More tape recordings. This one probably from December 2009. A demo of a song that I performed with Daoud as part of our Wet Bandits/Sticky Bandits collaboration last year. It’s the first recording of done of myself playing drums, and the part largely mimics what Daoud did (thanks Daoud!). Since recording the song, I’ve changed [...]

I just finished the The Illuminatus! Trilogy. I toted this tome in my bag for two months, going across the country, coming back, and breaking to read other books. Even though I’ve been very committed to the novel, I’m not sad to see it’s end. I would recommend it, but only if you have a [...]

Years ago Phoebe asked me to write a song for her to perform at a sort of variety show that was held at Cake Shop. Phoebe often writes about historical figures, so I wrote a song that would (sort of) fit in her song catalog about Ada Lovelace. Ada Lovelace was one of the world’s [...]

Continuing my 2009 tape dumps (see my Nirvana and Phoebe Kreutz recordings), here’s a recording of “Suddenly Something’s Changed”, a Huggabroomstik song. I’ve played the song many times with the band, but arranging the song around my guitar part gave me a perverse thrill.

So I took a lot of images while on the west coast last month, and I couldn’t write stories for them all. Here’s a batch of photos, unexplained.

Continuing my unloading of 4-track recordings from last year, here’s a recording of Phoebe’s “Bull Run, Beer Run”. This was more fun than the Nirvana recording because I got more bold with experimenting with other instruments.

March 21, 2010 – Buckeye, Arizona I wake up in a smelly motel room. Time to talk awake, and take a walk. I start on the sidewalk. Then I take to the road. My destination, a big statue, stands 40 feet tall in the distance. Walk walk walk. Stand proud, giant hobo. I wonder who [...]

A few years ago I was invited to perform the songs “Something in the Way” and “Endless, Nameless” at a Nirvana cover night. It was a challenge to feel satisfied with playing the songs because I wasn’t familiar with Nirvana’s music – I only knew a few singles. I didn’t even listen to all of [...]
