Spring STEINs

Burger King really missed the boat.

Passing the Buck

Pure, beautiful magic.

One flu over the cuckoo’s nest

I think that was the worst I’ve ever felt in my short existence.  Kyle’s said the same thing of his flu.  My prolonged fever made me lethargic (what’s new) then delirious.  There I was, lying in and out of consciousness narrating my condition singing “Hot Blooded,” “You give me Fever” and the theme song to […]

Bird flu

Well all three of Seneca Hawk have been hit with some kind of flu.  Anks suspects sabatoge.
Quyen sent me one teaser photo from the show Fri night. She’s often out of the country on film shoots and I’m so glad to get her photos when she’s around. And I just never post enough photos to […]

Take no for an answer

Our first Hotel Cafe show went super well. The room was plenty crowded. The green room too between the people and Calamity Magnet’s upgright bass. Come to think of it, I was the only male singer on […]

Futuresport

I bring you the sport of speedcabling.  Faced with a birdsnest, or spaghetti for some of you, one man must detangle yards of cable faster than the rest.  I plan on including a varation of this sport with my first annual Roadie Olympics.

Me: Hey, Mark, do you have any painkillers?
Mark: Here you go.
Me: These are dated ‘03.
Mark: They’re New Old Stock.
Leland: I hear they’re better than the regular ones.
Me: I haven’t tried them before. But I’ve read a lot of reviews on Harmony Central.
Leland: Oh they’re better. They’re pre-CVS buyout.

Eat to win

I was letting off some steam last night driving up PCH and saw that Benny Mardones is playing the Malibu Inn on the 16th.  I really like his song “Into the Night” which he released when I was like two months old.  But growing up along Lake Erie  away from the coastal cities means that […]

I never really want new gear, but . . .

…I’ve just played a baby blue Nash tele, cosmetically aged to a 1963 Fender tele. The Lollar pickups were bright and sounded fantastic.  I also played a custom tele with a flamed top, bound with Rickenbacker style fireglo finish. Seymour Duncan with a Rio Grande Tall Boy I think.  I’d be a happy camper with […]

I know you’re workin for the C.I.A. They wouldn’t have you in the Maf-I-A

Slashdot has turned me onto an interesting Hollywood Reporter article. Basically the RIAA wants to lower songwriter royalties on downloads to nine cents per song, a five percent drop from thirteen to eight percent. Tech/digital media companies involved want the royalties obliterated. They argue that a digital download is a stream like any radio broadcast. […]
