me... sorry but I'm real busy recording right now for
email... so much respect from me for black gang bob lee and nels and
studioman jimmy - I owe them much focus.
most grateful watt
p.s. please let folks know about this - I was part of it two years
ago and it was righteous:

Glenn Branca is seeking 80 guitarists and 20 bass
players for his upcoming performance of "Symphony No.13
(Hallucination City)". This performance will be in
Seattle on May 16 for the Seattle Art Museum's Party in
the Park, a fundraising event celebrating the museum's
75th Anniversary.
There will be two rehearsals on May 14th and 15th from
11:00am to 9pm on both days. And a sound check on the
afternoon of May 16, prior to the performance at
Olympic Sculpture Park.
It will not be possible to pay so all musicians must
volunteer their time, but food and drink will be
supplied at all rehearsals and the performance.
All musicians will need to be able to read standard
staff notation and follow a part measure by measure.
For more information contact
glenn@glennbranca.com
and you will be sent a detailed info sheet.

watt's last times playing in so cal before going away
people,
I got these last three so cal gigs before going to tokyo to record for a week
(may 9 - 17) and then start my spring/summer stooges touring (leave for madrid may 28)...
oh, eric mcfadden had a friend take a picture of us when he had me aboard
for recording last week up north, sorry I didn't have it for my last email when
I flowed that shot of me and kit.
and let me tell you all how amazed I was by nels w/his guitar
overdubs w/jimmy recording him during a 'pert-near twelve hour
session this past saturday for my new black gang album. their focus,
determination and creativity was a total mindblow - thank you!
