I’m glad that my post on “Sincerity in Songwriting” got some dialogue going. As always, I got a response from Jeff and I got a comment from Ryan Schmidt that I accidentally marked as ’spam’ so I had to re-post it on my own. I think it’s interesting and not at all clean cut and [...]

I had an ice cream bar from Trader Joe’s at about 10pm last Sunday night (Mocha Java or something…it was OK but the strawberry flavored one is fantastic!) and because I’m an idiot—and because it had coffee—I was unable to sleep. This happens about 3x a year when I have caffeine way later than [...]

I called an audible at the last minute and decided to take Lucky Star bus company into NYC rather than driving. It saved me over $100 and I felt a lot safer than taking the Fung Wah bus. Unfortunately, it was a major pain to bring all of my equipment on the bus. It made [...]

Thanks to Jeff and Malissa for tipping me off to the following topical article.

I’m going to NYC tomorrow and I’m going to be driving my Honda Accord. I’m playing a paid private gig and I’ve calculated the costs and it will be costing me about $150 round trip (that includes mileage in my lease, gas, [...]

I met with Gary (agent Gary) today in Salem, NH and it was about 45-minutes of shrugging. Gary’s been doing great work since I started working with him in April but it doesn’t seem like we’re making any traction. We can only blame so much of it on the economy before we’re like, “What the [...]

It’s 1am on Sunday and I essentially broke my daily commitment to write in the blog…but I’m going to go ahead and say that this one counts for Saturday. 

Anyhow, this is my second post in as many days that has nothing to do with music. I’ve been stressing a lot lately due to my financial [...]

This post has nothing to do with music. I’ve been eagerly awaiting the new Batman movie The Dark Knight immediately upon seeing Batman Begins. I’ve never geeked out so much over something before and the original plan was to see it in IMAX but because opening weekend is roundly sold out in IMAX, I saw it [...]

I met with Will Dailey today for the first of our pre-production meetings for the new album. It went swimmingly. We got to catch up from his time on the road, talked about future whiffle ball endeavors, (note: ‘whiffle’ doesn’t come up as a misspelling on my spell check…that’s a surprise) and started working through the [...]

I started this blog in October (in its old form) as a way to keep people in the loop about what I’ve been up to as well as a way for me to be able to look back on past accomplishments and to hone myself as a writer. Sometime over the last few months, I [...]

This has been a trying summer and I’m not going to get into why. Those who know me know well and those who don’t can read past posts but it’s been my own ‘quarter-life crisis’ (this blogger hates to quote Mr. Mayer…but it’s happening.

Anyhow, it is because of the support of a few friends and [...]
