Cracker Flashback

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

This song got stuck in my head a while ago and I couldn’t remember who it was. It drove me nuts then I remembered, Cracker. Song still holds up. Video really takes me back, Sandra Bernhardt…wow. I think I’m going to grow a ponytail and buy a pick up truck, again.

Here is a party that my long time friend Ben White, ex-Go Go Go Airheart, has in Los Angeles. It’s pretty rockin’ I’m told. Above is a video of some pretty awesome bands playing a pretty awesome party.

Here is some music from one of my mentors in music, Mike Vermillion. I met this guy a long time ago in San Diego growing up when I had Billy Corgan hair, circa Gish, and he turned me on to all kinds of stuff like Gang of Four and PIL Metal Box and more obscure stuff like that. Also Happy Mondays and tons of other good bands that eventually influenced the crud out of me.

The Why Because

Here is some music from one of my best friends and original collaborators. We grew up in San Diego together and played a lot of Dungens and Dragons. Here is some of his music, it’s pretty nice stuff in my opinion. Their latest release is on tape only which suits his music quite well.

James and Being Good Enough

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Yo Friends,

Looking at the LCD Soundsystem website and getting excited to hear our long time buddy James’ new record and thinking about being “good enough,” and following your own path. A while back I got lost and didn’t think that just being me was good enough, looking at what James has done just being himself has brought me a lot of peace. God Bless you dude. Can’t wait to hear your new music.
