good evening-
hope you're good.
before i drone on about my week for you,i have to mention the cyclone in burma and the earthquake in china.
terrible terrible times,millions of displaced people,thousands of lives lost-
make sure you turn to what you have tonight and take it all in.

now it seems irrelevant to write about myself but i figure these notes to be snapshots into my time and some thoughts....
so here goes and please forgive my trite details having presented the above links.
i guess i'm just reaching out to you to let you know what we've been doing.
monday we played a small acoustic show for 98.7
which was liberating and strangely nerve wracking.
but the audience was intimate and i think it turned out ok.
hope you hear it sometime.
it was good to be singing and playing for an audience.
we did a yahoo session yesterday,and a tv show today(unnamed)as it's not out yet.
which was a total pleasure.
piece by piece we build a bridge to you.
and tomorrow aol.another stripped down session.
i'm working on some music now,a bush song in particular i haven't done in a while.
it's liberating and makes me think of the boys in the band.
and all the good times.
you'll get to hear the fruits of these labours very soon.
the record is edging closer daily.
i had planned to write a longer note to you,however by starting the note with the reports from burma and china,it doesn't feel right.
so i'd better go and allow this moment to be about what it should.
take care -and if you can't take care -take cover

hey everyone.
we're back in the studio working on some cool different versions of the record,
and some b-sides etc.
the session in las vegas went real well and we're putting the finishing touches to it now.
i wonder when i-tunes will release them(6 songs)
it'd be cool to make a whole record there,even if it is close to some serious distractions.
i think it could work great though.i'm really enjoying vegas right now.
it is a different planet.
the studio at the house is pure magic.and it sounds great.big 70's subwoofer and cool speakers make for happy musicians.
me and chris are taking different turns between guitars and singing.
it's a creative time.
and it's cool to hang in,i should post a picture.you gotta see it.
it was a busy weekend.4 birthdays and the kanye west/nerd show on monday and trying to finish a ton of details in the studio.
also some press-
it's a weird one.you meet someone for 40 minutes and try to be yourself and answer as best you can.music is easy,but then the personal stuff-and really you gotta watch what you say as it can be soooo taken out of context and i think i am rusty and so the mistakes can happen and then you wonder
if you're gonna get fried when the interview comes out.obviously i had a worrying interview.
and you know how people diss some artists for being interviewed,talking and responding without saying anything,so you want to be open but that makes it easier to screw up and
then hear about some big mouth comment that you may or may not regret.
so it is a minefield and all i want is to spread the word about the record.
you can see the interviews can stress you out.
anyhow
the artwork is done,the photos are done and now the video is the next big thing.
i'm meant to be doing it next week-haha-
wow-it's all quiet then it's a manic rush.
that's showbiz for you.
i'll keep you posted.
rehearsals start on the 5th may-and then we really start to motor.
on and up
best

good evening.i'm 19 floors up.we had a road trip here from la.we stopped on the way.there's a town called baker w/ a restaurant called the mad greek.we stopped there for a bite.
it was windy and sandy.and a little remote.
not the most talented kitchen but i felt better for a little food.
we're recording some songs for an i-tunes thing. in the studio hereat the palms.
maybe a cover and some stuff from the record.
i think the song -'love remains the same 'has started on the radio-so it is truly out.if you're reading this,clearly you've heard the song on this page.but it's so fun at the start.no expectations and just the thrill of music coming out.
i got sick,so i wish i felt better but maybe some food and some rest.
is that possible in vegas.
well food,yes.
rest?
hard.
shine on
