Stolen gear update
If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook then you probably heard that I had my pedalboard and an amp stolen from my vehicle following my performance on WFMU's Seven Second Delay on August 22nd. I lost the majority of my effects pedals and it was completely devastating. After posting about the theft on my Twitter and Facebook pages, I received an outpouring of support from fans and friends who pitched in by buying my music on Bandcamp and sending paypal donations. NYC cellist Julia Kent donated her Boss DD-5 and DD-20 delay pedals to me. Oklahoma-based pedal company Walrus Audio sent me one of their Mayflower Overdrive pedals free of charge. Australian effects company cubisteffects is crafting a custom oscillating fuzz box for my replacement board. John from The Winston Psmith Project is donating his Boss PS-5. I had never met any of these folks before they reached out to me. Thanks to the generosity of many, I'm happy to say that I'm back on my feet and my replacement pedalboard is proving to be quite impressive. THANK YOU. (more...)

New version of “Bleached Beach” on digital benefit
Back in April, 2010, I spent a day at Oneida's famed Ocropolis studio recording a version of my song "Bleached Beach" with Shahin Motia behind the board. Two years later, I'm happy to see the release of the recording on this special digital compilation benefiting Japan. From the JagJaguwar web site: "It was an idea hatched during a Nov 7th birthday brunch for Kid Millions by Showtime. We would create a Stax-like studio band based around Oneida's now defunct Ocropolis studio. We would record and produce one song each from a list of our favorite local musicians — the sky was the limit. We both realized that we had about 2 years left in our amazing paradise of a recording studio and while we had done a lot. . .we still hadn't really taken full advantage of the studio. We hadn't made good on our mandate to become a resource for the community of musicians with whom we shared a home. Unlike many of the half-baked ideas which emerge from the Brah Records boardroom — this one had legs. (more...)
