My First Blog

Welcome to my blog. This is something I never thought I would do, but its time to catch up with the future age. This page is here to keep you updated on my music, art, stories, and things that inspire me. Bare with me as this will take some getting used to for me.

So this is where I start.
I am unemployed reaching my final week of getting state unemployment. I have no job prospects whatsoever. Each job I apply for I am met with a line out the door of other people applying; some friends and some strangers. I never thought I would live somewhere that you have to fight for a minimum wage job. I've thought about calling it quits with music and art and moving on and just trying to lead a normal life. But all of you who know me know that that could never happen. Music and art is who I am and even if I tried I could never turn my back on that.

I am making the best music of my life and I am still not satisfied. I am way to critical of everything I do. Your psyche is a continuum of parallels and I am my own worst enemy.

The album is getting very close to being finished. I am working on finishing vocals and drum parts and then getting some other musicians in to polish it up. What I plan to do with the record I am not exactly sure. I have about 9 tracks so far for the album which will be called
"The Sun is a Microscope" The track listing thus far is this:

Worlds Tiniest Rainbow
Logical Collapse
Seconds Moving Faster
Horses on a Train
Ratasplat
These Hours
King of the Mountain
Remember to Breathe
Hope

I will be looking for artist to collaborate with for CD design, shirts, and stickers. So if you are interested send me an email.

I have plans of releasing my last album "Notes on Paper" on Gypsypop records based out of Oakland, California. Gypsypop www.gypsypoprecords.com is ran by a friend Cohen who put out the Y la Bamba record "Alida St." recorded by Luz Elena Mendoza. For those of you who don't know, I play guitar for Y La Bamba and we are currently recording a full length album this Feb. The album is being produced by Chris Funk of the Decemberists.

Ok I believe this is all for my first blog. I don't want to overwhelm anyone. I will leave you with this.
