Nearly done with a second album with a local singer - all my songs - but I'm sick of the studio expense, esp. in this economy. So I'm experimenting to see what I can do on my own, all with free loops and free editing software, to scratch the itch to create but save the bucks. I have serious limitations as a music person - complete, overwhelming, and absolute - but oh well, I'm doing it anyway.

I don't play, I can't sing, I'm tone deaf, and I don't know anything. Still, I love to make music, so please forgive me.

Audacity, glue, spit, sweat

Revisited Portishead recently - Machine Gun, killer. Saw Citizen Cope give an acoustic show in Montreal over Thanksgiving that was awesome. Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Santogold. Throw on some Billie Holliday and I'm happy. Crank it up with the old acid rock guys - Hendrix still amazes me, Joplin sang her heart out like no one before or since. Tull's Aqualung remains a masterpiece, as does Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Could go on and on. I like a lot of stuff. Hate a lot of stuff too, but I won't go there.

Various. Grew up listening to hard rock like Led Zep and Black Sabbath, but like lots of stuff. Dig the dubsteppers in London like Plastician and Burial. Really like Santogold. My daughter more or less keeps me in touch with the new stuff.

Writer and goof-off.
