The Priests album came out in 2009, god I love this shit.

As you can see from above, it was a beautiful family wedding here in England , that's my brother Ross that I am standing next to, he got lucky enough to marry Dionne , he truly got the better part of that deal. It's really weird to be here, it's not like touring, I have a lot more time to reflect upon the past growing up here, seeing old friends and generally laying some [...]

Did I mention I'm the oldest of 4 boys in my family? Of course I didn't know that until a couple of years ago, but it's true. My brother Ross is getting married in England next weekend and my Dad bought us tickets about a year ago and told us we were coming, so I guess we are going. I always have mixed feelings about heading back to England, not the greatest [...]

The wife and I went to a backyard birthday party today and it seems like all our friends are having kids. My wife got that twinkle in her eye, so to deter her I started sending her ad's like this one. Anyway, I will update the blog Tuesday with what's been happening recently right before we take off for a family wedding in England on Wednesday.

I returned from Alabama this morning to the following posted at the Twilight Singers site. My heart is heavy for all who loved Amy. Every so often you meet a person so unique and talented, that you are reminded of how precious and fragile life as a creative soul can be.Last year, I was asked to cover a Doug Sahm song for the Keep [...]

My good friend Matt Diehl emailed me this morning to let me know the benefit last weekend made it to Rolling Stone , simply amazing. The amount of press my condition is getting is hopefully shedding some light on the current state of healthcare and the lack thereof for the millions of people like myself who work their ass of and can't afford to stay healthy in one of the richest countries on earth. [...]

To all of you that came out tonight to help, I love you. To all the musicians that performed free to help a fellow artist, I cannot thank you enough. I wanted to say a few words on stage, but I knew I was going to cry, so I had to pass. I played Bodies with Paul Cook tonight, my life might be complete. I wish I could say more right now, but I am letting it all sink in. [...]

Looks like the benefit this weekend made the front page of Billboard.com ! Seriously, I'm a little stunned. I am also stunned about this in case you missed it. Warning!!! NSFW!!!

Twilight Singers and Gutter Twins guitarist Dave Rosser will be joining Steve O and I for this week's live radio show on Friday . If you have questions for either of them please email me at fordradio@gmail.com . Now here's Dave being drunk....

It's been a while. Having extensive jaw surgery will definitely hamper your radio show activities, as in there's no way to talk, and that kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it. I figure by next week I should be ok to do a show, and I'm really looking forward to it. Set your alarms for Friday, September 25th at 1pm pacific time and tune in. It's the day before my benefit show [...]

Personally I think the Twilight Singers should be huge, of course I may be a little biased but when acts like Miley Cyrus are dominating the airwaves it makes me a little sad deep down in my black little heart. In that vein why the fuck isn't Matthew Ryan dominating the airwaves? Seriously this guy has more talent in his [...]

Well, in order of my upcoming medical benefit , I thought I'd post some songs by some of the performers, just in case you've been under a rock for the last few decades or so. Enjoy! Duff McKagan's Loaded - Sick [...]

You know, I'm not really sure why this should even be a debate, why would anyone be opposed to healthcare for all? Growing up in England, if you got sick you went to the hospital, they took care of you and that was that. No extortionate bill, no threatening letters from collection companies, nothing but the satisfaction of [...]

My friends are getting together to help me try and pay for these medical operations, I cannot thank them enough. So on September 26th at The Roxy in Los Angeles they are putting on a benefit for me. All money goes towards paying medical bills, and here's some of the artists: Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses) [...]

Is there a nicer guy than Dave Catching ? I'm sure I'm going to ruin his 'bad-boy' image, but not only does Dave have one of the best studios deep out here in Joshua Tree , but he's spoiling is with home-cooked meals and killer road stories. The studio, Rancho De La Luna , is probably most famous for the Desert Sessions , but you'd be surprised at the amount of other bands that [...]

So it's been about 2 1/2 weeks since my initial sugary, and I had a follow-up surgery today. The good news is that everything seems to be healing nicely and my doctor's couldn't be nicer or more caring. There's no bad news, sweet. Now, make sure that you put the following date in your books, September 26th at the Roxy in Los Angeles . That's the date of the benefit [...]

Thanks to Baddao for turning me onto the new Black Crowes single, which I am providing here as they have it online for free so I don't think I'm breaking any rules. I wasn't sure what to make of it, but after [...]
