Well, the proof CD is, at least. Most of it sounds pretty good, but since I have to fix a handful of typos on the back cover anyway, I’m taking the opportunity to tweak things one more time before ordering the initial stock.

This weekend involved lots of different adventures; starting with hauling us and our friends Ted and Jennyfer out to SBC to catch the oldest playing Titania, Queen of the Fairies in the campus production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which was pretty great, actually. Spending the evening with our friends was fun, and we did […]

Spent most of the week waiting for people to wrap stuff up at the very last minute, which is how my organization rolls. It’s kinda frustrating. This contributed to a mostly consistent week-long funk, though a little self-medication helped a bit, at least on my regular Thursday night at the grocery store bar with my […]

So, the album’s not quite ready yet (give it a few weeks), but in the meantime, I put up an alternate version of one of the tunes for your listening “pleasure.” Actually, it is a pleasure, since I’m not singing on this one (didn’t suit my voice), but my kid Pat Benetar’d the hell out […]

After working very hard all day Saturday and a good big of Sunday morning, I finalized fifteen audio tracks, corrected some issues with the cover art and uploaded my final files to the duplication service. I should have a review/testing copy of World’s Okayest… in hand by the end of the week. I don’t think […]

Hasn’t been a terrible week, all told. I got some nice hiking in, had a pretty good open mic this month, made some new friends in my usual Thursday trip to have a drink at the grocery store bar, listened to the “new” Replacements record that just came out, and got some really good advice […]

Although she’s kind of taken a bit of a hit in the polls recently, Senator Harris has always been one of my top candidates; she seems to just have the right kind of no-nonsense attitude that I think would serve the office well. She’s also damn good at taking the piss out of all kinds […]

warning: musician living in his head content on deck: In the midst of all the other stuff going on (college kid home, dance dad duty, new Letterkenny…), I think I have almost all the recording done for the album, and most of the mixing, after getting the eldest to knock out some vocals, taking a […]

As it is every week, it’s been a week. I’ve actually gotten a ton done at work, and I’ve speedwalked/hiked the equivalent of three 5k races, but I’ve gotten next to nothing done on the record. Mixed bag, that. Hoping to change that this weekend, however; I’m taking the recording rig on the road at […]

Yes, I missed the usual Friday post this past week, but, really, I don’t owe you anything, do it? Last week was pretty typical, all told. I spent a tremendous amount of time putting out other people’s fires at work, and I went out to see the second-to-last Kickers match of the season with my […]
