I treated myself to some new stuff for my home studio. I have an old Echo Audio Gina PCI card that was making some popping and clicking so I got a Presonus Firebox which so far is kinda having some latency issues that are disappointing. I also replaced my old keyboard controller with an M-Audio… Read more »

I finally sold my 70’s silver face twin the other day. I had tried to put it on Craigslist and I showed it to one guy, but then I realized that it needed tubes and I didn’t want to try and sell it without knowing that it was not going to fuckup for someone else…. Read more »

I like Rogue Wave, I mean I really like them. But this show was not all that good. I think that their record is one of the best to come out in years but unfortunately they do not have enought material to hold a show together as a headliner. At least right now. I saw… Read more »

I have been raving about Grand National – Kicking the National Habit to just about anyone that will listen. It’s one of those CD’s that creeps up on you and then you keep hearing random songs and wondering “Who is this?” and damnit its Grand National again. Sometimes spooky good and sometimes cheesey 80’s dance… Read more »

Got a great email from someone who auditioned to be a bass… Read more »

We went to an OLD 97s show the other weekend. Super fun. Alanna could not resist getting a new T-shirt.

Since I am unable to play guitar and do most music stuff since my motorcycle accident, I have decided that I will make an electronica record under the name “One Arm Quebec”. Quebec is the name they gave me at the emergency room after the accident. When you come in they give you an alphabetical… Read more »

Alanna and I went to the Nada Surf show last friday at Bimbos. They were great to see and very chatty with the audience. They missed sound check so the sound was a bit wacky. Sometimes the backing vocals were louder than the lead. Maybe I am picky. Highlights would be Ira fucking up while… Read more »

My band is having its first show this friday. We are pretty excited. As of now we have four shows lined up in the next couple of months. Now if we could only get off our asses and write and record some new stuff. Oh wait that is my job.
