It’s December 2009. I just performed a show with Sam James from The Wowz. Sam spouts words like few people, and with a guitar in hand he lets loose melodies that shortcircuit my brain with their unpredictable perfection. Working with others, especially those I rarely work with, always shifts my perspective on my own work. [...]

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 [...]

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.

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.

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 [...]

About two weeks ago a bunch of the bookclubbers descended upon the ASCAP offices and recorded a podcast. We each played a song, and there’s a little interview happening. You can check out the ASCAP Podcasts but it’ll probably fall off when the new podcast comes up. So you can: Download the podcast Discover what [...]

Just found out there are some live recordings of myself and friends from the Welcome to Boog City festival. You can get all the recordings here: Welcome to Boog City audio page. Here’s a recording of Preston and I playing a Lou Reed song. For fun, we switched it up such that Preston played guitar, [...]

I made a recording of the second song I wrote inspired by Flatland. Although inspired by the book, the spark was listening to Susan play her Flatland song while at the show. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download She’s So One-Dimensional (acutey)
