These Fine Artists

could use some help. the band, arms and sleepers, is trying to raise some money to tour and fund new releases, and turning to their fans for some financial assistance.
let me tell you about arms and sleepers, if you don’t know them. they are, for the most part, local …

New Designs for Your Consumption

Looking For A Reason

I’m working on a new song. Its called, as the title of this blog entry would suggest, “looking for a reason.” there’s something i struggle with almost constantly with sky flying by. its the absolute and total, all encompassing feeling of illegitimacy. i don’t …

Answering Questions

i thought i’d take some time, seeing as though i hadn’t posted anything in a month of sundays, to answer some questions. no, its not like i get deluged with questions from an adoring public, its more like an infrequent trickle of curious people asking questions …

Reimagined: Sighting Through Stars

so i really liked playing this song and recording it originally. its really a fun song to play no matter what instrument because it just kinda meanders around, as it fades from one part to the next and closes with this really loud mournful guitar thing… but when i …

Caspian Record Release Show, 29 August 2009

its rare to go to a show and be enthralled so completely that it ends before you are ready to leave. i mean, lets face it, you go to watch bands play, and you are typically there to see one or maybe two of them play, and even then its 40 minutes of cool and then you …

Sad Day, So Long Les Paul

so the inventor of electric guitars and multitrack recording has passed away. yes, this is a very sad day indeed. without paul’s contributions to music and music technology, its pretty fair to say that non of what has been created in the last 50 or so years wouldn’t …

Moving Right Along

(i wanted to find a video clip of the song from the muppet movie, but the only clips i could find were of people video taping their televisions, which just is really stupid)
anyway, the record is coming right along. i know its been a very long time since i dropped an …

i finished, and submitted my final project for this semester, early this morning (around 2:30 a.m.) — for those keeping score at home, i’m going to graduate school (Harvard in nearby Cambridge MA). I’m studying computer science, with a concentration in digital …

Funny How The Past Works

was looking for an old record online, and came across this blog. i found it interesting in as much as the content was quite familiar, as it chronicled a lot of the late 1980’s and early 1990’s hardcore scene, especially that of Syracuse, NY. recognizing a lot of the …

Not Dead Yet

so i’ve been battling a really nasty chest infection (no, not swine flu, oh for crying out loud, its as if the government didn’t have enough to worry about than to artificially create drama where non was needed) and i’ve been buried in grad school work. only have …

An Accurate Review

just noticed this review. its not a “good” review, but its an accurate review, i believe.
the more i think about it the more i believe that “how much worse…” was a mistake. this review just confirmed for me what i had in the back of my head all along. this …

Just When I Thought

i could get back to doing some serious writing for the next record, another piece of technology seems to have bit the dust. my dual g5. i noticed a weird “hot computer smell” when i was tracking some guitars. i became concerned and before i could do anything about …

New Song: Drifting Further Home

i am starting the next record project. part of that effort is to design a new site. because frankly, this plain old blog format isn’t doing it for me. anyway, one of the things i want in the new site is an “intro” song, and i also want an “intro” for the next …

Now A Twit

i’ve been a long time user of twitter, but it was suggested i create a separate account for sfb, which i like. my other account is used for my friends.

Going To Design A New Site

i think i’m going to design a new web site. i may even include it as part of my final project for school (i am working on a masters in computer science from harvard, with a concentration in digital media art)
this site is boring, just a blog. i’ll still keep the …
