In the studio with Sixpence, putting overdubs on our 2 songs. They are coming out well, and I’m happy about them. Matt is an excellent guitarist and cellist. I found myself quite keyed up after the recording sessions…wondering if everyone was happy and if things were on the right track. I don’t want to disappoint [...]
Walked the long walk with dogs and mom was at breakast club so I had to wait a bit, so I read the piece in the New Yorker about Scientology. It was so objective, it really didn’t make it seem nefarious at all. It basically talked about how the Scientologists are great renovators of old [...]
In Sound Emporium with Sixpence, and the engineer is great. Russ Long. I guess he worked with them on their first record. It was Jason Lehning on keys, Justin on Bass and Matt and myself on guitars. Sam Ashworth came by for a bit. We all went to lunch at Athens and I had a [...]

I know, I know. I’ve been a slacker of gargantuan proportions. I really hope I can maintain this thing now. Well, I guess we’ll see. Lots been happening. Worked yesterday with Troy on the uke record, and it’s coming along. I’m such a crappy piano player, though. I mean, I like my ideas and parts [...]
Well, Guilty Pleasures performed last night, to a sold out crowd, and it was really a lot of fun. Quite a marathon, though. And K.J. was there, hanging out with me, and it was really fun. Best New Years I can remember! My mom says 2008 is going to be an excellent year for me, [...]
