Hard at work on songs for “smoke, mirrors & the heartache that follows”. (coming spring of 2011) In the studio with Ian, Mike & Sid of Fischerspooner.  (Brooklyn, NY) synth heavy goodness right around the corner (tentative EP title, “postwar:the surrender”) “hush”, “waiting for daylight” & “all of me” – a few tunes that will [...]

I feel the rug being pulled – fighting desperately to keep my wits about me.  I’ve returned home to the great and overwhelming.  New roofs to find and possibly a new city to call home.  I don’t know.  I believe I’m more afraid than brave.  What could be the best decision for my future could [...]

Lost in the heart of all her imperfect perfection.  The 6 to the L and everything in between. I sit, high overhead – going over every memory.  Six days of anxiety and the feeling of holding a chunk of all that’s missing.  Full days of hashing out melody & line – nights filled with midtown [...]

…once again I let time get away from me – here is a blog I stated a while back. Little rest this time around.  I returned home after 2 weeks on the road – the last 2 days spent filming my first solo music video for “sunday black”.  A quick repack – time with friends [...]

I’m the kid – hand in air – mid winter request for Sun & Shine.  The cramp of winter has found no welcome – I’m ready for her departure.  Snow caged weekends – cabin fever and the disbelief of February’s steady dissolve. I’m settled in – corner table – morning meeting off the list – [...]

from the moments of complete frustration – to the elation of hearing my brain on ‘tape’, “theminorfall” found her end today.  months after the projected deadline and several incarnations later, I put my frantic search for her perfection to rest.  I can’t remember feeling more proud – more naked – more complete.  I’ve often said [...]

The taste of sour-sweet is what you leave – triumph & the forever process of walking wounded. I began you with nothing more than the air left to my name – endless attempts at my design and countless plans for reinventing the wheel.  You looked more desperate than ever. I slept your winter – braved [...]

I go back to that statement more often than not at this stage in life.  Today, after several weeks of waiting (due to schedules and high service orders), heat was turned on in my house – more accurately, the gas.  You never realize, when coming out of warmer times, that the lack of this sometimes [...]

9/28/08 – something interrupted my focus and I forgot to post this :*-) 9/24/09 cloud cover and the hint of cool – in Dallas for a few days.  My gypsy ways will tame come Saturday.  Fall trips to LA & NY are up in the air and may be pushed until spring of ’10.  I [...]

A week of kind words and stellar reviews – LH has arrived.  The last twelve months have passed rather quickly – not much time spent enjoying the moment.  I’ve ran from one project to the next & now I find myself a bit worn. I move, at what feels like, half time – desperate to [...]
