When we first heard "The Finest Thing", we thought, whoa, here's a neo-shoegaze band that sounds un-neo-shoegaze, like they sound like actual good shoegaze, like good classic shoegaze. And then we did a little research....and turns out Grabbel and the Final cut are a German(!) band from the early 90's, "The Finest Thing" was recorded in 1991, and the release of the song is part of a reissue series of classic shoegaze 7-inches by Captured Tracks.

Ever since I started working in startup land, I've felt the need to ingratiate myself in the ever-buzzing world of *tech*. This means staying up on other companies, the blogs, and the general Silicon Valley scene. This can be very repetitive. People get funded, apps get released, and companies buy things. Sometimes a conference happens. Having spent the better part of the last few years neck-deep in this hullabaloo, I figured it was time to parody it. As I've written before, I currently am working on Nosh . Download it now please, it will give you some [...]

Monkey in a cage The new EP is coming along nicely! My producer Janne Manninen has just started mixing the songs and I'm happy to give you not one, but TWO previews of the new songs. Here's also some crazy pics from our studio! Jonestown: Each producer got to choose one of my old songs to make a re-make of. Janne chose 'Jonestown' from my third album and made it into an electronica version. We've also changed the lyrics on the chorus to my original lyrics that didn't make the [...]

Sherry and I were back in Chicago last weekend for her yearly America's Beauty Show conference at McCormick Place. My goal was to spend some time working on some writing and possibly do some record shopping. We were also planning to see The Right Now open for L.A. R&B band Orgone at Schuba's . Because I was concentrating on some writing, I primarily stayed holed up in our hotel room in Oak Park, but I ventured out on Sunday morning after dropping Sherry off at the show. I had been meaning to hit [...]

il trucco è nel saper aspettare. e il trucco per saper aspettare è sapere quello che si sta aspettando. e se dico sapere intendo non avere il minimo dubbio. che se hai anche solo il minimo dubbio allora meglio se cambi mestiere : non puoi esser uno bravo ad aspettare. un po' come la storia di Pietro , di Gesù e del gallo che cantava. solo un po' più bella. che qui, grazie a dio , mica canta il gallo.
