Devendra Banhart Goes on Tour While I Stay Home and Start a Series of Exquisite Corpses

Remember that time Devendra Banhart was in that music video with Beck? Too bad Beck is a total scientologist. Maybe a few passages from Dianetics will help Devendra clean up. Shave, get a haircut, get a real job. I’ve heard he’s always wanted to adopt some Chinese children; just go ahead and realize that dream, buddy!

Oh, but if a dream is but a dream, then a boy is but a boy; though we all know an eight-year-old is quite different in soul and britches to a twelve-year-old, but let’s not hold it (or him) against Devendra. Think “Little Children” on tour, coming to your town! Trust me, these will be all-ages affairs. No confirmation yet, but word is kids under twelve get free backstage passes. So when your girlfriend’s little brother wants to tag along, just send him backstage and start in on the tonsil-hockey.

Afterwards, don’t even worry about cleaning up, these kids know they have to pick up after themselves if they want animal crackers and apple juice. The minivans pull up and it’s quiet again, but not for long. An inviting scent seeps under the curtains and you feel as insignificant as Jennifer Aniston after her split with Pitt, because yet again, the Petya Romanov family has overcome the internet.
