so.... done?

i guess we've gone as far as we are ready to go. in this home studio world, you can get locked up for weeks/months , tinkering and tinkering. i'm choosing not to do this. at this stage, with the budget I have, i'm going with what i have - an unmastered demo that i'm giving away for free. at some point, if a label steps in, there are some things i will have to do: mastering, i'd like to run the entire mix through some analogue tape, etc. as for now it's done and yours for the taking. thanks so much to rory. i learned and grew making this as much as any other project in my life. rory is a true professional and i would recommend him for anything. i'd also like to thank the scotts, s2k & campbell for playing on this and giving me great ideas and support. you're true friends for life. and rae for everything you do.

so, here it is.

listening to: my new stuff, the new thom york

here in LA

I'm finally getting into a rhythm here in LA. Finally. Practicing a fair amount, trying to find some new, brave heroes. I need a DJ, drummer and a keyboardist.
Starting to write for the first time in a while. I have some new ideas, simpler musically, hopefully some cool lyrics.
I went to the Pitchfork festival over the weekend. Wow, Yeasayer killed and the Flaming Lips are like the greatest children's story ever. Incredible.
Listening to:
apt - Coltrane, Talk Talk, Cymbals Eat Guitars
car - Keri Hilson, whatever is on KCRW

in LA

I have moved to LA and thanks to my buddy Josh Cagan, landed pretty softly over here.  I'm now looking for new live heroes.  Know anybody?

Listening to: various Eric Dolphy, the Cars comp that came out on Rhino and right wing/christian talk radio in the  car
