“Coffeehouse Girl”
You know, after I thought about that last post, I realized Chris Mitra is kind of to blame for all this. I asked him several years ago if he wanted to form a cover band and he politely declined, saying … Continue reading

The Ballad of Songwriting
Well, it’s Sunday and I’m amazed that I spent at least a little time with most of the things on my vacation to-do list. Mass Effect, TV shows, books, Peggle, Palette-Swap Ninja, WoW, drums…a few 360 games got the shaft, … Continue reading

New Palette-Swap Ninja song
It’s ready. It’s about Halo. It’s got kazoos. Download it. (And of course, there are more silly songs too.) Now that that’s done, I think I will go enjoy my vacation. Amusingly, that still involves playing guitar.

Ninja activity
I have spent the majority of my time during this break working on two Palette-Swap Ninja songs. One will be released this week, and I’m laying down final vocals for it today. It’s a lot more complicated than I thought … Continue reading

The Karaoke Saga
Sorry, this one’s more about computer stuff than actual singing. If you just want the answer to “how do I burn MP3+G files to a CD+G disc that I can use at a karaoke bar?” you should skip to the … Continue reading

At midnight, all the agents…
So Watchmen opens tonight at midnight. I’m not sure when I’ll get to see it this weekend, as the film’s opening unfortunately coincides with shipping the magazine. Early reviews are split between “perfect” and “dreadful.” Seems the folks who don’t … Continue reading

An open letter to BNL
Dear Ed, Tyler, Kevin, and Jim: Hey, I’m really sorry to hear about Steve leaving the band. I have been a fan since Gordon and I actually interviewed two of you on the press tour of Maybe You Should Drive, … Continue reading

Gibson Grabber II…fail
Remember the Gibson Grabber bass? No? Chances are if you do, it’s because it showed up in one of the Guitar Hero games as an unlockable bass. Design-wise, it’s pretty clearly a response to the Music Man Stingray (visually) and … Continue reading
