i dunno...when i interviewed him before Secondman's Middle Stand, he said he owed Columbia that one more album and was planning other projects for indie labels

whereas "...engine room" dealt w/my pop's life in the navy as a metaphor for the story of the minutemen and "...middle stand" was a parallel to dante's "comedia" dealing w/an illness that almost killed me in 2000, this third opera is quite different in that it has no standard narrative (libretto!) meaning no regular beginning-middle-end and is as it were "simultaneous" in the way a mirror from just inside my head - right in this middle-age moment of mine - was then shattered into thirty pieces and then each piece stuffed in the head to show a piece of my state of mind (or out-of-mind) as of now. "thirty tunes?" yes, they're little ones... actually they're "thrirty parts" of one big tune.

as much as I love Watt and want to support him, I can't possibly imagine paying almost $30 and waiting 2-4 weeks for shipping to hear a new album in 2010.

Go read the Invisible Jukebox with Mike Watt in the latest Wire. Hilarious. He says something about thinking Bob Dylan is like your crazy aunt or something like like that. Pot meet kettle. Lots of good stuff, though. Among the more interesting stuff though, he says that Ed has talked to him about a fIREHOSE reunion...

I do strongly suggest everyone in the immediate SoCal area who can attend this show should:

Hyphenated-Man is a really dope album, btw, maybe the most overtly Minutemen-esque thing Watt's done since the Minutemen. i high recommend paying exorbitant import prices to get a CD shipped to you from Japan, or finding it some other way if possible.

People like Mike Watt.
Still being around.
Make me feel less lonely.
I won't be at the gig mentioned as on another tectonic plate.
But still. He's still here. Last time I saw him, that Cnt from Ohio was ruining stuff, the brave captain.
I loved the hose

He made a rather cryptic remark in a recent Wire interview that suggests that fIREHOSE might be getting back together.
