'This song, All Apologies and some others are tuned a half step down with drop D... also called drop C#. Try playing your guitar along in E flat and you'll hear a disonance, then tune it half step down and the disonance will be gone. Or maybe you won't be able to tell the difference, in that case go ask a more experimented musician to help you understand the difference.'

p.s. Hey. So, here's the last nudge from me to those of you who are doing the Escort Self-Portrait Day thing. Please send me your entries by tomorrow morning in your time zone. Meaning, I guess, before noon tomorrow wherever you are. Thanks a lot! ** Bill, Hi, Bill. Thanks, and I hope Francis is glad and is okay with my humble attempt. I sent you an inspiring escort? Cool. Thank the wheel of chance operations. The Henke piece sounds super interesting in your description. He'll be at IRCAM? I'll definitely try to see that. I think the 11th is a non-filming day, so I think I probably can. I have seen/heart Tarik Barri's work, or a little of it, and quite probably thanks to that sampler of yours. You're back in Berlin. Are you getting all this rain, rain, rain we're getting? ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. That's an interestingly wending connection: head hair fetish to Ezra Miller. And why not? ** Jeffrey Coleman, Hi, Jeff! I have, I think, three locks of hair stored away in my LA pad. All from people I knew and wanted that particular souvenir from for reasons I don't remember but were probably love-based or for amorous reasons. I am looking into CJ Bradbury Robinson. I was hoping for some extensive online excerpting or something, but it seems I might have to spring for the CD-rom eventually. I do know about Cabell McLean. He was a friend of a friend of mine who talked about him with great frequency. Have I read his writing? Hm, I'm not sure if I have. Maybe a sample or two. I will definitely pick up that book of his, that's for sure. Thank you so much, Jeff! Rob Hardin, wow. He's a Facebook friend so I see his occasional updates. You probably know he was a student of mine way back in the 80s when I briefly taught a writing workshop at St. Marks Poetry Project. I haven't seen new writing by him in ages. New stuff by him would be a boon. ** Douglas Payne, Hi, Douglas, welcome, and thank you a lot for commenting. Yeah, I have some hair of an ex- or two, or of a hoped for pre-ex- maybe, I can't remember. A well known and great experimental writer whom I know and who shall remain nameless just in case used to collect pubic hairs he found in public restrooms for a long time. I don't know if he still does, but he had a sizable collection. He had this intricate, fascinating criteria for why certain pubes made the grade or not that I don't remember. Cool, thanks, and do return whenever the mood strikes, please. ** Tosh Berman, Hi, Tosh. I remember when I was first going silver. And them it seemed like, boom, overnight or something, I was totally silver. How strange that is: the life-span of the hair root. Yeah, I mean is there anyone in the world who thinks McCartney or Jagger would have completely brown hair in their ... what, 70s? I know it happens on rare occasions, but ... Not to mention that the color of their is far more more reminiscent of the color of Nutella than of any brown hair realistically produced by the human head. ** Kier, Thanks, buddy! Ha ha, that is too bad. I mean that you can't give those teeth to Satan. Teeth are like Satan doggie treats or something, I think I heard. You are so correct that it's high, high time for you to have a website and for us to have a website filled with you and yours. That's exciting! Link us up the very second it's ready. Well, as close to the very second as your schedule allows, I mean. I haven't seen 'Only God Forgives' yet. I do want to. My day was ... uh, coffee with a friend, a lot of negotiating about film locations, none of them leading to success yet. Writing. Emails. Texting, phoning. Rain, lots of it. Oh, I went to get a chocolate or candy as a gift for someone from this legendary, really great Paris chocolatier called A l'Etoile d'Or run by this really eccentric older woman with long blonde pigtails and crazy energy, and when I got there, there was a sign saying she died and the place was boarded up. That was really sad. It was a great shop, and she was a total trip. I ended up going later on to another chocolatier and buying the same someone this cool confection that is a little box of chocolates designed and sculpted to look like a make-up kit with an edible, chocolate brush and everything. So those were the only colorful things I did. How was Wednesday? What was the highlight? ** Torn porter, Hi, T. Thanks, man. Yeah, the hair collecting thing is weird, right? Cool, I will be curious to hear your 'Situation Rooms' take. Oh, when you first go into the area where you will embark on the journey, you need to tell them that you want the English language version -- if you do want it, I mean -- because the whole game of the piece happens on an iPad that you carry around with you, and you'll need to clearly understand what it tells you to do. For the first scene, we need a particular kind of apartment. Zac knows what kind of apartment he needs precisely. I haven't seen the Bill Viola show because I really don't like his work, but I'll probably go at some point if I have nothing else to do just out of vague curiosity. The Self-Portrait thing involves people who read or comment here and who volunteered to create a fictional escort ad using a photo of a real escort that I sent to them. And, yeah, I think it's too late to start now, sadly, 'cos it's due tomorrow morning and also because I ran out of escort photos. No big, though. Maybe I'll do a slave one if the escort one turns out okay. Peace out, T. ** Aaron Mirkin, Hi, Aaron. Wow, what an incredibly interesting sounding documentary. You still happy with it? Is it seeable by the likes of me? I still haven't watched that mash-up. I just drilled a mental note to do that today into my own head. Your work and Swans seems like the veritable match made in heaven. I did get some free time, thank you. An hour here and there. Thanks for the wish to help us. Yeah, you know more fully well than us by a long shot what a complicated thing filmmaking is, but we're getting closer to being ready, and hopefully the last few outstanding confusions will demystify and get practical and accomplished in the next few days. So kind of you to offer to help. If there's anything, I'll let you know, and, yeah, thank you very much. What are you working on right now? ** Keaton, Hi, K. I think there is voice activated internet, isn't there? Hm, maybe not. Weird. Yury might be able to hook you up with hair-styling if that desire sticks, but I think you have to go to school first and get a degree or something. Cotton candy blue hair-color is definitely a Pavlov's dog kind of thing. Got your escort thing, thanks, pal. Did you write? ** Steevee, Hey. Well, nothing ever breaks down into clear categories, that's for sure. A lot of people objectifying him as a sex object are also not in their teens. I had a brief intensive interest in the backlash and did some studying of it, and the number of people out there who went nuts with hatred for him who declared that he should be raped as punishment was quite high, possibly even more than 50%. The people in their teens who are objectifying him are just more open about it, and their objectifications tend to be a lot less sadistic, from what I've seen. I think you're right, obviously, that his privileged position is irksome and fuel to people too. But, again, that's not really about him personally. And the 'deport him' thing is just nationalist and ugly. Oh, yeah, the lawsuit brought by DSK, as he's known over here, is big French news. French laws are much more rigid about what constitutes character defamation than American laws are. I don't know where the suit will play out, but if it's in France, he could win that one. ** Rewritedept, Hi. 50's country stuff is pretty good, or can be, yeah. I think the great majority of the great girl group stuff happened in the early to mid-60s. I think they should add a definition to the word 'reportedly' in the next edition of the dictionary or whatever to the effect that it's a word that should produce great skepticism. No, still no location yet. Now they're saying hopefully by Friday. It had better be by Friday, that's for sure. ** Misanthrope, Um, well, err, good for you re: how to employ Styles' hair snippet in a practical way, although shoving hair up your butt sounds, I don't know, less orgasmically helpful than mildly irritating, but what do I know? The Elvis and Biebz locks look like pubes? Uh, sure, buddy, whatever you say, ha ha. ** Robert-nyc, Hi, Robert! Me too. I had that reaction about a number of the locks. Like ... Walt Whitman was a platinum blond?! I know what you mean. In some cases, and ... let's take James Dean as a random example, I mean ... did someone snip that off his dead head or raid his barber's floor? The sellers never seem to say how they got them. I would think that would be, I don't know, an important issue? So glad you said 'hello, how are you'? What's going on? ** Sypha, Hi. I think maybe in the history of your and George's imaginations, but, otherwise, I would think the day that Biebz isn't referenced in some way on or inside this blog would be the historically important one. Ha ha, okay, that hair flip thing was pretty nice, okay, thank you. I think people are cool with plot holes when they're inadvertently funny. Or when they're in Japanese films and can be seen as having been based on 'foreign' mistakes or strategies a la the old 'Godzilla' movies. I haven't seen the new 'Godzilla' yet, but, I mean, the humans don't have to be boring in action movies. Boring human characters is not why those films work. And when there's 160 million dollars available to get an interesting script and nuanced performances, I can see why boring characters would just be boring and why people might complain. But I haven't the movie yet. ** Done. Let's see ... oh, 24 Nirvana covers. Some of them are kind of really great, albeit not for the reasons intended in certain cases, and having nothing to do with the value of the songs themselves, in many cases. And some of them make the songs shine. And some of the interpretations are awesome, and some of them are weird, and some of them are bad in a very interesting way, and so on. That's my opinion. What's yours? All hail Weatherwax, and I'll see you tomorrow.
