We're sticking with just "A" cities this time around. Atlanta, Athens and now the big double A - Ann Arbor. Our Detroit area operative Shystie has put out a call for help. Seems the forces of light are up to their usual dirty tactics of sewing the seeds of good will and understanding. We're coming to lend a hand towards fighting back with confusion, chaos, ill-will and baby killing jokes. We'll be holding court at the Brew Pub so stop on by. He's the unbalanced looking one and I'll be the smug, I'm-so-European looking one.

Scoot over boys. Make room for the new breed.

How many kids does that Republican VP have? She must like to fuck. It's about time we get some sex back in the Oval Orifice.

Okay. Will be out of contact for a few days. Going into blackout. Please stay with us though. Cartoons and assorted what-nots will return as soon as we're reunited with our proper equipment.

I killed Michael Stipe.

Athens, GA. Hot, hip and almost happening. Given the whirl-wind tour by two of the best local musicians we even found ourselves in a bar that stocked more Belgian biers than our favorite haunt in the UK which is only a stone's throw from the source. We are going to have to have a sit-down talk with the proprietor when we return.

Just a couple weeks off on timing - could have seen Tokyo Police Club at the 40 Watt as well as Deerhoof. So culture does indeed infiltrate the American South in spots.

People here in the metro Atlanta area are so friendly. Too bad they are Earth killers. At least they piss on the planet with a smile. At one point I counted 6 massive SUVs in a row before a single car passed. And of course each elephant sized SUV carried only one pig sized person. They held a referendum on extending the half-assed rail system out to the burbs here and of course all the lard-ass whiteys voted no. Not only do they not see any reason to get out of their enviro-cidal 2 tonne mobiles but they fear that 'undesirables' will come along with rail service. As if any self-respecting street playa would waste their time out in these culturally dead suburbs. Houses, strip malls, houses, strip malls. Development for the sake of development. Brand new strip malls built next to half vacant ones. All-you-can-eat buffets butting up against weight loss clinics. Ground zero for the bitch slapping of Planet Earth.

What Day is It??

OK. We're functional so stay tuned for regular updates.

I'm stressed.

America, it's not even been quite a year but it seems like decades - since we touched, since we held - each other............ Is there still chemistry between us or will it feel like a poorly cast Hollywood romance where the sparks just don't fly? Do you remember the stuff we did?? Whoo boy. Those were crazy days. I'm a bit wiser and cautious now that I've seen more of the big bad world so I hope I don't bore you. But when I left you America you were......troubling me. You weren't the same America I first rode my bike with or shared my first doobie with. It was like you suddenly got both too serious and too stupid at the same time. And it worried me. But I'm not too proud to say - America, I think I need for you to still need me. It's a cruel world out here America. Are you still home?

Speaking of America........this was either someone's initials or the happiest/most bored KKK member in the world. Because in Vilnius, Lithuania there ain't nobody darker than a bad spray-on tan at most. Or maybe Lithuanian KKK members just sit around and curse Russians.

Well, I am indeed off to visit the Great Motherland for a couple weeks but I am taking a laptop and intend to update regularly from the front. Unless of course Homeland Security confiscates it at the border ("Vee have Vays of making you regret coming back")

So if you see nothing new here for days and days please contact my lawyer. But even if something else like tech difficulties befall me I hope that you will all return. I miss you guys. You're like the total strangers I never had.

Is America following good personal hygiene? Are the streets safe? Does opportunity still flow like milk and honey?
Alert the papparazi - I will be landing at ATL airport this Thursday.

Will I be strip searched at the border or drafted?
Or will I be greeted by Obama and McCain on the tarmac. Both nearly at blows over my endorsement.

America I'm coming home. Show me the money. Show me the love. Show me the fat. Is that "Let's Getter Done!" guy still on the TeeVee? God I hope so.

I love you America but you can't compete with the Kefirs.

Check out this motherload of blackberries. Just out of reach - my life story.   See you north american scum soon.

Struck with impotence at the gates of Sodom and Gomorrah
I transform into a moralist

Even with a few hundred kilometers in between the spirits from the Devil Museum stuck with me like a full English breakfast.

19 AUG 2008

As happy as a pilgrim. Dave finally reaches the Devil Museum in Kaunas.   Stay de-tuned.
