The Modern Golem

They say thousands disappeared in the shanghai tunnels beneath the ash street saloon, the ghost still curse the land, Catch us playing some diddles there on Wednesday. And see the ghosts of a thousand future robots! Sounds good, peace out…

Jesse’s Bike got stolen, so if you see any brown old Schwinns, ask the gentleman/gentle lady/junk broker, if they would stop their bike theft madness and promptly slash the tires, and walk away…

Here’s The Modern Golem’s Keys player, Jesse, jamming on a Hammond at the goodfoot lounge with a co-worker, Keishi. You can hear hints of “Inspector Gadget” In-a-gadda-da-vida” and The Modern Golem’s original song “Murky Sea” throughout..

This is The Modern Golem, telling you a friendly reminder to start your lettuce and cabbage seeds for the spring! Here is a comparison of our fallow fields and an interdimensional fallow field, for what its worth…

Ian is sadly leaving us, but he will play with us one more time at Someday Lounge on the 8th. And he’ll rock it like he’s wearing 4 pairs of socks.

It was some strange, sad feeling when we had to clean up “the studio”, the place where the seeds were sewn, the nest was made, and we packed it all up, swept up all the cans and bottles, mouse poop, and pieces of tissue that used to be in ears but the show must go on and we will be working hard to sand down our new practice space in North Portland which means no driving to Beaverton on route 26 at the height of rush hour!

See you at the show tomorrow…
