As I mentioned before, I’m working on a little EP called Removers – Remixes and Covers of songs that influenced my writing and production on Headphones and Cellphones. One of the songs is now up at www.therecordmachine.net for free download..
There was also a nice write-up about it in the Pitch Weekly – check it out here!
Keep checking back for updates and more fun stuff..

I have 2 CD release parties lined up – one happening this Friday, October 23rd at Wonderfair Art Gallery in Lawrence, KS (located in the basement of the Casbah at 9th and Mass). It’ll be 6-9pm, FREE, all ages, and we’ll have some pretzels and drinks to sip on while we enjoy the new album together!
The next release party will be the following Friday, October 30 at SOHO Interiors in Topeka (located at Huntoon and Oakley). Also at this one, it’ll be 6-9pm, FREE, all ages, and we’ll have snacks and drinks to refresh ourselves!
Keep your eyes and ears peeled: I’ve been talking to Nathan at the Record Machine about putting out an EP of remixes and covers of songs that influenced my songwriting and production on Headphones and Cellphones. We’re thinking of calling it ‘Removers EP’. It’s still in production, but expect to see it soon – it’ll be coming out as free download(s) in the near future and I’m hoping it will include these songs as well as some others: A Dream Goes on Forever by Todd Rundgren, Made Concrete by the Republic Tigers, Do Right by Paul Davis, This Place is a Prison by the Postal Service..
I’ll keep you all updated!

Remixes.. I’d never done one before two weeks ago, but now you could probably say I’m addicted. In two weeks, I’ve done three:
The Wimp by Capybara
Gutter by Paper Route
And
Spritle by Deastro
Hopefully I’ll be releasing them online for you to hear soon.. I’ll be sure to let you know.
The new album will be out in a couple of weeks, too. I’m excited about that!!

Just about to send the new album off to be pressed – Dan finished up the artwork last night. It looks and sounds exactly how I wanted it to. Check out my ‘gig calendar’ to see details about the release party. Be there!!

So, I’m sitting next to Max Justus (and next to Nathan Reausche) mastering my new album, Headphones and Cellphones, trying to pick up some tips on how to master for future reference.. I really don’t understand it. Max is going on about hertz and digibytes and who-knows-what.. I guess I’m just glad that someone who knows what they’re doing is at the helm.. It’s sounding really great though. I told him I wanted a ‘pristine’ sound – like you’d hear on an R&B album.. The album should be out this Fall sometime – within the next few months – should be fun!
I’ve also had a few reviews of the Tokyo Sessions EP – I’m glad people like it! Listen to it here and tell your friends (it’s free!! – why not?)

That’s supposed to look like ‘free EP’.. I wrote and recorded some songs over in Tokyo a few months back when we went to visit my wife’s family. Thus the name of the 5-song EP, Tokyo Sessions. You can listen to it or download the whole thing free here:

Hope you like it!
In the next few days I’ll be releasing a new 5-song EP of songs I recorded in Japan a couple of months ago. It’ll be a free release through therecordmachine.net
Hope you like it!
