BRIGHT BLACK HEAVEN

Davey’s verified on Twitter, under a new username. (“I am now. A true Bird.”) (If you were following him before, you still are.) Update your bookstalks, I mean bookmarks.

And for the record: Jade is still at @jadepuget; Blaqk Audio doesn’t have a Twitter but @BlaqkNews exists; and the other half of @AFI* are still at @TranquilMammoth and @AdamCarsonAFI.**

*@AFI’s second to last tweet says Davey doesn’t have a Twitter. Ha ha.

**Adam’s last tweet to a certain female says “This bed is too big without you.” Dude. There’s private messages for that kind of thing.

who tells me the exact and accurate source of the chai and muffin quote. (“Old ladies come up to me all the time telling me to find God. Look, all I want to find is some chai and a good vegan muffin.”) I’m pretty sure the source exists somewhere on the internet (I think I’ve seen it?), but google…

Well I love a good hunt. This took longer to find than I’m willing to admit. For the vegan muffin quote, the article is called “Despairing with AFI” and was in the April 17, 2003 Rolling Stone. It seems like no one ever bothered to scan it because it was on Rollingstone.com but sometime in the past year or two it’s been deleted from their archives.

FOUND IT. Thank you! (I think I owe you at least half of a kidney now… send me your address if you really need it >_>)

With his dyed-black hair twisted up in chopsticks, Havok is a dead ringer for the Material Girl’s Asian-earth-mother incarnation — you wait for the flock of doves to fly out of his belly. But it takes a disapproving Madonna fan at a Dean and Deluca gourmet food store in New York to point out the similarity. “I’m relieved that’s all she wanted,” he says. “Usually, old ladies tell me to find Jesus. Look, I’m just trying tofind some chai and a good vegan muffin.” And that’s, decidedly, not punk rock.
