Death Cab Member Chris Walla: Music Terrorist

I just heard about this on KEXP, and it sent me scurrying for Google to find out, well, WTF?!

From Chris Walla’s blog:

I know it’s been a long time since I’ve updated this blog. Mostly it’s because I keep forgetting how to log in. My solo record is coming along nicely, despite the fact that the master drive was confiscated by US Homeland Security at the border (much of the record was recorded between Vancouver and Victoria, BC). I’m told it’s at ‘computer forensics in Quantico’ but I wouldn’t be able to tell you what that means in any real way; you see, there’s exactly no customer service element to our federal government.

My bolds. Note to US government: please drop the fucking paranoia. Please.

It’s not a Kafka novel, and I’m not a prisoner at Guantanamo. My life isn’t so bad. But still, this situation is a concrete and real reminder of what fuels the world we live in: It’s fear and mistrust and suspicion. And oil.

As this country is slowly drained of talent, both technical and artistic, we’re left with nothing save the lonely blue glow of television at night.
