A bedroom demo taste of the great things to come

Recorded this direct line-in to my macbook (which gives it a raunchier, lower-fi sound) as a demo process for what is to come this summer. I hope to do a LOT this summer, and aside from Stop Don’t Stop, Dunvint, and other projects, I hope to get a full length out of my own songs. [...]

a nod on hold

Here’s a home recording of the song I did live for the JustinKenya Benefit concert. Perhaps more to come? Get into 3 part harmonies around the 2 minute mark!

Stop Don’t Stop @ Frankie’s

I have updated my Flickr page with images from the Stop Don’t Stop show at Frankie’s in Toledo. We played with AM Error (their final show), GoLab, and Enon. Very fun show! We were almost too late to the show because Corey had a bad spill while skating in Maumee. Apparently he was attempting a [...]

Coming soon to the mp3 store…

The Press Gang EP - $3.99 The Toledo Free Press says – “Call The Press Gang piano punk, call ‘em a car wreck between indie rock and metal, just don’t call ‘em the Modern Soviet Enemies — though The Press Gang rose from the ashes of that band, this is a new chapter. Art-damaged guitar clashes [...]

coming to a ds near you

This game will definitely end up in my Nintendo DS this summer. Even if on the gameplay side it doesn’t have as much depth as the later games in the series, it holds a greater nostalgic value for me (and perhaps Justin too?). Jon Herald will have to buy it (once again?) to redeem the [...]

Final show for The Tapes

Last night was the final show for The Tapes. What a sendoff. They played just about everything from their new album, Out of the Great Black Swamp. You can pick that 11 song beauty up at the Pseudobook Music Store. I had the good fortune of playing banjo on A Silver Song. What classy guys. [...]

dunvint

This past weekend my friend Benji Robinson visited and we spent some time recording a number of drum tracks for Dunvint. There is no web home for Dunvint yet, so I keep pointing links to the entry on the Pseudobook Music Blog which can be found here. That’s our demo song of our (not avant [...]

mastering

Lately, I look at tasks, skills, and other projects in my life and think about completely obliterating them. I look at a piano and I want to be fluent, smooth, controlled, etc. with it. I see an old 8-bit Ninja Gaiden game and I want to master it, be able to beat it without dying. [...]

Forthcoming

I’ve been working on my new website here. As soon as possible I hope to be able set this up as a slick little place to hear what’s new with me, see when I am playing live, and offer the ability to purchase my music for a very good price (as no-DRM, 320kbps mp3 files). [...]
