PART OF AN INTERVIEW I GAVE ABOUT MY CONCERT IN...
За год в России он научился хорошо говорить по-русски, и перед каждой композицией на концерте озвучивает небольшие комментарии к ней. Большинство сыгранных в тот вечер вещей написаны в Сибири – на одну вдохновил страшный мороз, другая возникла из сострадания к бездомным собакам, поводом к третьей стал закрытый для иностранцев город Северск. Но главное – Брендан не просто сочинил здесь новые...

We were in Tomsk and then we went to Tyumen There we went to a McDonalds and I took a bus ride really far to exchange a broken camera

Ten hours after getting there we left there fifty hours to Volgagrad where I sweated...

Hand In Goat
What’s it like to put your hand inside of an animal feel around some organs and assorted body parts
put your hand on its heart and squeeze/pull/rupture something near the heart maybe feel the blood pour out of a major artery/vein?
Do you feel: Like a man Connected with nature Still drunk from yesterday?

Attempt at Reflections on Tuva
At this point I hoped that I would be able to put some thoughts down about what happened to me a few weeks ago. I guess I’ll start with a list of things that happened:
-Saw some fields on fire while taking the train to Abakan -Took a gorgeous taxi ride through the mountains with ever changing scenery that reminded us Americans of 5-6 different states -Met a lot of really nice Tuvan people...

огурцы
if there’s one thing I don’t like about Russian food packaging, it’s that I never know if огурцы means ‘cucumbers’ or ‘pickles’

I think it’s possible that the river has melted today. They said it would be cold and it is.
I want to go to the river hop on a floe float towards chyornaya rechka that is a village near this city.
There I would lose my accent and find myself a Russian bride. Have 2-5 children cause sometimes home is a river crossing
maybe a bigger river, though.
Yesterday I was told that this city has...

ME VS. A GIRL VS. A LANGUAGE VS. JESUS
JESUS SAYS THAT HE UNDERSTANDS ME WHEN I FUCK UP AND/OR HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY BROTHER OR DRINKING SADNESS OR PAYING BILLS
WONDER IF JESUS PAID ‘BILLS’ OR HOW HE SOLVED PROBLEMS WITH HIS ‘BROTHER’ JAMES
WONDER WHAT HE THINKS OF STRAY DOGS OR RUSSIA OR SIBERIA
WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN TITANS ARE TEAMAKERS? OR WHEN A GIRL CALLS WHAT DOES THE SON OF GOD MEAN? OR OCTOBER...

RUSSIA TURNED ON ITS SIDE LOOKS LIKE A PHILLY PHANATIC CLUB-FOOTED IF THAT’S WHAT A CLUBFOOT LOOKS LIKE
THIS IS HOW I FEEL HERE OR AT LEAST THE BEST I COULD COMMUNICATE BUT AFTERWARDS I MAY FEEL DIFFERENTLY
To a certain degree I agree that я соиду с ума.
