Random Demands #1: Jason Hoffman

Jason Hoffman is a multi-talented artist, musician, and Chicagoan. He used to live in a dark cave, where he watched a movie where the screen turns from white to grey over the course of an hour over and over. In that fearsome era, he was also spending a lot of time looking at Suicide Girls. Now he is in this awesome band Chord, whose newest album Progression recently came out on Important Records. It is about how these six chords ring and drone like great bells. It is epic. One of his other projects is anatole, which is very dark and quiet. The new anatole record is called Our Bodies Fold in Empty Detriment.

Jason taught me the word "brutal." In light of this, for the first edition of Random Demands, I randomly demanded that Jason respond to a certain segment from a Japanese game show where these dudes get hit in the nuts. Intrepid readers will also notice that this falls in with the running leitmotif of my blog, balls.

And now, without further ado, "they are supposed to be played in various combinations of simultaneous, making it my first opera!" Minimalism + testicles=amazing.

Beautiful postcard I got in Michigan last summer. In fact, I got two because I liked it so much.

I am evil

I recently had a dream in which the devil was a combination of Snooki and Johnny Depp. Some minor demons and I had been trying to battle The Dark One, but then later He decided to sleep with me. "Well," I rationalized my decision as His face flickered between the Princess of Poughkeepsie and JD, "maybe this will work."

Tolstoy, empanadas

I'm trying to draw this picture of Tolstoy bathing. I'm not quite there yet, much like the empanada I ate while I was drawing this. However, the picture my phone took of this picture? Pretty spot on.

Last night I watched Red with Andy Bui

It was p-"red"-ty good.
