Insomnia

Hey y'all!! It's a rainy day here in Nash-vegas. I didn't fall asleep until 6:30am. That would be all fine and good if I didn't have to work @ 9am. And with the weekend I had, I should have passed out after the Red Sox won last night. Oh well. It was a great weekend regardless. Friday I wrote and recorded a new tune called "Etchings" which I'm really happy with. It's still very much in demo form but I think it will be the tune that finalizes my new record called Exit Sounds. More on that whole thing soon.

Saturday night I played for and with Mike Farley at his album release party in Hermitage. It was awesome!! Thanks again Mike and Wayne for inviting me out to play.

Sunday brought a marathon rehearsal with The New Whole Usuals. It's hard to believe that the show is happening on Saturday the 27th @ The Basement. It's going to be wild. We dropped off records at Grimey's on Saturday so be sure to grab your copy tomorrow exclusively at Grimey's. If you pick up Ween's new record, you'll get $1 off of The New Whole Usuals record. Both will provide a lifetime of musical wonderment.

Let's attempt this again....

Hi everybody. The great fourth transformation has begun. Actually, I'm sitting next to the transformation right now while it's being attempted. Bean is in the process of building me a new site. While I liked to convenience of my little weebly site, it simply didn't give me all of the elements I needed. It felt more like a blog (clearly, blogging isn't a bad thing) but it was time for a more profound site. Something that represents the noises that I make. It will hopefully be completed this evening and if so, it will be a world record for both site design and execution.

It's been an incredible day. I got to hear The New Whole Usuals receive their first bit of airplay on UK-based Error FM. They spun "No Name Sally" as the opening song on their show The Waiting Room. It was a pivotal moment indeed.

Also, earlier in the day I got an email from Mike Farley indicating that his song "All It Is" got spun this morning on Sirius Satellite Radio's The Coffeehouse. This tune is on Mike's new record entitled Moments and Memories. Said record was produced and engineered by yours truly at the Me and the Machine Studios. I'm super proud of this record. Hell, I'm proud of every record I've had the privilege of working on this year. And if 2008 is anything like 2007, then I'll probably go deaf and blind. Not sure what that means but let's run with it.
