HEY!

so, ive just been soooo busy...

doin what, i, uh- couldnt tell ya.

i know theres quite a bit goin on..
writing, demo recording, development..

and workin with our online team to revamp all the pages, and really expand our connections to you..

but at the moment,
i'm sitting in my living room,
gazing out the window into the jungle of a courtyard

just being me.

i wonder sometimes,
how many people are there, out there?
how many dreams,
how much heartbreak?

how much absolute, pure joy?

so, why does a flamingo only lift one leg?

...cuz if it lifted both it'd fall over.

follow me on TWITTER!----->

(and theres facebook, purevolume,
ourstage, iLike, etc. you know what?!

JUST GO TO OUR MYSPACE AND LETS GET INTERNET MARRIED.


~WE FOUND AN ABANDONED CITY
DEEP IN THE HEART OF THE CRYSTAL SEA
THE RUINS,
THEY WERE MARVELOUS,
WE PLAYED IN THE MARBLE
PIECES AND TEASED EACH OTHER.~


back soon,

ok ok ok (a coin for the fountain)

...so, ive been without internet,
while in the process of moving into this awesome old 1920's building in hollywood, but i'm back up and running-

news?

writing constantly,
recording as much as possible,
painting, not nearly as much as i'd like to be...

being crazy... aaalways.

keep eyes, ears and mind open
and tuned to this and all other of my/our pages,
cuz there's gonna be some awesome new stuff comin your way.


for now-

this is a coin for the fountain
and when its gone, its gone.
this is a lullaby,
a kiss goodnight
until we meet again at dawn.

give me something
to remind me
to remember.

if every dream is a wish
then whatve we got to lose?
each moment is bliss
a sweet little drug to use...

if every dream is a wish
then tell me
whats left to lose?
this song, this night,
this moon, this life,
and you.

give me something
to remind me
to remember.

theres one little star
that has kept me,
right from the start...
its a symbol of hope,
through the dope,
the confusion, the scars...

it shines on my friends
like a perfect work of art...
yeah, its somethin to see,
but believe me,
it'll tear you apart.

give me something

a coin for the fountain.

..the last day of the year

Here we are-
The last day of the year.

Its been a BIG one.

Its been difficult and beautiful and joyous and turbulent...

Its been a year

We spent quite a bit of Time on the road,
Workin on new things,
Building our experience...

We had the chance to see a lot of new places, a lot of good friends
WE MADE SOME MEMORIES

And I'd like to extend an enormous thankyou to everyone who has helped and participated...

Palmerston will be workin toward our 2ND record,
Children will be bringin you something awesome,
And I'm sure we'll all have the chance to touch base
many more times in the coming year.
So keep eyes, ears and mind open,
And GLUED to this page for updates.

PALMERSTON WILL BE PUSHING BLACK N WHITE TV
AS A SECOND SINGLE, SO IF YOU'RE IN AN
AREA THAT SUPPORTS US ON RADIO,
PLEASE HELP BY SPREADING THE WORD AND REQUESTING IT.

...But for now,
I'm sittin with Cash on ventura in LA-
(He says hello, by the way)
Its a perfect, beautiful California afternoon,
The sun is shining on this starbucks patio
And all I can say is that I am so incredibly grateful to be alive.

We all have the privalege of witnessing what proves to be,
probably, the most expansive, INCREDIBLE Time in social human history...
And MY EYES are open.


Everyone,
Have FUN.
Be safe.
Enjoy every Living Moment-

May the Sun shine on your face,
May the Wind be at your back,
May the Dice be Kind,
and the Gods turn an occasional Blind Eye.

Happy New Years

a gift

i'd like to just take a moment,
and connect-

i'm at some family's house..
relaxing..
and really just realizing how beautiful
everything is, RIGHT NOW.


we all are alive for such an interesting time,
for the World,
and the most important thing is to breathe
and take the time to Love, and be Grateful.


To really LIVE.


there are those whom i know who are really Living,
and then there are those in abusive relationships,
robbing themselves of the chance to Live...

there are those whom i know are embracing themselves and others,
and there are those who hide from the world.



be good to eachother,
Give, and accept what you're given with Humility...

Smile, and try and make someone else Smile with you.


Share.


(even after the Holidays are over)

ENJOY YOURSELVES,
and ENJOY EACHOTHER.


and know that I Love you.



Merry Christmas,
and Happy Holidays in general.

"Into a valley of the thousand bright flowers"

...so i spent most of the day recovering
from the long night, last night.

we played an unplugged set,
the first with the new bassist, tyler,
as a bit of a rehearsal.
i think we have a couple unplugged appearances
on this next tour, so its good to warm it up.

damn good time.

but i didnt get to sleep til reeaally late
or somethin, so i spent a bit more of the day
in bed than i wouldve usually liked to.

but other than that,
got coffee,
read some ezra pound and kept it cool.

went to malibu to see a friend of mine-

now, i'd like to say...
its so funny how things come and go in this life.

its sometimes sad,
and sometimes relieving,
but its really just interesting all around-
and (because i am who i am) i find it generally amusing...
watching it all move.

some people drift off,
some people morph and change into seemingly
other people, and the connection changes,
some people stay in touch...
no matter what or where their life takes them.

and you never know what lies ahead,
but you can always make the effort.

i was having this conversation with my drummer, gabe,
a while back-
where we sat outside "LE CONVERSACION" (?)
on doheny, drinkin immaculate coffee and eating
the most beautiful pastries-
and discussed life, and plates...
and how some things stick, and some things dont, dig.

i believe we rested on the idea that-
even though sometimes,
what we want to stick doesnt,
and its a drag, we just want to hold onto it-
we dont know whats in store for us...

see, we all have a plate,
and when that plate is too full,
we're just wasting food,
and probly goin crazy from such an overabundance...
or eating too much and just getting fat...
so it only seems fitting, and even convenient,
that if its not part of our feast,
it wont stick to our plate.
(and things that are meant to, do.)

and some things
we're only supposed to have a taste of...
so everything MUST be savored, cuz as i said,
you never know.

and whats even more hilarious is gabe and i,
2 badass, crazy rocknroll motherfuckers,
(me probly making a couple people uncomfortable
with my ink and somewhat abrasive language)
sitting outside a french cafe, gettin deep
over coffee and pastries n shit.

but, in any case,
i do have a good feast goin at the moment...
and i'm definitely savoring, just in case
any of the things or people i care about
are just my small alotted taste.

...aaand speaking of feasts...
someone tonight asked me about thai food-

now, (terri), in los angeles,
the question of "the best thai food"
is a highly debated one...
some say that you have to go to thai town,
some say that you have to go to new york,
some even say, (including my guitarist fernando)
even though it blows me away,
toi thai is the spot-
which is just thai blasphemy,
as far as i'm concerned...
toi is a (or are) cool spot(s), i will say,
for vibe and ambience, and theyre open superlate,
which is always good...
but its hollywood, lets be honest-
what looks the best, usually,
is just a falsefront for something that is
sub-par and overrated.

go to toi if youre lookin to party,
not if youre lookin for
"THE BEST THAI FOOD IN LA", which i will say,
is at a place called, THE THAI HOUSE,
in yes, westwood, on gayley.

this place is outstanding.
its run by an endearing thai family,
its been there for ever, and they never disappoint.

get the mee-krob with whatever other dish you want.
(they do larger portions, and its always good to share)

...but i dont know how many people see this,
and its one of my favorite places to eat,
so please dont crowd me out of a table.

anywayz, thats it.
one of my secret spots devulged,
out into imaginary space.

(also, though, if youre in hollywood,
or if youre a deadhead eastsider,
which i find fairly funny- regardless-
and dont wanna leave the "too cool for the pool"
silverlake/hollywood area,
theres also THAI PEPPER on franklin.
at, i think cahuenga.
its also adequate. thanks K.)

so,
im goin into a bit of the darker, stranger,
"valley of the thousand bright flowers" place,
inside, so this whole blog-thing may start to get interesting.

stay tuned, whatever.
