Please note the guidelines for sending me hate mail below.

April 29th, 2011

I have no idea how to address this anymore. Despite practically stalking the cravewhatever people, telling them I’m just . . . . nobody. A musician. A guitar player. That’s it. Still nothing. They deal with super famous people and I get that. So since it seems like I’ll be an asshole for the time being, please adhere to the following policies:

1) If you send me hate mail, use spell check. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE SPELL CHECK. You’re driving me insane.

2) I don’t care if you took a semester of sociology at the community college. I don’t care if your great uncle Samuel knew Sitting Bull. Or that you enjoy the spirituality of nature. Just get to the point where you call me a jerk. Thanks. It’ll save me time on this end.

3) I’m really really sorry I offended everyone. Really. What a terrible week this has been.

There you go. Fire away.

Almost Done!

April 28th, 2011

LAST DAY of recording and then we mix this goddamn thing!

I broke the news to Maeve that I’ll be selling her into slavery to pay for the rest of this album. Life isn’t all chew toys and rolling in dead pigeons, you know.

In more recent news, I really love Tool. Like, a lot.

Plus!

Yes, I am almost exclusively on the FB page at this point.

Which is here.

Don’t expect super highbrow content. One day I talked endlessly about cheese. Just saying.

I REALLY Didn’t Do That Interview.

April 27th, 2011

I thought it was just a glitch but I’m on day three of receiving emails praising or hating my interview which never happened with Todd at idontlikeyouinthatway.com. I feel like I’m erasing FB posts every 4 hours. In any case, the official word is: those cats and I have never even MET, they are clearly not a music blog, and the “interview” in question is a bunch of off the record comments I made during an interview months and months ago. That’s the news kids.

Incidentally, I spent the better part of yesterday on their site and elsewhere trying to figure this shit out, and they are smart and funny. If you have a sensitive constitution, just don’t go there.

As you know, the part of my brain that understands how the internet works is the size of a lentil, so I have no idea why this is happening, and I can’t even find the goddamn thing when I look for it myself. I’ve tried to contact them but haven’t connected.

So if you’re planning on writing me an email on the subject, please consider the above. And yes, I did say those things. Out loud. To another breathing human. A few of you think it’s racist, but I hardly know how to answer you since these are my folks and jesus I should know.

Miracles Still Happen

April 22nd, 2011

After many months, I finally remembered my stupid password to update this page. I really need to be writing these things down. Consequently, stay tuned for a bit of a site overhaul, and in the meantime, hang out with me on the FB page . . . I spend way more time than I should there .
