That is The Nationals’ latest video and release, shot both onstage and backstage at various gigs over the Summer. The National is easily one of my favorite discovered bands of the year, despite first hearing them late in Summer of 2k9. Looks like it wont play on Ninja, click through and check it on YouTube [...]

Im really excited about Henry Rollins’ killer new layout, check it out here. Ive been compiling a new feed section for the right sidebar like on the old NinjaMotorhome dot com and Rollins maintains at the top of the list. Its really random, too random in fact to explain but I spent part of the [...]

I am in love with this picture, a big fat lazy male bee, undecided on the stoop: should he expend energy and fly over to the colony nextdoor to exploit their resources and maybe mate with a new queen or should he stay here and take the fresh late summer air? In the end he [...]

(duplicate post from Shipwreck Honey) Check out the sound of the Hive. I invited my friend Martyn Stewart, top shelf nature recordist to come out and record the sound of my honeybees at home and this is what we got. Thanks Martyn, I absolutely loved this project. Honeybee field recording. Also a short film:

OK so by now we’ve all read the post below this about this years’ Honey crop being free to all. Its a strong gesture and taken right out of any season you want of The Wire or Deadwood, which means not only is it noble but it carries the Warhammer of both History and [...]

I have said from the beginning that I am not a beekeeper, in the sense that I “keep” bees. I simply provide them with a palatial estate which I maintain, give them individual massages daily, plant as much mint around them as I can find because they are cranky little bastards and mint warms their [...]

Being around bees is one of those things…..that you really never knew you wanted as bad as you do, until once you actually do it. I never had any idea it would be like this; tending bees being so paramount to everything, particularly if you thought you had done everything youve ever wanted in the [...]

I thought I would drop in and spend a few minutes in between gigs, its been awhile since I did this. Project Shipwreck has developed a solid set of legs under it, both Hives are in fine health. Last week I re-queened the Hive with lesser activity, the original Queen wasn’t building the brood stores [...]

I am here, just not here this week. Or last, for that matter. Interesting things going on around here, the Silence has almost been overwhelming, certainly enough so to capitalize it. Ive reached that place again where I always am every couple of years: the sheer antiquity of a desktop terminal, but this time the [...]

Somewhere in this city I have a couple cases of Smirnoff fresh off the truck but Im in no mood to go hunt that truck down right now. Shipwreck Honey dot [...]

Watching the girls fly in and out of thier Hives, pollen stuffed greedily in thier leg baskets and faces covered in dust has got to be the cutest thing I have ever seen. New footage, once I get a sunny day; youve got to see this.
