Buddy Miles,
you were FUNKY.
1947-2008
Rest in Peace.

The Gumball 3000 Rally takes place in August, and I'm already setting my mind on the logistics. Two men, one car, 3000 miles, and a party every night to up the stakes. There's got to be a way to do it safely and without going insane. The first order of business? Picking the right car. Sure, we could track down a Rolls Phantom or a Bentley, and I can understand why some would, but the spirit of this rally is about endurance.

With that, the great Lorenzo Colberti and I took a late night drive from Los Angeles to Palm Springs. The purpose was to test the Ford GT for use in the rally. The result? We're taking it.

Full Flora
The GT isn't a luxury ride. It's got no traction control, no GPS, no clock, not even so much as a glove compartment. It's a race car. All it does is go. And it goes unlike any car on the road.

The Office
Believe it or not, the seats are remarkably comfortable. There's only about 4 inches of clearance between my head and the roof, but if I don't look up, it actually feels cozy.

Speedometer
I'll let this picture speak for itself.

Satellite Phone
We'll need this on the North Korea -> China run. People think it's a little strange, but I've owned a sat phone for several months now. In the event that something out of the ordinary happens and cell towers get overloaded, you'll want one of these. Works everywhere ON EARTH.

Trunk Space
The ultimate zen challenge.

Lorenzo
Lorenzo takes the wheel while I take notes on passenger-side modifications.

What Back Seat?
Something spiritually significant about having the heart of the machine at your back... We're going to have to use headsets to talk to one another. Engine and wind noise make talking difficult without straining the voice over time.

Macintosh
There's no better stereo system than a Macintosh, but this one needs an iPod input jack.

The Michibata
I had to do it for Honeyee.

New Jordan Force Fusion XII.

The last few times I've bought sneakers, I've asked to leave the boxes at the store so that they can recycle them. It also makes them easier to carry out. Maybe this plan makes sense for you, too??

Gonna go explore ghost towns in Arizona... And camp on the roof.

John Cage's most famous musical composition is called 4'33".

It was composed in 1952 for any instrument (or combination of instruments), and the score instructs the performer to not play the instrument during the entire duration of the piece.

In a 1982 interview, and on numerous other occasions, Cage has stated that 4′33″ is, in his opinion, his most important work.

'In the late 1940s John Cage visited the anechoic chamber at Harvard University. An anechoic chamber is a room designed in such a way that the walls, ceiling and floor will absorb all sounds made in the room, rather than bouncing them back as echoes. They are also generally extremely soundproof. Anechoic chambers are widely used for measuring the acoustic properties of instruments and microphones, and for performing psychoacoustic experiments.

Cage entered the chamber expecting to hear silence, but as he wrote later, he "heard two sounds, one high and one low. When I described them to the engineer in charge, he informed me that the high one was my nervous system in operation, the low one my blood in circulation."

I don't know if this explanation is accurate, but this experience is often described as the inspiration behind the famous Cage composition 4' 33".'

Two insanely SATISFYING albums. When I put an album on, I want is to be satisfied. It's 2008, my ears and eyes are tired and all I want is harmony. I want to hear a bunch of beautiful sounds going together in a beautiful way, pleasing the bejesus out of me. I listen to "In The Wee Small Hours" once a day. It's doing great things for me with the writing of my new album. "Satisfy me" is my new mantra...
