Two new brews into the carboy on Sunday. Well, one brew and one straight ahead apple cider + yeast dealie. It’s my first time doing hard cider, so I really have no idea what to expect. I had initially wanted to make a hard ponche, since this’ll be ready right around Xmas and [...]
Last night at a little dinner party, William and I cracked open the last remaining bottles of our very first forays into homebrewing, from July and August of 2007. Batch #0001 was called “West Coast Pale Ale,” a HomeBrewMart starter recipe. At the time we noted the beer was very “safe,” that is to say [...]
I’ve just about recovered fully from a pequin chile. This little thing, barely the size of my pinky nail, packed a mighty wallop. It had a very nice bright, herbal and somewhat citrus-like flavor for about 3 seconds before the heat kicked in. And, probably owing to the minuscule size of the chile, it was [...]
Beautiful, beautiful chiles! Given to me by a friend of my dad’s, probably the best part about this particular Thanksgiving. And I only know the bookends: the far left chile is a pequin, a tiny sucker about 5 times spicier than a japaleño; the far right chile [...]

This past weekend was the 54th annual Society for Ethnomusicology Conference, at which I presented a slightly updated version of my IASPM-US paper, albeit with a different title (“Creative Listening: Playlists, Mixtapes, and the Virtual Ethnography of [...]
Yup, Aquapuke is officially a band. Not only did we play the Che Cafe, we finally got a flyer that’s not done up in Microsoft Word. The show was crazy in a good way, probably our most energetic yet (and boy, did it hurt). Turns out substituting grape juice for wine didn’t [...]
Because I’m so absolutely sure that there’s someone out there who is curious about Aquapuke but unable to attend a performance, I’ve decided to upload a recording that Clint and I made of the final rehearsal of Aquapuke and the Industrial Transsexual, our most recent piece. It should be clear, of course, that this recording [...]
Last night was the (first) performance of Aquapuke and the Industrial Transsexual, a piece based on the story of German pop singer Kim Petras. Clint and I aimed primarily to create a ritualistic feel for the piece, focusing especially on coming of age, the movement between genders, and of the consumption of [...]
