Cool news — I just signed on to record/produce/mix a record this summer with a band from San Francisco called Tremor Low! It’s cool — kind of a post-goth thing. As a reformed goth this is TOTALLY UP MY ALLEY and I’m really looking forward to making this record. Exciting …

Never mind what I told you April 21st. Well, I mean, it’s still true. But now I’m also mixing the whole rest of the record!! This will be a fun project and a great credit. I couldn’t be more thrilled.

I just mixed a cool new band at this Japan benefit that I volunteered my mixing services for. The Head And The Heart. Good music, good people. I’m guessing they’ll do well this year. Check them out if you don’t know them already!

The title pretty much says it all. I just found out this week — my mix of a long-time crowd favorite called “New Directions” is going to be the one used on Jens’ upcoming record. AWESOME!

I made a quick day trip out to Coachella yesterday to mix my dear friends Glasser. I really love those kids and I miss them every day I’m not working with them. The show was whatever — festival show, poorly tuned PA, monitoring nightmare — but it was fine. The band played great nonetheless. A [...]

Shannon and I just got back from SXSW 2011. It was the first time I’ve been as a tourist, and it was not coincidentally by far the most fun of the 7 SXSWs I’ve been to. Not having to babysit is key! I did pick up a few choice mixing gigs — this covered all [...]

We picked up a new traveling partner in New Mexico. We’ve named him Lucky. When we hit a thaw we’ll find a stick and lay him to rest … but until then, he’s in for the long haul! (We’re in Iowa at the moment.)

Against conventional wisdom and our own better judgment, we’re heading out on a tour in the DEAD OF WINTER! I’m not sure whether we’re nuts or maybe just stupid. But we’re doing it! We’re positioned in Santa Fe at the moment, preparing to delve car-first into the snow tomorrow en route to Denver. It will [...]

Last week I remixed an Oakland hardcore punk record from 1995 by the Gimps! Super fun project. Those guys were only 17 when they made this record. I’ll have a song or two up on my mixes page when I get a minute. Other than that, Shannon and I have been working full strength on [...]

I just finished the absolute most fun little tour EVER, with a new band called Glasser. The music is great, and the people COULD NOT BE NICER. It was short, sweet, and highly entertaining. Did I mention how excellent the band are as people? Wow. I kind of lost a bit of faith in people [...]
