Back in the USA

I'm back in the USA and I plan on taking this very seriously, but only with your help and my unmistakable skillset.

Look, I am in

 China.

I am in Beijing and I am making a splash!  Don't believe me??? Take a look at this email I got:

泡泡熊  to me

Dear Alexander,

    Cherry is my name. And I am really sorry to answer you e-mail for late. I hope you can excuse. Because, I have to study very hard. I think my English is not perfert. And I am raising my English now. I believe we will get along very good.

Cherry

=============!!===============

See that!!  "I believe we will get along very good."  I will use Cherry as a metaphor for China.  I think you will like that very much.

This is a gold plating operation in Southeast Beijing!  The window is dirty so it is a bit rough looking.

Speaking of rough looking...

That is the neighborhood around the plant.  Development is quickly encroaching upon it and the idea is to clean up these areas through heavy metal remediation in water and soil.  They will also clean up the litter.  And children.

And, of course, Ivan...

 He is sideways.

And, the piece of resistance:

MR. LIU:  CHINESE CRIMEBOSS!

I am updating this

So everyone can read it.

There it is.

I'm leaving Cincinnati

There is so much food here.  Where to end?

Two New Books

In addition to KINGSBLOOD ROYAL (see previous entry!), I got these yesterday:

Another Umberto Eco nonfiction to add to the long-running collection.  Ellen picked this up for me in Cincinnati.
Then, I picked this up in Cincinnati:

I meant to get this long ago.  If for nothing else, I got it for the numbers and pictures.

You may think to yourself.
I had another location and now I am here.

Look.  Here I am.  Wherever you are, there you are and so on and so forth.
Before at http://www.alexander-t.com/ I was receiving far too many comments urging me to get involved with online blackjack.
I hope that won't happen here, U*37bq(.

Knightsblood Royal

I just picked a used copy of this up tonight.  I cannot wait to read it.  After a semester of FAULKNER this seems fine.  It was also recommended by JOHN DUVALL of Purdue University's English program.

Holy Bible

Here is a HOLY BIBLE song from the demo... the second one.

It is so fresh.

Here is a remix of something else from that session:

HARDCORE and so on. A mix.

Listen to it while you
jog through the snow
have guests
hate is coming easily
think of me

1. Milkwede - Innocuous from 7"
2. Maximilian Colby - last name from split lp with Shotmaker
3. Deadguy - Doom Patrol from Fixation LP
4. Bl'ast - sshhhh from It's in my Blood LP
5. Born Against - Mary and Child from 10" (? I think)
6. Bread & Circuits - Bretton Wood from LP
7. Spazz - Spudboy from (I have no idea, I had it on the Sweatin' comp in 1997)
8. Frail - American as Apple Pie from split 7" with Elements of Need
9. Earth Crisis - Born from Pain from Destroy the Machines LP
10. Sick of it All - Who Sets the Rules from Scratch the Surface LP
11. C.R. - Father's Little Failure from Save You comp 7" on Mountain
12. Converge - Versus from No Heroes
13. Honeywell - Abuse from LP
14. Unbroken - Absentee Debate from 7" (last?)
15. Racebannon - Red Hot Ranger from second 7"


That's 20 minutes of the 75 total. I tried to master it to consistency. Some were real garbage. Little EQ messing done.
Sorry no final BLEED 7". Definitely, on the next mix. It is in the eternal forecast.

I tried to format in a fun manner, but I haven't done mixes like this in two years and never with hardcore/punk.
This is something I have planned/wanted to do since the Summer of 1996, so I just did it.

return of the jedi

This is like my seventh blog. This one will last forever.
