   About John Baltic
I've been playing in a band called downward facing dog since 2002. You can find them among my myspace friends.

I've been spending a lot of time in Detroit these last few years and recording some stuff in a little basement studio. With the help of the downward facing dog guys, when I'm in California, and other people in Detroit and in Topanga, I've been layering tracks of my own stuff. There is, of course, some overlap. But "my stuff" includes more softer music where the band is more raucous.

Another Detroit project I am involved in is two utes - with Downtown Don Kirkland. Check us out HERE.

I'm also on YouBloom.Com at www.youbloom.com/web/bloomer545

My main website is at:

www.afterthecomet.com

There is more music from various projects I've been involved in up there in the, ahem, MUSIC section.

I also have a tribe.net profile at:

people.tribe.net/yonko

And, uh...

A STATEMENT FROM EXENE CERVENKA
June 2, 2009
After some months of not feeling 100% healthy, I recently had some medical tests run
and the prognosis is that I am suffering from Multiple Sclerosis.
Apparently, it has been affecting me for quite some time.

Although this is obviously unfortunate news, I am choosing to see the positive in it.
I, and X as a band, have supported the Sweet Relief charity since the mid-1990's;
the irony of this is not lost on any of us. Sweet Relief was started as an aide to uninsured artists by musician Victoria Williams when she herself was diagnosed with MS in 1992.

While this diagnosis will most certainly mean some changes for me, personally, it will not affect my commitments to the current X U.S. tour, nor will it affect my solo album that is slated for release this fall on Bloodshot Records.

My focus will certainly be on maintaining my health--many people remain strong and continue to live their lives as productively as they had before an MS diagnosis and I plan to be one of those people.

Good old days in America. "American Death" seems to get some attention. Great response on Reverb Nation. Thanks again for support. Your friendship and craziness is always an influence. We need another roller coaster ride.

Most kind.

I always find that by mixing intoxicating ol' redeye spirit with the chicken feed in advance of collecting the eggs, a perfect omelette is guaranteed. And no messy trowsers, which is an additional benefit as it leaves you the opportunity to exclusively mess them up later with your Shakira videos.

Ain't you got chickens in Detroit -or are you leaving more of them tasty full-breasted babies for the good honest law abidin' country folk of Virginia and North Carolina?

Keep on rockin' in the free etc...
