I know what you’re thinking. “George Bush really didn’t have to give me this $300, $600 or $1200 check, but I’m sure glad he did. Now what should I spend it on?”
Well, aside from chipping in to help me raise money to send African children to school (CLICK HERE) you could always buy […]

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I just signed up to run a 5k race. Which turns out to be something like 3.1 miles. Which is probably more than the grand total that I’ve run since high school. But I’m going to do it.
And I need your help.
The event is called […]

You asked, I answered. Here are a couple…

Chris asked -

I don’t even want to know how much time I spent making this. Hope you enjoy!

So yesterday was drums and bass day on my new project. Andy Hubbard and Aaron Sands were the backbone, Andy Hunt was tweaking the knobs, and Neilson and I were […]

I’ve been learning a lot these days, or it seems, I’ve been unlearning a lot these days.
I’m usually a talker. I have a lot to say. You’ve probably noticed, if you read this blog for a while, that I haven’t had that much to say recently.

Somebody suggested this, and I thought it might be a good idea. We’re going to do a bit of a “Reader Mailbag” type thing. Do you have any questions about what’s behind a song, a guitar sound, some opinion we’ve discussed? Leave your questions as comments on this post. Thanks! […]

Well, Neilson and I have finished up our first week of working together. We’re doing four tunes, and they’re turning out great. Tuesday we’ll go back in and cut drums and bass, but right now it’s just some guitars, some vocals, a few finger snaps and a lot of Garett’s thumpings and bangings. […]
