Home Owners Insurance 101: Wall-A-Thon

Hi, 

Tonight there’s a show at Mercury Lounge called Wall-A-Thon that is raising money for esteemed music engineer and all around good guy Steve Wall and his family. Their house got flooded during hurricane Irene.

Among other cool things, Steve recorded and mixed the Mother Feather EP that you may or may not have. He also recorded a few of the songs on the latest Casey Shea album. And he also recorded a few Rich Girls songs that I still have to, errr, finish so that he can mix them. So, Steve has a special place in my heart. 

You should join me at the show tonight, or send your best wishes. 

Tonight. Saturday December 17th. Mercury Lounge. Jeff Taylor. CHAPPO. Monogold. Lucius. 8ish pm. 

Mwah!

Archiving 101: Wreck Hoard Ing

Hi,

A warm and fuzzy happy Birthday to Mr. Jamie Alegre, pictured below laying down some sweet cabasa at The Nunnery for the forthcoming Andy Fitzpatrick release!

Andy and I are heading up to Waterfront Studios in Hudson on Monday to mix about 300 songs in 72 hours. Or Something. Over the last couple days we added various percussion, some Moogish sounding Wurlitzer with my amazing MLM and equally amazing 1957(ish) Magnatone pictured below, and even had Andy recut a lead vocal. What? Yeah. You heard me right. I’m pretty sure the world is coming to an end too.

And speaking of how I’ve had the first 6 songs of Foo Fighters “In You Honor” on repeat for the last hour, with any luck the forthcoming Casey Shea LIVE ALBUM will have as much crowd noise.  And btw, if you haven’t seen the new  Casey Shea video, you can click this part of this sentence and just be positively amazed. 

Hopefully the above paragraph contains some form of copyright infringement. 

And speaking of having the new timeline, tonight I’ll grace the stage with one Wes Hutchinson at Rockwood Muzak Hall where we’ll be recording the show for something called a LIVE ALBUM. Coincidence? You decide. Anyway, we go on at 8pm. 

Mwah!

P.P.P.P.S. Before it sells out. 


Fundraising 101: Mother Feather. Friday Feb 10th. Mercury Lounge. 11pm.

Hi, 

Even though I never received the 8x10 signed photo of Tony Hawk that incentivized my donation to the Tony Hawk Foundation I am still pretty pumped to know that my $20.00 helped build a brand spanking new skate park! So, if you or someone you love loves the art of skateboarding and lives within 40 or so miles of Long Beach, CA I totally suggest you go there and think of me and all the money my physical therapist makes off of my insurance provider while you’re shredding. 

And speaking of people who will totally forget about you and your pathetic little life after you’ve so generously donated to their cause, don’t forget that today is the last day to get advance tickets for a certain rock and roll show featuring something called “Mother Feather.” And in case you haven’t been paying attention, said rock and roll show featuring something called “Mother Feather” is being put on in order to raise something called “money” in order to do something called “record more music.” So, while you’re at the show you be able to purchase T-Shirts of women kissing and other things like “the last batch of music we recorded” and then go home feeling all warm and fuzzy that you supported your local community of artistsdklfhjgaslkhgpbnsv;df/klgad’;g entobjdf’glv ;afjsd;fhjsoi;dbnvs’jdsfkdjfbamc .zmxns.jdnvsdfvksjndamcfndsjfsdkv.sdmfnas/dkfnakds. Baarf.

See you tomorrow. 

Mwah!
