mixing the new songs. live show.
I can’t believe that Don’t Die came out nearly 4 years ago. I have been working on new songs and writing and recording but sometimes the shit in my life piles up and I can’t quite get everything finished. But I’m finally there, 10 songs recorded and almost ready to go. Still putting the final […]
c.layne remix
A few weeks back c.layne asked me to remix one of his songs off his new album Shark Week. I was really struck by the first song on the album “You Think You’re So Clever” so I figured that would be a good one to rip apart and reconstruct! If you haven’t already heard it, […]
I just joined the SCCA
Just in case this whole indie rock internet recording artist thing doesn’t work out, I joined the Sports Car Club of America— a baby step towards an illustrious auto racing career. So, no, I don’t really own a race car, yet. But I have big plans. Or, maybe just plans. I got hooked on the […]
Band of robots
My friend Ross sent this to me, he saw it over at the MatrixSynth site. YouTube video is via musica95. A band with a robot guitarist? Pretty cool. A band with a robot drummer? Neato. How about a band with a robot vocalist? That’s pretty amazing. This artist (Maywa Denki) has found a way to […]
Ted Stevens / Sufjan Stevens
I thought it would be cool if Alaska senator Ted Stevens and indie-rocker Sufjan Stevens joined forces to form an action hero team. Since I wasn’t able to actually make this happen, I decided to waste some time and do a few sketches of them both. Luckily my brother turned this into something much cooler. […]
Live and Studio setups
I’ve had a bunch of people ask me what gear I use, so I took a couple photos of what I’m using these days. I invariably switch this up to try new things, so maybe tomorrow this will be outdated. I recently sold a lot of the studio stuff that I wasn’t using much. Sold […]
Brushing up on my nerd skills
So I spent the couple days brushing up on my nerd skills, converting my old table-based website into a completely CSS site, learning some PHP and using WordPress to drive the whole thing. I really have avoided learning any new web stuff for the last 5 or so years, so the last two days has […]

stayed up late = new myspace layout
If you’re reading this, you probably already know… but i felt like being a total nerd and pimped out my myspace page. it was kind of a pain in the ass. And i’m positive there are probably other things that are a better use of my time. and i stayed up till 3am working on […]
