Amerika
Tomorrow’s the first daytrip of the tour, to Gateshead, which is pretty much Newcastle. My pals back in the states will think fondly of the brown ale. Me, I think of the original Get Carter with Michael Caine.
Should be decadent; Ben, the bassist for Robin Nature-Bold is buying me a bottle of vodka so I can participate in the drink-off he’s planned with the drummer. He’s warned me that he’ll probably drink it all, anyway, which is really okay by me. Haven’t decided what I’ll be performing; just printed out a stack of stuff. I’ll run with whatever makes sense. I’ll probably also be running the door and merch table.
I had to cancel my Monday tutorials last week for the Kikass interview. I made them up today, but only one student showed up to the first one and only two to the second. Too bad for them. The tutorial was on whether global commodization produces cultural homogenity. To stimulate discussion I screenedthe music video for Amerika by Rammstein. Aren’t I a hip n’ cool n’ clued-into-the-youth tutor? No wonder Kikass wanted me. Click the image for an wmv version of the video.
