Recordist. Mastering engineer. Noise maker: The Ether Family Presents..., The Aloha State, Inverted Jenny, The Big Ragoo, (all the) Sceneless Hipsters, etc. Run a label collective called Headphone Treats. Artistic pontificator. Coffee. Scotch.
This blog is about songwriting, the artistic side of making records, performance and trying to make a go in life as an artist. Probably some random life stuff and funny pop culture too.
I just bought a DV camera and a 32 GB memory card so that I could film tonight’s full-band C.Spaniels...

SONG OF THE DAY
‘member that time I sang those incredibly awkward Björk lyrics about having “a breast in each palm” & being “caressed in special places”? Yeeeaah…
I just bought a DV camera and a 32 GB memory card so that I could film tonight’s full-band C.Spaniels show in its entirety. The footage from our first two shows was filmed with my drummer’s camera, and I got tired of bugging him to bring it to shows. I still haven’t edited the footage…
All bands need to follow suit. DOCUMENT!
Hop on the hamster wheel everybody!
Today’s email from Klout said “Klout believes you are influential about Lobster”. Awesome. Last time it was “Okra”. Bring up a Lobster and Okra related dish and I will own you.
I’ve been amused as my score has dropped daily because I’m not posting as often to Twitter and Facebook recently. I’ve been busy, you know, actually making stuff. Their algorithm doesn’t like that. You may only talk about existing stuff or share mindless links. Creativity and productivity earns you demerits. Who cares, right? Well, apparently a lot of silly companies. Seriously, if an interviewer ever asked me what my Klout score was I would shame them to tears.

And that’s why the devil just can’t get around me.
Just backed Light Table on Kickstarter. An amazingly cool new IDE concept. If you work with JavaScript, Clojure or Python you should consider doing it too! (Ruby and other languages will follow)

I don’t even know where to begin with such a busy picture…

If any of you are interested in filmmaking geekery, I’ve tossed up this tumblr for posting techniques and examples I dig up about cameras, lighting, editing, etc. Will also share my own experiments and collaborations with friends there.
