In the most recent issue of A.P., Saxon Shore : Four Months of Darkness recieved a 5/5 rating. Take heed from the rock critics and buy yourself a copy on cd or vinyl today.
I was in Bali this weekend with my friends Justin and Sanna. We stayed in a more remote, non-Beach part of the island where the artisans and farmers live. We saw a few master craftsmen at work making masks, puppets, and instruments. We also saw a Balinese dance with pretty interesting and droning music and a shadow puppet show. The next day, we went to the sacred monkey forest where monkeys are protected because they’re important to the Balinese Hindus. You can buy bananas to feed the monkeys in the park, so Justin/Sanna made me do that since they’d already been. A bunch of monkeys came up to me when they realized I had food. I was feeding the little guys the bananas and the bigger monkeys were getting mad. I fed the biggest monkey a couple of bananas, but apparently it wasn’t enough. He started tugging on my pants to get my attention and to get more bananas, but I was busy feeding the little monkeys. The big one didn’t like my idea of monkey social justice and decided to bite me. I didn’t bleed or bruise, but it did hurt. Let that be a lesson to you.
I’ll be leaving Singapore on Thursday, then on to California for a week. See you in the U.S.
