Finally, back home

Got back to Texas Monday evening. It was odd coming home to a house without our dog, who was put to sleep while I was on tour, but it was relieving to be home nonetheless. After weeks in cold, gray climates, to see the sun, grass, and trees in bloom instantly lifted my mood.

Anyhow, this week I’ll be sorting through my record purchases from the A.C. Newman tour (including some Live Skull, Corrupted, The Nerves LP, the Death LP on Drag City, and an original, single-LP issue of The Stooges’ Metallic K.O., complete with the original iron-on transfer) and catching up on a few zillion emails.

In the studio soon with Deep Snapper and Tre Orsi, and a few others that I still need to schedule. Doing a one-off for Mogwai in Houston on Apr 19, then a week-long tour in Spain with the New Year in May. For now, though, sleep!
