Dublin!

Just found out I'm playing a five night stand at the Fringe Festival in Dublin, Ireland this September. My CD release tour will begin with London, Totness, then five nights in Dublin, then Amsterdam. I am so stoked!

Hollywood Blog / Day .... Sky God

Right now in the studio we're working on Sky God. This is a new song I wrote after I saw that movie with Mandy Moore in it where she plays a Christian fundamentalist girl. I was inspired to write a song from the perspective of her character. So, I wrote Sky God, mostly sincere, actually. Just envying (loosely) the simplicity of a mythic belief system that has all the answers pre-fab.

Hollywood Blogs / Day Six

I think it's Father's Day today. Isn't it? Sunday June 17th? I am a father. I have a father.

Hollywood Blogs / Day Five

Eddie Kowalczyk (Buddha front man of Live) came in last night. We had Miracle all ready, and sure enough, Eddie arrived and in about an hour knocked it OUT of the astronomical park. Can't say how much it has meant to me to be working with him. His giving, gracious nature (and it goes without saying charisma + talent!) has absolutely blown me away. He's done this twice now. A year ago, we tried to put this song on my album ¿What. We just couldn't hear it. Sitting next to the songs in that collection, it didn't make sense to us.

Hollywood Blogs / Day Four

The problem is I only brought one shirt to Hollywood. Literally. I stepped onto a plane with one shirt. the one I was wearing. I've been wearing the same shirt for the last three days. today I sent my assistant Leslie to buy me some t-shirts. i'm still getting the hang of having an assistant. i had to come up with tasks for her to do, and made some mis-steps. first i had her work on a rubic's cube. but we were both like "how is this helping my career?". then i had her write apologies to my wife (for future use), but she was like "how do we even know what you'll have done wrong?".
