Best of 2011

One of the cooler things to happen in Albany in a while. Here is one of my favorites.

Been working with Mike Hotter on some new songs. Raw results available here.

I’ve said it before and I say it again. It is smart to fear Swamp Baby.

He was a zero. And this led to a level of concern. No one had seen this code before. The proper experts had been notified. Those of us who had seen it, or parts of it, were told this was classified. No one talks. Zeroes got paid far to much for this not to be a serious threat. But there it was on the cameras.

“I’ve given up trying to understand other people”

What was this? A zero offering to come in? Was he giving up? Was this a reference to recent events?

This guy should be a household name. Certified badass.

As if you didn’t know, writing great songs is not the key to happiness. Shame that it ain’t enough.

Big Daddy Hotter stopped by yesterday and laid down four new demos for our fantasy project. Favorite line of the new work “I am your neighbor, falling out of favor” Sort of like an alt rock Andre 3000 “give me some sugar, I am your neighbor”

You most likely have already bought or stolen a copy of Mike Hotter’s Misericordia. No? Well, get on over an order yourself one. Only 100 copies. I’ve now been credited with helping people on six or seven albums. I hope to continue this trend. And some day compile the credits. Because I think every time I get credit on an album it is something a bit different from normal credits. On this I get “Mixing help”. Sounds a bit more professional than “drunken chorus” or “the guy who moved things”. Progress.

Get some.
