i just can't stop...

i've been on a Can kick for the past few days, and stumbled on the above video while procrastinating yesterday. i can't stop watching it. the dancing fella is "dipsetmuthafucka", aka Ontario designer, Mike Long. apparently, he filmed himself dancing to all kinds of great classic music: funk, soul, punk, kraut, etc... every single day for a year. no joke.

aaaanyhow... we've been a bit busy in Monorailland, hence the lack of posts. here's a quick update:

- the 11/14 ///RESTLESS party was amazing. our hilarious "So So Daft" set went off without a hitch... well, that's not 100% true - the fog somehow messed with our equipment, so we had a few technical difficulties and had to turn off the machine, but after that it was all butter. check out the pictures here and here, thanks to the indiekrush photogs.

- both MDY and Howlermonkey have been elbow-deep in producing some new tracks. expect a remix, a rad cover, and an original real soon...

- i've been emailing and phoning like a madman, setting up our fly-by-night tour of the Midwest and West Coast... overall, the "tour" is a mix of roadtripping, visiting friends, finding a house in Portland, actually playing gigs, and attending parties we tried to get on the bill for (hey why not, right?).

for word on where and when we're playing, keep an eye on our myspace page, and specifically on this blog entry for the most accurate info. in addition, i'm going to do my best to keep a tour diary as well, with summaries posted right here on the monoblog. expect excessive enthusiasm and gratuitous grainy camera-phone pictures...

- and if you're in Las Vegas tomorrow, drop by my place and buy my shit. i'm going to be a broke motherfucker when we wash up in Portland and don't wanna have to eat my shoes the first week i'm there!:
