JUNE, 2004
TMBG TOUR!
I received this email a few days ago:

the second week of July we are going cross the US and then we got a couple of
shows on the weekend after. You want to open ?

So, I’m taking that offer and will see many good times ahead.

Speaking of the Giants, you can download Particle Man featuring the Linnell/Corn Mo duet.

Dallas Genius, David Hanson, Makes Another Robot Head
The first one was his wife. This one is Philip K. Dick. Brilliant. I think you can see it at Wired’s Next Fest.

Read his paper on making robots look like humans as opposed to machines.

“When a robot looks too much like the real thing, it’s creepy”. – Osaka University Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro.

So, more on robots, if you’re in Edinburgh visit here. They had a robot jellyfish in the window. It’s really cool. Real nice folks.

Shoes
I bought some black dress shoes for shows. I’ve never bought dress shoes.
My friend, Quincy, wore his grandfather’s preacher shoes during his set.

Automatons
Oh, and the Tiffany Automaton is a Fake.
And so are the monkey ones.
