Mon, 18 September 2006  The longer it takes the better it feels when you get there. I dusted off the old beat box - Boss DR-202 a.k.a. "Dr. Groove" - for the September 2006 Unity Stage show. Dr. Groove was the heartbeat for the Radio Plastic Jennifer album - but oddly enough, "Liquefy" was one of the few tracks on that record that was strictly acoustic. Enjoy. Comments[0] |
Mon, 11 September 2006  Freedom falling rushing down, down, down... we collide. Written and recorded for the Ones and Zeros album on a sweltering hot day in the summer of 2001. The lyrics didn't make much sense at the time beyond a general emptiness I felt in my gut. They made a lot more sense the day the towers fell. Namaste. Comments[0] |
Sat, 9 September 2006  We'll have cartoon sex like Diznee How did I wind up buying a Telecaster in 2000? I did a Joni Mitchell tribute show in New Orleans with the old band that summer. Goofy airlines wouldn't let me bring the acoustic guitar on the plane. Borrowed show organizer Michael Paz's Fender to use that night. It rocked. Bought an electric shortly thereafter. So the Tele Sessions are a handful of demos of songs written with the new guitar. The warm-up for the Ones and Zeros record. The four-track cassette special. And why "Diznee?" I was improvising lyrics. They were ridiculous, but something told me to go with it. And "diznee" rhymed. And apropos, in light of recent reports. (Note: Keep your mouse ears open for the musicial D.N.A. of "Jennifer.") Comments[0] |
