    Here’s Hot Wax Action #6, a one-hour podcast in which I tear around the yard on a ride-on mower, play some records at the wrong speed, try to interview a kitten, and record an outdoor jam with the microphone set up in the woods half a kilometer away.

    There’s a contest in this week’s podcast. Find the question in there somewhere, and if you know the answer off the top of your head, go type it in at facebook.com/JaguarKnightMusic.

    Sometimes I wonder why evolution hasn’t given us more fucked-up animal hybrids. You’d think that at some point in a million years, you’d wind up with a mutant fox that could fuck a raccoon, or a rabbit that could fuck a partridge. But foxes and raccoons all seem to keep to themselves during the few generations of animals I’ve seen during my time on this zoo of a planet.
I’ve been thinking about all this on the eve of my first tour as Jaguar Knight, which is a cross between a wild cat and a chess piece.
Some people refer to a Knight as a “Horse” and serious chess players will get a little ticked off about that but I’m the kind of guy who likes to say “I could care less” even though that expression seems to piss off a lot of people too. Anyway, I’m a horse.
