this one (click here) is kind of a craigslist missed connection with theme-park character actor cosplay, all played out as a spaghetti western in a convention center somewhere. and of course, some other shit. i originally had our protagonist wishing he could be a klingon next year. “western swagger” i lost none of my swagger… Continue reading western swagger

tonight i should have just gone to bed, but instead i sat down at the computer and started playing tchaikovsky through the string ensemble sampler in logic, one thing led to another and soon i had this stoney outtake. i swear there are cannibinoids in these scharffen berger chocolate bars. i can’t really imagine using… Continue reading attention tune-starved stoners

man i think i have drastically changed. i used to be so protective of work in progress, and now i just couldn’t give a shit. put on yer headphones and listen to this one LOUD. so here’s the story with this one : the vocals are a seriously rough track. they’re a little “pitchy”, and… Continue reading the list: yet another song

sort of a comment on all the blog/social software/fuckster stuff going on. i managed to make it a little creepy/obsessive as well. (i guess this is a good point to say this is NOT autobiographical. ok maybe slightly. i feel pretty fucking sexy every time i walk to bart. but the stalker undertone is from… Continue reading i wrote a new song

this is from a few years back, when i was living in l.a. in the hollywood hills, had blonde hair halfway down my back, and we had a regular gig down on the sunset strip at the roxbury.
