Sometimes working at a music store is a little bit overly absurd (W). There’s an awful lot of madness and sometimes just mad – anger and frustration – but at least we’re around (E) guitars – and that’s still one of my favourite ways to blow off steam. (S) And so for five minutes here…

It’s been a frustrating 48 hours, slowly restoring my laptop to operating order. It looks like I’ve got things back up and running the way it’s all supposed to be, but it’s been an obnoxious couple of days. Still – every time I do something like this, the faster it goes. Did a photoshoot with…

Unfortunately, for all the amazing eye candy that occured at the Raw Spirit Festival, the only good photograph I got was of this hovering and frightening Brain Cloud. We were endangered by its very existence. The rest of the festival was neat – beautiful people doing beautiful things, but unfortunately sadly underpopulated. Any picture I…

IN all honesty, I think we were trying to find a wolf tone. The weather’s changing and it’s delicious. Saturday night we played at the Raw Spirit Festival and it was the last day of the summer’s heat, or so I pretend. The Raw Spirit Festival was fun, but slow. I hate things that run…

Listening to “Anna” by Antje Duvekot as the rain falls outside. I can feel myself slipping into the sadness that comes with things that remind me of my father not as he Lived but rather as he died. Like shaving, my grey hair and thinking he never heard us with cello – but I’m not…

Well – we’re moved. With the new zip code, I’ve technically moved back into Baltimore City again and I think I’m very, very happy. I’ve got to do some address change crap, call some companies and make sure they know where to send my bills, that sort of thing. Heather’s dropping off a desk tonight…

A Porsche almost kills us. I’m amazed at how frenetic some drivers are – with an average speed on I-95 that must be about 75mph, to have something come racing up in your rearview mirror, careening from lane to lane before vanishing past us, squeaking past 18-wheelers and startled SUVs – he MUST have been…

The CD release was amazing. I could get used to people actually LISTENING to us. The feeling of owning the room, of a pin drop being audible, of people hanging on your every word… and the feeling that we were giving it all back every bit as hard as people were asking for it. The…

It’s August again. Who’d’ve thunk? We’re rounding Columbus, OH on our way home, nosing our way towards I-70. From there it’s a straight shot back to Baltimore and then back to the pseudo-real-world. With the release of the new CD I’m hoping to start turning my economics back around – to start earning more money…

The Neil Armstrong Air and Space Museum in Unpronouncable, Ohio. We rounded a corner while looking for gas after playing in Ohio and were presented with a gigantic freakin’ ball. We parked at the corners of Saturn and Apollo and investigated eagerly… I’m not proud of the amount of fast food I consume. I’m trying…
