A new redemption song

I’ve been becoming a crotchety old man. I never meant too, it just kind of happened, the same way people put on weight or get into debt. I used to be the friendliest guy I knew, but lately I’ve been…

What I would do if I earned $1,000,000 in the music industry…

Hey, c’mon. A brother has to dream! As the music industry has gone into massive decline over the last decade or so, there have been many naysayers running around saying that music is dead, and that there will be no…

5 guitar pedals I see the most…

I have been involved in the music industry for over 20 years now, and I have seen a lot of changes and trends. However, one thing that never changes is that every year tons of new people decide to tackle…

I’m a radiohead…

I put the cassette tape into the tape deck and pushed play.

I have the coolest microphone… ever!

On the surface, there is nothing special about my mic. It’s just your typical dented up SM58, and industry standard vocal mic, loved by many, loathed by some. In fact, now that I’m thinking about it, there is nothing to…

A celebration…

SO… it’s been almost two months since my last blog entry. I can sincerely say, I have missed this. I have been very busy. Sometimes. And other times – depressed. Sorry. Depression sucks. It makes you fat too, if you’re…

Becoming an adult involves brain damage…

The door was open, but I did not go through it.

The other day I was on the phone with my friend Lwan from Pure Star Movement and recalled this story. Then I realized I should tell it to you.

The taste of failure.

I am not going to lie.

Failure sucks.

We all know this instinctively, but it’s different when it really happens to you.

I have screwed up a lot of things in my life. There are a lot of things that…
