The Living End Is Near!!!!! May 10th, 2008 Off to Hot-Lanta! That's where the boys in The Living End are off to. We are just about finished recording and they leave tomorrow to have the album mixed by the legendary Brendan O'Brien. That's super exciting. This is the first timein a long time that I haven't mixed a record I've started, but sometimes you gotta have the big rock master make the record slam. I'm really looking forward to seeing what magic he does with it. The album has been great to work on to this point and love each of the dudes in the band! My favorite Aussies, by far!!!!!! ANyway, look for this record in the end of the summer. You'll be happy I told you about it. Off to Hot-Lanta! That's where the boys in The Living End are off to.

The Living End Are Kickin It! April 27th, 2008 Rockin with The Living End So we are in the middle of their new record and it's pretty great. We are now doing extra guitars and vocal and I'm loving the record so far. The guys are great and really fun to work with and Andy and Scott have been making great dinners with me and Chris have been laying down hot tracks. In fact, Scott prepared a You Tube piece showing how well we are doing. Here' s the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8ldP02uXEM By way, sorry for the late entry on this record, but my laptop took a big old dump 10 days ago and it took the great people at Apple a week to fix it. So I spent that time trollin' for band computers. Anyway, I'm back online and I will post some pictures when I get some. Be good!

G'Day! April 7th, 2008 Here Come The Living End! All the way from Melbourne, the rock capitol of Australia, please welcome The Living End. These guys are a great band! We are just starting rehearsals. We have 15 great songs and we are fine tuning them. It's been a pleasure so far and the boys are really wonderful. It always makes it easier working with great and talented people. I'm chuffed! More to come. We start tracking on Saturday!

My Great Week Off! April 1st, 2008 Where's my root canal? So here's the deal, I finished up The Hold Steady record and the Jennifer O'Connor record last week. Pretty much mastered and ready to go. I was looking forward to a great week off. And then, Monday morning, I got up to do some errands and whammo!!!!! I pulled a muscle in my back. So painful. I couldn't get out of bed on Monday. It was impossible to even sleep. Went to the doctor on Tuesday. X rays at Lennox Hill hospital. Meanwhile I'm thinking I've got a messed up disk. Wow. Bad news. Bottom line, pulled muscle, 3 days in bed. Felt better on Thursday and guess what, it's time to do taxes! So I spend Thursday and Friday knee deep in receipts and other bullshit. So here's my week off. Three days in bed with a painful back. Two days siting on my bed going through receipts and other tax bullshit. I'm thinking of getting a root canal over the weekend to make my week complete.

Best Show Of The Year! March 27th, 2008 Drive By Truckers Kill It! Last night, at Terminal 5 in NYC, The Drive By Truckers played an amazing set. Totally the best show so far this year!!!!!!!!!! They played a bunch of the new record and a bunch of old stuff. All sounded great. The new members, John Neff and Spooner Oldham really added a new dimension to the band's sound. The after show hang was awesome and many shots were consumed. Today, I'm crushed. Special thanks to Patterson and the Unified Scene for a great evening.
