lyrics
lookin around for peace of ground
where the trees surround it
and the kids are makin up sounds like
birds runnin round the houses
and theres nothin at all from may to fall
‘cept the lunatics in the hall are all screaming lies at each other
and you wonder why you never felt so alive
on the morning of the day that you died
well go ask your brotherlet me in
i’ll be your friend
i’ll never change
i’ll spill my brains on you
just don’t be surprised
if there comes a time
that its all a lie
cause i’ve rearranged your truththe mines on your front lines are never shiny
they’re always so hard to find
and the sparks they make in your heart may be tiny
but they’re explosions in my mind
they sent me scattered grasping for some kind of pattern
to try and make sense of it all
well i hope it never made you feel so flattered
when i was splattered on your wall
she saidlet me in
i’ll be your friend
i’ll never change
i’ll spill my brains on you
just don’t be surprised
if there comes a time
that its all a lie
and i’ve rearranged your truthnow we’re lookin around for peace of ground
where the trees surround it
and we’re sure this time cause there are no straight lines
and the place the map told us to go
is not where we found it
all you boys and girls in the hollows of the world
when we let it all go we’ll know and they won’t have to tell us
and if you’ve realized the truth is full of lies
you know it won’t be the last time in this life
just go ask your elders
go ask your elders
go ask your elders
and they’ll say…released 09 March 2014

Vote for Micah Nelson & Insects vs Robots for Best Live Band in LA
Wednesday, February 5th, 2014
We recently put out the call for the best under-the-radar L.A. groups performing live around town, and we heard back from tons of you - not surprising considering L.A. is the country’s musical epicenter.
Now, it’s time for second round of voting. Below is a poll that lets you chose among the 67 bands who were nominated. One vote per person, please. We’re watching you!
The ten bands with the most votes will make it to the finals, held in the coming weeks. So vote, and spread the word!
GO HERE TO VOTE. They are in the top 20, let’s kick them up to the top ten.
Janis and I got to see Micah Nelson and the Insects versus Robots perform three times on our recent adventure: at Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic in Fort Worth, at the 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Back Yard, in Austin, and then as part of the Nickel Circus, at the White House Ranch Gallery, in East Austin.
There were games and challenges and animal balloons, contortionists, and one act I couldn’t watch, that involved drills and nails and it looked painful.
At one point, he jumped down and started twisting his body into shapes, amazing the crowd 
The world’s most limber guitar player ever and Janis from Texas.
Keep up with the band, find out about their shows and new album at their website:

J. Micah Nelson Artwork @ Erin Joyce Projects

“Where You End I Begin”
by J. Micah Nelson
The artwork of J. Micah Nelson is featured at Erin Joyce Projects.
Erin Joyce is an independent curator, art critic, and scholar of contemporary art. Erin is the editor-in-chief of ULTRA:EXTRA Magazine, an arts and culture writer for Art Wednesday (London), and contributing writer to Hyperallergic (New York).
Erin’s projects include exhibitions throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Middle East/NorthAfrica region. Erin has also served as a consultant for SXSW on the implementation of art during the festival and was the inaugural art editor for Aslan Media Inc., a contributor to Salon, Gnovis Journal, and content writer for the Modern Art Iraq Archive.
As a curator, Erin seeks to bend the notion of how contemporary art is presented and understood. Looking both inside and outside the construct of the museum and gallery as venue for art presentation, Erin seeks to refract art through the prism of the environment and contexts in which it was created.
J. Micah Nelson comes from a lineage of musical and cultural pioneers, growing up touring with his father Willie Nelson and his brother Lukas Nelson, he has always been surrounded with vibrant and authentic creative spirits. Both a talented visionary artist and iconoclastic musician, he has performed on shows like Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and at events like SXSW, FarmAid, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Neil Young’s Bridge-School Benefit. He has showcased his artwork and music in countless other venues, spanning the creative spectrum. From his involvement in the psych-punk-orchestra Insects vs. Robots, his live performance-painting and multi-instrumental contributions to the band POTR with his brother Lukas, to his cymatic visualizations of dancing water molecules, idiosyncratic charango performance, and singing/songwriting/guitar playing with his neo-psych-folk-rock band Pårticle Kid, Micah is constantly exploring the symbiosis of light/sound/vibration, striving to discover new emotions through various forms of expression, and seeking to touch the outer reaches of the synesthetic experience.

Micah Nelson, Insects vs Robots: New album! on Tour!
Wednesday, January 15th, 2014
Insects vs Robots has a new album, available on ITunes, and available to order (in limited quantity) on cassettes and vinyl at their website. Follow the band on FaceBook, or Twitter. The band is so advanced they probably have other ways of communicating directly with you from their heads to yours, but I don’t plan on getting that involved. I am crazy about this band and their music, and continually amazed by the art of J. Micah Nelson. Check his art out at his website, and here’s some chances to see the band; see them when you can. Their shows are greatly entertaining; they are all so talented, in many ways.
