It’s Record Store Day!
20, Apr 2013My desert island disc list. I almost feel the same way about Record Store Day as I do about Valentine’s Day…why do we need a special day to do something we should do all year round? But I get it, it’s important to mark the institutions and we as a society certainly love calendar excuses [...]

The Office
18, Jul 2012One of the things I’ve been working on is setting up an office space. My awesome roomie Katie is the queen of decorating, and she encouraged me to co-opt the dining room for an office space so that I could in fact sleep in one room and work in another. It’s been awesome. The first [...]
My, How Marketing Has Changed
25, Jun 2012A friend of mine sent me a Marketing Plan from Sony Music from 1994 for MCC’s Stones In the Road album. It’s fascinating stuff. The most interesting thing is noting what is NOT there because it simply did not exist. 1994 isn’t THAT long ago (I say this because I can remember it, but it [...]

Oh hey, SXSW
3, Apr 2012This year I was hardly in town for SXSW, so I didn’t get to see much. The Sweater Set stopped by the Rubicon Studio one evening to play a few, a true example of SXSW coming to me…that was cool. Other than that, Susan shared a show with Terri Hendrix and Lloyd Maines in Beaumont, [...]
Mobile Office
8, Mar 2012This week we have been in Amarillo between the festival and some Panhandle gigs this weekend. I have parked at two Hastings for the last 3 days…I’ll go to one in the morning, take a break, and then go to another. The wifi is fast and the couches are cushy. Can’t complain at all. I’d [...]

Currently freaking out over March looming closer. I will be gone most of the month and I am trying to figure [...]

Input = Idea…and then what?
20, Jan 2012Idea 1: Meet Lady Gaga’s wax figure. Idea 2: Meet the real Lady Gaga (in progress) These numbers are not totally accurate but for the sake of metrics…I have had about 14 good ideas this week. I forgot four of them about 10 seconds after I had them. Goodbye…I hope you got caught by someone [...]
Currency
11, Jan 2012Interesting scenario this morning. Katie sends me a link to a Youtube video. It’s a cool version of a song I had never heard before (so technically it was a cover but since I didn’t know the original, eh)…being played by 5 people on 1 guitar. I see a TON of content every day, and [...]
