More kind words and a free download!

Something tells me this guy from The Finest Kiss likes me.

I like him, too.


Also, if you head over to The Color Awesome, you can download my demo for "Jet Inside You" which me and the band performed at the Chop Suey show. I hate it when bands play shit that you can't get for yourself, so I decided to offer up the demo now so I won't feel guilty about playing it live more often.

Just wanted to clear up two small miscommunications on my part.

1) The porno album has not been scrapped. I'm still writing songs around the theme, but it might not really be a "concept album" about pornography as much as an album about sex. Would that be disappointing?

2) I noticed a blog post that mentioned that I produced the Shabazz Palaces albums. Not really the case. My hands and sounds are all over those records, but I couldn't dare claim I "produced" them.

That's all for now. I'll do my best to come up with some more stuff to talk about this week.

Porno Music

Right after “The Way We Live” was mastered, I started writing new songs for another album. I was, for some reason, inspired to write about some of my favorite figures in 70’s pornography and for a while considered making the album entirely about porno. This proved to be more difficult than I had expected, but in the spirit of a challenge, I did a lot of research.


In my viewings of good, bad, straight, gay, boring, and nasty porno from it’s “Golden Age”, I found a little film called “Gladys’ All Girl Rock Group” on a compilation of no budget Super 8 flicks all involving rock music called Rock-O-Rama. The content was nostalgic at best, but not really inspiring by any sense of the word, but there amid the silly dialogue and forced eroticism was this brilliant piece of music.

Amazing! I haven’t been able to find out who this is, but I keep searching. Anyone have any ideas? I can’t get over how much it sounds like a 70’s Boards of Canada.
