The Underground Railroad |
|
| Things are getting strange at the Chainsaw House. The house ran out of oil so Lu and I went away for the weekend and saw possibly the greatest movie of our young adult lives - No Country For Old Men.... Posted by Gavin Castleton on Wed, 14 Nov 2007 08:40:00 PST |

Caught Polkadots... |
|
| My encounter with my ladybug friends has progressed further than I ever imagined. However, I can't bring myself to blog here any more. Myspace is dumb. I've set up my thoughts on a real blog servic... Posted by Gavin Castleton on Fri, 09 Nov 2007 10:09:00 PST |

David "The King" King |
|
| I saw the Bad Plus perform at the Regatta Bar recently. It may be the best show I've ever seen. Watching David King play the drums is like witnessing the Christmas morning of a 5 year old whose mom is... Posted by Gavin Castleton on Tue, 06 Nov 2007 11:34:00 PST |

Swarm and the DLS |
|
| At 5:20pm today, I stopped reading my own blog, and put LapTop in sleep mode. I stood up quite gradually, so as not to disturb Lumas, who, as you know, insists on being the first down the stairs if I... Posted by Gavin Castleton on Mon, 05 Nov 2007 11:40:00 PST |

My Biggest Fear Has Manifested. |
|
| I know what my biggest fear is. You ask anybody that (if you're lame, you'll ask them on your first date with your "I don't beat around the bush" face on), and they will think for a minute, and then ... Posted by Gavin Castleton on Fri, 02 Nov 2007 06:12:00 PST |

Post Tour Rape-up |
|
| Many a morning have I sat out in my pile of leaves with Lu, a tiny grin playing it's way across my face as I think back upon two of my favorite moments on the tour with Eclectic Collective (both invol... Posted by Gavin Castleton on Wed, 24 Oct 2007 12:52:00 PST |

My little fleet. |
|
| 9 months ago, when I was going through a very rough time, there was a pair of ladybugs that would always show up when I took a shower (so like, every 12 days or so). They would walk up the wall in fr... Posted by Gavin Castleton on Fri, 19 Oct 2007 05:35:00 PST |

No Sleep Til Brooklyn. |
|
| I've canceled my record release party a second time. I'm sorry to those of you that mentioned traveling for it, or have held off purchasing my new albums to do it in person. I haven't slept in a wee... Posted by Gavin Castleton on Thu, 11 Oct 2007 08:31:00 PST |

Tour Diary 5 |
|
| When we arrived at the Grape St. in Philly, we were scolded for being 15 minutes early. I have never, in my 42 years of touring, been scolded for being early to a load-in. It was fascinating. Santi'... Posted by Gavin Castleton on Thu, 27 Sep 2007 11:17:00 PST |

Tour Diary 4 |
|
| We're on our way to Philly from Morgantown, WV. Everyone's a bit crusty from last night's tomfoolery at the cozy home of good friends Clover & Jesse. The performances, or at least my perception of th... Posted by Gavin Castleton on Wed, 19 Sep 2007 03:14:00 PST |
