    I’m really sorry I bailed out of the Auction House gig at the last minute.? I got tied up at work and wasn’t able to make it out.? I will be playing at their next theme night on April 17th and the theme is TV theme songs.

    I’ll be playing as part of the singer-songwriter kickoff to the Studio Luloo benefit show on April 5th!? It’s in support of the space itself to try and keep the doors open.? Also there will be a ridiculous number of performers including Johnny Miles, yearlongday, Brian Mullins, John Shaughnessy, Rob Whitekettle, Sara O’Brien, Steve Goldstein,…

    I recorded 99% and All My Dreams are in Cartoon today and got halfway decent mixes of them finished.? I think they need a little more work, but so far they’re pretty good.? I’ll probably post a rough mix tomorrow if I can get all the volume levels set properly to match with the other…

    I rerecorded a new version of the Genius of it All. After years and years of looking for the right drum beat, I finally gave up and decided to change the rhythm instead and see what happens. Let me know what you think? The Genius of it All (new version) old version for comparison One…

    Well, with no lineup announced I’m not that surprised that it has been delayed. Vineland, originally scheduled for August 8-10 in Vineland, N.J., has been moved to early summer 2009. Producers C3 Presents and Festival Republic made the change in response to the heavy festival traffic in the Northeast and major bands’ tours of the…

    I was extremely disappointed to see this in my inbox today. mars-red is a great store and Scott put a lot of effort into it. The two gigs I played there were a lot of fun and it’s a shame to see they couldn’t make it work. Also, I have a $25 gift card I…

    It took me a few months, but I finally made it out to the new open mic that is literally about 2 blocks from my house.? Audubon’s Auction House on Merchant Street now has a weekly open mic night on Wednesdays hosted by Russ.? There were about 50 people there! I ended up going on…

    Has anyone heard about this?? They seem to be keeping the list of bands a secret, but if it’s any good I might go.? Interestingly enough I’ve had to go to Vineland twice for work this week to the Progresso plant down there.

    The decade really is almost over now! I turn 30 this year, so that should be fun. I didn’t buy a ton of new CDs this year, but my favorite album of 2007 was definitely Boxer by The National.

    Last night I stopped by Studio LuLoo’s open mic again and had a nice time. Mark Rice was the featured artist and he had a nice mellow sound. So mellow a guy near me passed out on the couch. Hah. A guy named Pat rocked a version of Mayonnaise by Smashing Pumpkins and I think…

    I heard about a new music venue opening up in the Auction House on Merchant St in Audubon tonight, so I decided to check it out. They had a nice wine, coffee, cheese, and fruit spread out for people and a fun night of music. I must have missed John Shaughnessy’s set by a few…

    A friend offered Interpol tickets to Jeanne and I a few days ago. I’ve never seen them live and I’ve heard good things, so we decided to go. The Liars opened up and everyone around us hated them. I thought each of their songs tried to emulate a different band. I had fun guessing whether…
