    I got back to San Diego late last night, parked the rental car at Enterprise and threw the keys in the dropbox. The drive wasn’t bad, though I probably didn’t need to stop at both Pea Soup Andersen’s and Bravo Farms. Maybe it’s simply because I grew up in one, but I can never turn Read more

  • Hotfoot @ Open Gate 5/3/25

    ·

    Hotfoot finally put out our album in January but I’d swear we had this show booked before it was even written. Nathan’s 50th birthday is in a couple weeks which means the end of his 12 Records Towards 50 project is nearly upon us. I should have gotten him a cake, but I guess a Read more

    Video from last month’s Religion & Art event at Goldsmiths is now online, including this great panel discussion I had with Drs. Harri Hudspith, Nina Danino and Teresa Calonje about Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Avila, Julian of Norwich and of course somehow I ended up going on about Spinoza and Deleuze. Read more

    Zurich in winter is often smothered in fog and low clouds for months on end. Prevailing winds from the north ram the clouds coming in from the Atlantic against the wall of the Alps, and there they stick. Gray day after gray day, in a gray city by a gray lake, split by a gray Read more

  • Hotfoot @ Vernacular New Music 11/18/25

    ·

    Back in June, Nathan Hubbard assembled Dan Clucas and myself to record nine tracks of obnoxious avant-jazz a la Naked City or Universal Congress Of. You’ll hear that album eventually, but if you had made it out to Sun Space in north LA last night you could have heard it all twice. Read more

    ᴛʜᴇ ᴋɪᴅ: Twenty-five dollars gets us going a ways, forty would get us a room for the night. I had to use that other twenty you gave me for cigarettes and a Red Bull for my girl. She was about to pass out. ᴛʜᴇ ʀɪᴅᴇʀ: But I already gave you money for your motel. ᴛʜᴇ Read more
