bighorn sheep @ Valley of Fire State Park in southern Nevada — seen while hiking

Dr. Strangelove still. Capt. Lionel Mandrake looks freaked out as hell. The insane general Jack D Ripper has his arm around him.

The vibes RN

the comforting feeling of being watched over (at my southern Nevada camping spot tonight 🚐)

he kind of did that in Carax’s “Pola X”

one day the mountains will have all eroded away and we’ll be left with…

etrandelair o • Etran de L'Aïr • Tarha Ebouse Dighe... ČA USA 2026 canceled

etrandelair Sad to announce, a new US visa policy bans us, and anyone from Niger (and many other countries) from obtaining a visa for the USA. This means we have had to cancel all upcoming tours including our shows with King Gizz, Green River, Red Wing, Nelsonville Music, and Blue Ox. We've loved coming to perform across the states the past few years. And it's a big hit to us as touring makes up 70% of our income, and we depend on this to support our families at home. If you want to support us you can donate directly via link in bio, buy our music and merch, and stay tuned for our new album. We will be back soon, inchallah. 6 minutes ago

Etran de L’Aïr has to cancel US tour do to visa restrictions on citizens of Niger. Heartbreaking for US fans of this amazing band. Devastating for the band themselves who say that US tours comprise about 70% of their income. Help these guys out and buy a record:

shhhhhhh, we don’t talk about track 4

Jesus: “I don’t know where the hell any of these words are?!”

When we hear a piece of music we don’t like, this is an opportunity to explore what it is within us that’s denying that enjoyment, and then to work on that, to help facilitate more overall enjoyment.

we can no longer ask Éliane, but perhaps she left something useful behind

I might be anywhere. In space, perhaps.
Outside the van: frogs, stars.

😔. I saw Shrimp Boat live (!), but not with Vajarsky. But I did see him play once — in 1995, in an ensemble Weasel Walter put together as his graduation project from Columbia. Wish I’d had and/or taken more chances

it’s been raining here in Death Valley

I was there!

I don’t remember this episode of Twin Peaks

you’re thinking of Lionel Marchetti, I think?

“Often, while composing, there is the clear sensation of finding oneself in front of a pile of garbage. Every sound to which we try to give life leaves in its wake a stench beyond compare.”

*Unfortunately, Babies R Stupid cannot perform tonight due to incarceration for defacing personal injury lawyer billboards. I’ll book them again at a later date!

Scott Adams the man is gone, but the idea of the man, the thing he stood for above all others, is alive. Anywhere someone is fucking up their successful professional lives not due to middling talent or performance but entirely because of their awful personality and beliefs, Scott is there, too.
