My love of the ruination came back this morning as i was inspired to view Detroit from live.com, with their Bird’s Eye satellite view. The city’s fabric is so full of holes, it’s leaves me awestruck but also inspired, as the city is in the midst of a mini-renaissance (the age-old combination of big cheap space and the artists and designers who seek that space always eventually works, even in cities long forgotten). Then I did some more searching, and found SeeDetroit. I like to think that they unintentionally liked the idea that you can read it as Seed Detroit. Some great photo collections, though they have an inconsistent template design (the designer in me can’t help but be perturbed).
Hey kids, I wanted to make a quick post about a show I’m playing soon. I’ll be playing some of my new songs at Crane’s Tavern in Hollywood, CA on Sunday March 16. I’ll be doing some live looping with two digital Echoplexes and a bunch of pedals. No more acoustic guitar, I’ll be kicking it with my $150 Fender Toronado. Come on out and have some fun, and drink many $3 Pabst Blue Ribbon drafts.

Coudal Partners makes my day with their response to Hilary’s latest scare-tactic campaign ad.
This Friday, the elusive February 29th (a Friday), I am doing an audio performance at Dangerous Curve gallery in downtown LA (in the Arts District). It is a collaboration with Mike Feldman and Ethan Tufts.
The performance begins at 8pm, we will go on around 9-ish. They charge a sliding scale, from $7 to $10.
They are located near where 4th street crosses the LA river – right near my loft if you know where that is. It’s a couple of blocks east of Alameda. Its all made clear on their website.
Performers:
Jeremy Quinn – Guitar, delay
Michael Feldman – Keyboards/synth
Ethan Tufts – Vocal, delay
Concept:
This performance is a Fluxus inspired audio performance with live video documentation. It uses conditions and events at the immediate location of the gallery to form part of a score for three musicians. The musicians and the audience are remote from each other, as the audience remains in the gallery while the performers are stationed in the neighborhood itself. The audience gets to hear a version of the local life around them, translated through musical reactions to normal events taking place outside. It is in essence a score based upon the daily life of the neighborhood.
Also performing that night will be
Ampersand
And Danny Holt

OMG, I have been listening to the Bee Gees for the past couple of days, and some of their songs are.. uh.. GODDAMN AWESOME. Just go listen to Jive Talkin’ on headphones.. the intro is insane. Has anyone sampled that yet? The bass is more bad-ass then I ever remembered it. What does this mean? Am I really finally getting so old that I can like the Bee Gees? Damn. I need to go climb a tree or something juvenile.
If you give David Horvitz specific sums of money he will complete a variety of specific actions that will not only make both your and his lives better, but also effect the livelihood of his landlord, a homeless person, a Buddhist monk, a cat in LA, or in many cases the airlines industry. I wish I had thought of this. Nice one David.
Tai Chi on a roof in Downtown Los Angeles from Jeremy Quinn on Vimeo.
Practicing my Tai Chi on the roof of my building this weekend. This is the classical Yang style long form. It’s 20 minutes long, but when you do it really slow it takes more like 45 minutes. Check out my teacher Tim’s website if you are interested in Tai Chi.
