Oh, the street where I live is very exciting indeed. There are bums, da mayor, school kids, super models, spanish people, dogs, rats, garbage cans, NYU trust fund kiddies, bars, bears, bohemians….
American Brains
August 7, 2007You know that feeling…like when you have to write and record a song in 48 hours?

August 5, 2007I felt handcuffed on this one due to the self-imposed time restraints. I think I had a lot of good ideas that didn’t get connected and I had to make a lot of abrupt edits just to get it out the door to ya’ll by midnight.
but hey
Ours is not to reason why – ours is to do and die.
Charity
August 3, 2007In the park near where I live there is a water fountain underneath a Doric columned marble structure. It has the words – hope, faith and charity printed on three of the four sides. It has a statue on top. For todays jam I used the word charity which I spotted on the structure as I sipped my coffee yesterday morning.
What does that word ‘charity’ mean anymore besides a tax break for the rich? Or a tithe on the religious…?
This song is a beckoning for the spirit behind the word charity to come fill me with it’s grace.
Song of the Day – “Park”
July 18, 2007A true ’song of the day’ this one was conceived and produced soup to nuts in 24 hours.
I loathe love songs and don’t write them. My ex-girlfriend still talks about how I never wrote one for her in all our relationship but rather wrote songs of animosity, loneliness, and isolation like ‘Broken Girl’ on ‘Famous’ my first album.
But this is a love song and this is for Gina!
Magic Man
July 17, 2007A cover of the classic ‘Iron Man’ by Black Sabbath butchered by yours truly. Instead of “I am Iron Man” in the beginning I say “I am Magic Man” in honor of my friend magician Marco Frezza’s new blog (marcomagic.wordpress.com)

July 5, 2007Part Queensryche, part Tenacious D, part Dr. Demento, part me, and ALL Amanda my High School friend who I ran into on the L train the other day and who came up with the concept when I asked for a song suggestion. I tried to make it like an email after a date where you end up telling the girl that she had something in her teeth. I still don’t think this is very funny…
