If you’re curious, pop on over to my new work blog and check it out. Not much doing there so far — considering I just put it up today — but there should be good stuff coming up soon. I’ll be migrating all of my work-related content over there in the coming days/weeks/months. I think […]

"Monster Fashion" video
Jarret Keene asked me to make some videos for the spoken-word pieces on his album Monster Fashion. This is the first one, the title track. The clips are made up of bits of things from the Prelinger archives and YouTube (mostly the former). It’s not exactly David Fincher, I know, but it’s cute.
A word of advice…

New track – "Redwood City Station"
I’m currently building a mini-site for Red State Soundsystem, as my old band site is on an expired web account (not mine, long story)…but for now, here’s something new: a total reworking of my older song “Redwood City Station”. It sounds to me like a cross between TV On The Radio, M.I.A. and David Sylvian, […]

Sam Cooke @ Daily Mojo
I’ve written an appreciation of Sam Cooke, with some MP3s, over on the Daily Mojo. Please do check it out, as I think it’s a good piece. And if you don’t know Sam Cooke, check it out immediately. You’ll thank me. If you’ve ever heard Sam Cooke’s voice, in songs like “Cupid”, “Twistin’ The Night […]
