re: upcoming art show.

hello lovers,

how are you? i hope you are well. i mean it. like, super well. awesome in fact. haha.

i am, there's all sorts of chaos around us, it's epic, but all we can do is soldier on, keep moving forward, because what's the alternative? thumbs receding, eye's closening, teeth getting longer, hunches in our backs!?!?! hahaha.

so, i've been listening to the new "Queens of the Stone Age," quite a lot and really dig it.

why?

because, it's fresh and new, and unlike a lot of the shit out there these days, but how long have we been saying that? forever. probably since mozart, beetlejuice and rammstein.

anyways, it's a great, dark, brooding, sexy at times album.

i read interviews or some shit like that where the ginger-haired singer Josh Homme (french for "dude." how perfect?) said most of it was written after he flatlined on the old operating table for a knee operation. sounds serious and whack!? and overkill.

now, i'm not a doctor, but that should/could have been local anesthesia? or like played by the spirit of cliff burton?

haha, kidding. poor taste joke for a musician i love. cliff burton. not josh "man."

cha-ch.

well, back to the review. great album. dark as fuck. but has some great shagging moments. as every Queens of the Stone Age album should.

shagworthy vote? 7.5 out of 12.

why 12? coz fuck you that's why.

ass.

re: nicotine, valium, vicodine, marijuana, ecstasy, and alcohol.

hello lovers,

i'm listening to "queens of the stone age." and love it.

so, at the arbour HQ we've got some big ideas coming in the next few years. mind blasting. hopefully we'll get support and rally people around to help really create a creative music, literary and arts scene here in the loops. a place where people don't exodus like mad, but rather come and do a sabbatical, a creative time to rejuvenate and make new works.

anyways, we'll get to that soon enough.

giving them the tools to be creative

to really express themselves.
