Tom Waits is a genius... geez You better smile when you say that. I mean that's like saying "Wow the moon is really far away" or "George Bush is a jerk".

I got your back Tom.

Charleston to Key West

(this file is like 191 megs so you're probably just better off downloading it and watching it later)

This is more footage of my trip to Charleston and then Key West compliments of American Apparel. We flew into Key West the day after Hurricane Katrina left and we had to watch the destruction of New Orleans from 500 miles away on TV. Scary stuff.

I do recommend, if you're staying in Key West, definately, definately, definately book your stay in what is known as "The Southernmost House" it's a gorgeous mansion that happens to be the southernmost house in all of the US. The staff are uber friendly and are no strangers to rum.

The Big Country

I recently had the pleasure of working with American Apparel as an interior graphics designer. This video has absolutely nothing to do with that... except that this is me flying back to Los Angeles after my last job for them.

This magic moment

A really stupid song... and short too. It's got like ten words and then repeats.Doc Pomus, the Drifters, Jay and the Americans, Ben E King, Lou Reed, and the Misfits!?!

Does not compute! Does not compute!

Calm down Angel band


click here to watch video

Covered by everyone AND their mother. Ralph Stanley's version is probably my fav version of this track, though it's been done by no less than Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, June Carter, Flatt and Scruggs, Emmy Lou Harris, the Jordanaires, the Monkees (?!), Bill Monroe, the Oak Ridge boys, Pete Seeger, Mike Seeger, Porter Wagoner, and if I had to guess, probably a lot more groups.

Here's mine... off the cuff, and off the chart.

My Air Supply is running low

Is there any band that got more mileage out of the word "Love" than Air Supply? I mean honestly. "All out of love" "Lost in Love" "Young Love" "Making Love out of nothing at all" "The One you Love". What the eff.


the following is a quote from Allmusic.com
"With their heavily orchestrated, sweet ballads, the Australian soft rock group Air Supply became a staple of early-'80s radio, scoring a string of seven straight Top Five singles. Air Supply, for most intents and purposes, was the duo of vocalists Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell; other members came through the group over the years, yet they only functioned as backing musicians and added little to the group's sound. Hitchcock and Russell met while performing in a Sydney, Australia, production of Jesus Christ Superstar in 1976.

For several years, the group gained no attention outside of Australia, earning one significant hit single, "Love and Other Bruises." Their first international exposure came in the late '70s, when Rod Stewart had them as his opening act on a North American tour. Air Supply signed a record contract with Arista in 1980, releasing their first album "Lost in Love" by the end of the year."

I'm sorry Mr. Jackson, but I am for real

So, this is my first attempt at completely destroying Jackson Browne's excellent Somebody's Baby. Mission accomplished, I think. If you are pregnant or have a heart condition, best to avoid this very graphic display.

New Years Eve!!

Much love and thanks to everyone for coming out to our Hollywood abode to watch Dick Clark's ball drop. Special thanks to whoever handed me that concoction of Miller Lite and tomato juice, which is probably why I don't have a bigger headache today.
