The Knux . Bang Bang

Here is a video I was in last month. I play one of the greasers with a leather jacket. Barely made the cut. Whatever. The fight scene at the end was fun to shoot.

AWK SHREDS BACH

This is totally amazing.

JESUS IS BLACK CAUSE YOUR SHADOW IS BLACK

This is the first time that Andrew WK met Lee "Scratch" Perry. Funny to think that a year or so later we have an album called REPENTANCE in which AWK produced for Perry. Anyways, interesting how divinity brings us all together. We spend every day wondering where the rivers of time are taking us and if we'll ever end up in the fantastic paradises of our dreams. If we could "fall like stars" quoting Aleister Crowley, which basically means follow your will or listen to the drones of the gut from within, then we can be just as fortunate as AWK working with Lee "Scratch" Perry. Of course that might sound like a nightmare to some. To me, it's just another miracle in the wonderful puzzle that we call life.

JESUS IS BLACK, CAUSE YOUR SHADOW IS BLACK

His Coffin Travels like the Fingers of Beethoven

New Billy Pilgrim album in the works. Check back soon for a demo or two.

Repentance . Lee "Scratch" Perry

Anyone who is interested in DUB and complete INSANITY should check out the new Lee "Scratch" Perry album repentance. It's co-produced by Andrew WK and features M.I.A., Moby, the drummer from Lightning Bolt as well as others. It's by far the best dance, tripped the fuck out on Dmt, Crack and the obvious Marijuana album I have heard for a long long time. Lee "Scratch", are you ready to party. What the fuck, this album is so fucking weird.

The song FIRE rules.

James is 23 right now....

Nothing to be said, only to be seen.

Tombraiders

This is TRUE adventure! All we wanted was enlightenment. So John and I drank two bottles of red whiskey and went on the expedition of a life time. Photos taken by Trevor Krapf in the late summer of 2007.

Recent Developments...

What's new you might ask.

I shook Russell Simmons hand in an Adidas Commercial last week. John and Mark got a bunkbed, but they haven't figured out who masturbates where. "YOMI" will be finished this week. Brooke is recreating Malachai, being costume designer on the remake of "children of the corn". It's still hot. I am heading to Fort Bragg soon to ride out the summer heat.

Here are some photos that my brother Kyle Burns just sent me from his fortress in Fort Bragg from the "Yomi" shoot.

Goodbye Jeff Kent

It will be a cold, abrupt end to a Hall of Fame career, and a fitting farewell for time so misspent in Los Angeles.

T.J. Simers
September 2, 2008

Jeff Kent is scheduled to undergo surgery on his left knee this morning and spend the next few weeks listening to Scully.

You just know then it will be a speedy recovery.

If this is it, though, the knee worse than initial medical reports indicated, then it will be a cold, abrupt end to a Hall of Fame career, and a fitting farewell for time so misspent in Los Angeles.

Kent came here known best as a hard-nosed jerk, and leaves the same way, successful for the most part in convincing the world he's mad at everyone living in it.

He should be leaving as the respected pro with gaudy baseball stats behind his name, someone who reported to work every single day, playing as if every single day mattered.

Instead, he leaves as the player who bad-mouthed Scully, no way for any Dodger to go out, making it "jerk" with an exclamation point.

Kent ignored every suggestion to soften his image, and dismissed the chance to retract his Scully comments before they made it into the newspaper because he took pride in saying something no one else on the team would dare say.

For someone so smart, he sure could be stupid.

When the story lingered, he appeared dumbfounded, and yet he grew up here. The fans in Dodger Stadium booed him, got on him in Philadelphia, Washington and across the Internet.

He became more grouchy than grumpy, even sullen, complaining that it should have been a "one-day story," but Page 2 wouldn't let it drop. Check with F.P. Santangelo, and maybe he can explain.

Kent was stung by the public criticism, quick to point out, of course, that he pays no attention to criticism or booing fans or Internet gibberish, although he hears it all and reads every word.

There might not be anyone more sensitive on the Dodgers, certainly no one fighting harder to disguise the fact, and then throw in Manny Ramirez's arrival.

The young players immediately gravitated to Ramirez, each one expressing their admiration for such a great hitter.

It bothered Kent, because as the team's resident veteran, he thought every one of them should be looking up to him, clueless when it came to understanding why they did not.

"He's one of those players whose actions are supposed to make you understand what he thinks," is how Manager Joe Torre described Kent. "It's the old pro thing."

But as Torre noted, today's kids are different, and they wanted nothing to do with someone who made it appear as if he wanted nothing to do with them. He lost them a long time ago.

So might the mood change now for the better without Kent brooding in the corner of the clubhouse?

"I think there is still an air of respect for that person," Torre said. "But you can be a little hesitant from being outgoing if someone is always there correcting you or giving you a look that tells you what they're thinking without saying a word.

"These guys are free spirits, but they have been a little hesitant."

Kent declined to take a call Saturday, sending a message that he's preparing for surgery, as if he has to do anything more than lie down and point to his left knee.
