The first time I heard I and Love and You by the Avett Brothers, I changed the station without even hearing who the song was by. I put it in the same category of cheesy ballads from the likes of Snow Patrol and wasn’t grabbed by its simplicity. The second time I heard it, I was [...]

I finally got around to seeing Where The Wild Things Are today. I thought it was great. I don’t know it took me so long to get around to seeing it. It’s funny to think that the last two movies that I’ve seen have really been kids movies for adults. If kids can understand the deeper [...]

I was listening to This American Life and they had the group Improv Everywhere featured on one of their stories. I’d heard this particular story before about how they gave an unknown band their best gig ever on a Sunday night. Feel free to check out the story by following this link. It’s pretty interesting [...]

I’m a third of the way through the HBO miniseries, The Corner, which I’m able to watch because Netflix is awesome. The Corner was created by the same people who made The Wire, but precedes it by a couple of years. As anyone who is close to me knows, I didn’t know what to [...]

We’re finishing up my brother’s 3 song demo today. Well, actually, Tim will be finishing his parts and Brian Packer and I will probably need a few more nights to finish up the rest of the tunes. It sounds great as I said before.

I had coffee this morning on an empty stomach and I haven’t [...]

Things are pretty busy here in the studio. We’ve been going since early in the afternoon and we’ll be going late into the night. I don’t have a lot of time to knock out a substantial post so I’d like to direct you all over my friends Cahill and their blog. They’re wrapping up their shows [...]

I’m in the studio this weekend producing (or as I like to say chaperoning) my brother’s first demo recording. We started it a couple of months ago and are only now wrapping it up. It sounds great, however, and I was marveling at how I had to record like 8 CDs before I had one [...]

I was blown away after reading this article on the New York Times website that talked about Apple’s recent acquisition of Lala, a Palo Alto based music start-up. I hadn’t thought much about what the landscape of the music industry will be like post-downloading but the idea of having all music hosted on the Web or [...]

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to listen to Jonathan Safran Foer speak in Brookline. He is the author of two successful novels, Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Both are awesome and are highly recommended. His most recent release, however, is non-fiction and it’s called Eating Animals. It’s a book [...]

I had finished this post before I decided to start my “Thing of the Day” series but I forgot to publish it. Now I can recycle it as the inaugural post for the TOTD. Mwahaha!

My favorite singer-songwriter is doing a short run of shows in the Northeast this week. In fact, he’s in Northampton tonight [...]
