  • the lost art of the mix cd

    coming back from a long road trip — for which i threw together several mp3 cds for the car in under a half hour — got me thinking about something i will call “the lost art of the mix cd.” i use the term “cd” fairly loosely because, before the mix cd, there was the…

  • who is that masked “merton”?

    okay, let’s put an and to this ridiculous debate. there is a feud raging across the internet about whether the original “funny chatroulette piano” video is ben folds.  i’ve taken some heat on digg for suggesting that, um, yeah, it is.  so, let’s — just for the sake of argument — pretend that we don’t…

  • you’ll have to wait for the book [rpm2010]

    it occurs to me that rpm came and went with very little said on this blog about it. i finished my rpm 2010 album.  it’s called you’ll have to wait for the book.  you can listen to it here, on bandcamp, or on alonetone, where my track 1 is currently in the top 40.  there’s…

  • gwozdziec: pounding the last nail in

    i’ve decided to call the gwozdziec album done.  it’s been almost a year since i first started the project, and it hasn’t moved an inch for several months.  my goal was to produce 10-12 tracks for the album, but rather than trying to drag out a project i sort of lost interest in, i’m quitting…

  • RPM 2010

    i’ve signed up to do rpm 2010.  probably i’m insane with how busy we’ve been lately and i don’t know when i’m going to have free time to crank out some tunes and i never even finished the gwozdziec project i started after rpm last year (although that was more to do with my own…
