Crazy Like Me!
An unreleased track, “Crazy Like Me” has a really upbeat vibe that makes it really fun for me to perform live. Here I am onstage in Seoul, South Korea, doing the pop-bop!

Duipuri
Is what one does after a show in Korea, a celebration feast. A location is chosen for its joyous vibe of comfort and good food, whereupon the band and friends proceed there to drink and eat and be merry, usually til the wee hours of the morning. Consider it an honor and sacred duty!!!

Big fish
A beautiful rainy evening out and about after a fiery bowl of red-hot ramen in Roppongi. On my way to pick up new boxing gear for my upcoming show when I was greeted by the Really Big Fish.
The fish was magnificent and huge. Beautiful and wise. Made me feel happy, touched by something dada-esque and ancient.
I saw the little shark swimming in there too. Its face was really the most shark I’ve ever seen up so close. I wondered how it would taste, but it was so cute, I didn’t want to eat it. And I knew if I went diving with it, it wouldn’t try to eat me either. In that moment I knew that all the things I’ve heard about the danger of sharks attacking and biting humans were false. Not to underestimate their innate power in any way, but I felt sorry that I was ever so terrified of sharks. What a big misunderstanding. Where there is fear, there is misunderstanding or bravery. I hope I will always opt for the latter. Like what Public Enemy said, don’t believe the hype.
Invisible cats in Tokyo
First I wanna say many thanks to my fine gentlemen friends John and Allen over at Monolith for taking such good care of me and being so awesome! Despite the unforeseen cat dander in the studio, I am having a kickass time here in Tokyo. Double-woo. It was as near death as I ever got, and moving to the Olympic Hotel was the kind of kismet that was just about the best thing ever for me. People there are super nice and accomodating — nary have I a sniffle now. Twas a close one indeed, but I’m feeling soooo fine like Cinderella in my new boots now……woooooooyeah…
