Mason's Digressions

Quite a lot has happened since my last post actually, but it's all been a bit distracting so I've been lax at posting. As usual, I guess. In any case, it's hard to beat the excitement of the LP release, of course. Many new Numinous Eye works are in progress, including a new CDR, "It's Coming Down," which will be available fairly soon now. Drummer Mike is hard at work hand-printing the sleeves with a gorgeous linoblock print; the CDRs are burned; so it's pretty much done. Stay tuned. There are a couple of other albums done and looking for homes, and hopefully it won't be too long before I can announce some concrete plans.

We only have one show planned right now, in April opening for good old Acid Mothers Temple here in SF at Bottom of the Hill. Always a good time.

Another tour in Japan will happen sometime this year, either around June or in the fall. Plans will begin to solidify soon. We hope to not only play shows but also do some recording in Tokyo this time around, bringing in various friends to add to the Numinous Eye sound, which will be great fun.

I've been laid out with one flu/cold after another the last couple of weeks. I've coughed my lungs up all around the house. It's great, really.

The other great news, though, is that I have a new job, in San Francisco again. No more commuting, either helping kill the earth by car exhaust or spending hours waiting for multiple segments by mass transit. Hooray. It'll be pretty busy, but also a huge improvement over what my previous company turned into.
