Hey, everybody, see how excited we are for "Joel McDonald's Spiritual Loner Saloon," which opens on Friday night?

But seriously folks, this photo was actually taken some years ago by Joel's wife Heather Fox. Honestly, I have no idea what this upcoming exhibition will entail beyond this brief description: "drawings and a sculpture." I do know, however, that Joel McDonald is meticulous and methodical, and he excels at everything he does: cooking, quilting, carpentry, fashion, horticulture, music--and of course, the plastic arts. Joel is also an inveterate provocateur, famous for pushing the envelope in every arena, as well as the first man I ever married. We go way back, is what I'm saying, and I am honored to be exhibiting Joel's work, something that has not happened, here or anywhere, in far too fu***ng long. All of this should make for a fun-filled opening and a fantastic show, our first in the Darby Forever Gallery since June, as it so happens--only at Surface Noise!

The boys from Bark Culture stopped by the store today after their torrid performance last night at B-Side. We'll be stocking some Bark Culture vinyl as soon as they're back home in Philly after the tour. Safe travels, fellas!

This is the song that was playing when Harmony Korine and I hoisted a shirtless and sweaty Dave Pajo onto our shoulders and paraded him through the crowd assembled at the Exit/In for Super Furry Animals, shouting, "This is Papa M, motherf**kers--you better recognize!" Good times!
