Dear Listener, How are you? I am fine. Right now, I am AirPlaying Hannibal from Amazon Instant Video (man do I wish you could airplay 5.1 right now), while moving files from an SD card to my hard drive, while moving encoded video of the complete series of Daria (from Ana’s legitimately bought DVD) through…
Another ball has dropped, leaving us all to pick ours up and get moving. I’m out of the cliché NYE resolutions — I’m drinking less, eating healthier, losing weight, recording, experimenting with riffs — for once I’m coming into a new year in full swing of getting everything I need to get done, done. That…
If you’re wandering the streets of Astoria this Thursday evening, please stop in and watch me play at the Rapture Lounge from 9 to 9:45 — Rapture is a great wine-and-cocktail spot, with a nice lounge atmosphere and a friendly staff.

Yesterday, I used this video to propose to my beloved, and she said yes! Thank you to everybody who wished us well yesterday. It was the anniversary of our first date as well, so she gave me a fun bunch of anniversary presents, which I’ll post visuals for as soon as I have them: A…

I just got invited to play Rockwood Music Hall’s stage 1 tomorrow night at 6 PM, courtesy of Gus at Rockethub! This is my first time playing Rockwood in over two years, so please, if you can, come vote for me playing their with your fine, sexy bodies! (No lie, I need your bods in…
Tonight will be my first night in the studio, recording with Brandon Wilde, making “Two People Made This Mess” a reality! I spent the morning writing out the BPMs from the demos to give us a guiding light through the first session (for click-track purposes) — most likely, we’re gonna do a bunch of live…
A million things to say, a million ways to start, but only one post to create. A lot of people make this look very easy. From June 27 – August 10th, I ran a campaign on the NYC-based crowdfunding site Rockethub, in order to cover the recording costs for “Two People Made This Mess.” In…
