PostArctica: December 6, 1989
The words never come easy once a year as this date approaches. I never feel like anything I can possibly say could even pretend to possibly give a little perspective […]
PostArctica: Dirt
Have a new album coming out, uh, no, new photo project actually, and this is more motivational (for me) than it is promotional. It might the most radical off the […]

Been having a kind of film noir week so the other day I decided to return to Turcot Yards for the first time in years. It started raining when I left and I was kind of wet cycling in the rain but I made it to a spot where I
