Hey guys,
My good friends Aquaport just finished up their new album, Like Missiles. They’re consistently a fantastic band. I helped out with some playing on the track “Stars For You.” You can check out the new album on iTunes.
It’s really nice to be able to open the windows again. I was working on some other recording projects and really felt like taking a break, so I set up somewhere new and did this. It’s a simultaneous feed from my pedal board and a microphone in the window. Posted just as it was heard in my room.
Winter Song for Friends
This is a cover of “Last Snowstorm of the Year” off of the Low album Trust. I feel like it’s a bit of a hack job, but I like to have a song together for December 25th. This has become one of my favorite winter songs.
Enjoy winter.
I never realized they turned the lights on Main Street off at a certain point during the night. Or they lost power. Either way, it made for a cool adventure. I wanted to share some of the sketch for a song that was made post-adventure.

It turns out I’ve completely run out of copies of Tired Robotics. So for the show yesterday I printed up some special edition copies. It included the first CD plus three tracks off the next CD. I made a stamp and used it to paint up some paper, which I folded into a little case.
Keep summering.
Quick note: I’ll be playing a house show in Emmaus on Friday, June 18th. Windy Mother and Coyote Cook will be playing first. Email me for the address and information.
There’s a whole lot getting done this summer… and I love lists. Here’s a list of things to look out for in the next 3 months—
-The release of the second CD, which is getting it’s final touches right now.
-A music video for Paper System produced by Taylor Leonard
-A hopeful video collaboration with Stephanie Mount
-More live shows
-New music with an old friend
It’ll all go up here.
Hey.
I collaborated on a track with Jez Godin called “Go To Sleep, Go To Sleep”. It’s on his new album, At Odds and Evens. Check it out on Myspace or buy the album on iTunes.
Keep an eye out for more collaborations.

Silent Night.
Carrying the tradition on from last year. Enjoy the winter, everybody.
This is a new, as of yet untitled song. It’s the first one in eight months. It may change, but for now I’d like to share it.
