The Ragged End Of Nowhere: Qweens

Well, after much neglect it seems time to bump golf & porno from the top spot. A lot has been going on which, after looking I realize, I didn't do much photographing. The biggest news is I'm moving (yes, again). This time just a few blocks away to live w/friends as opposed to randoms. Matt, Sean & I will be living in a sweet duplex on Ave C. It was described in one of the ads as "the ultimate pleasuredome". I guess we should host some sweet gay 80s disco parties or something. Anyway, in the midst of all that I was doing a few shows with Queens of the Stone Age. Holy shit balls do they rock. It was a treat to be involved if only for a minute. I would've liked to have stayed on but other rock commitments meant it wasn't to be so. I went from there to the start of another run with Ween. This one in the midwest. I'll be missing their next run on the west coast (which Mickey gives me constant shit about) to do some work in the studio with Albert for his next record. I'll be back with the Weens for an east coast run in November and hopefully running around the world with them next year. They truly are one of the baddest things happening in rock right now. Their new record "La Cucaracha" is an instant classic. Go buy that shit. The shows have been solid to amazing and I honestly think that "My Own Bare Hands" live is the most perfect chunk of man-rock I've ever witnessed. And I just came from 3 shows with Josh Homme & Co. The only downside of this run has been consistantly shitty weather and hotels. If I met Mr. Holiday Inn tomorrow I'd...well, I'd offer him a stern dressing down. In my mind (no need to be rude).
On the upside I have been able to watch some of the Red Sox games, including game 7 of the LCS and tonights blowout game 1 of the World Series. Good shit.
Anyway, now I'm in Cleveland. House of Blues tomorrow. Here's some pics...
