Ghosts of WMCs Past (More Free Music!)

Yes, it’s that time of year again. The time of year where my long-standing tradition of hopping into a certain, late 90s model Chevrolet Cavalier with Mark Verbos and driving to Miami for the Winter Music Conference is upheld and renewed. Verbos and I first made this journey by auto in the late 90s. Although some [...]

Free Music! Live Acoustic @ Kill Devil Hill – Virtual 7″

I took my new portable recorder with me on tour and though I wasn’t as vigilant in recording our shows as I’d like to have been, I managed to get a couple. I took these two songs from the recording of my Brooklyn set since it’s home and there were so many great people that [...]

My 2010 MySpace Friend Request Policy™

Every time I visit my MySpace account, I keep getting this creepy feeling like I’m in some sort of sci-fi, future-apocalyptic ghost town.

A few years ago my friend Casey Roberts and I discussed the idea of collaborating by using each other’s art/music as prompts for the other. At some point he gave me a handful of small pieces to start with. It took awhile, but I finally found myself in a place where I was ready to work [...]
