    Outside A Small City: Instrumental E-Release out now

    Outside A Small City originally came out in a limited edition of 100 vinyl LPs via Italian label Almost Halloween Time Records in April of 2019.

  • Gnawing on the Bone now available!

    Gnawing on the Bone now available!

    The upcoming releases section of this website has felt a bit like a closet in need of cleaning out.  That load has lightened as of yesterday with the digital release on Bandcamp of Gnawing on the Bone.  This is an instrumental project that was written in Watertown MA in 2011 in one sitting as a…

  • Driftin’ back to Buckley

    Simon Joyner once said to me I wish I could sing like Tim Buckley, but I do what I can with what I have.  I said I felt the same way.  This morning I was looking for something irrelevant to listen to while nearing completion of Gnawing on The Bone, an instrumental project I’ve been…

  • It’s Halloween Time

    I’m pleased to announce my participation in a seasonally tuned in lo fi compilation called It’s Halloween Time from Chthonic Records (US) and Almost Halloween Time Records (Italy).  It kicks off with a tune from C. Worth, whose instrumental guitar work I have been enjoying over the past year, and meanders through numerous fragmentary delights. …

  • What We’ve Been Up To

    I recently got to write a post for Dusted Magazine‘s Listed series about ten records & books I’m fond of.  It’s not a Top 10 of All Time, for reasons stated in the opener, more like what I wanted to write about on that occasion: Art Melody, Kari Ka Kian Fô Baaba Maal & Mansour…

  • Inka Cola / Holiday Shows

    One of my favorite lyrics on our new record uses a nugget I got from a passage in Mark Pendergrast’s great history of the Coca-Cola corporation: in perhaps the perfect symbol of neo-colonialism, the Coca-Cola corporation actually bought out Inka Cola of Peru.  The line in the song goes,   “Mao’s Little Red Book slandered you…

  • Our record came out today

    I started writing these songs back in 2010.  7 and 3/4 years later they are out there, it’s pretty cool.  Early reviews from Ghettoblaster Magazine, With A Messy Head and Popdust.Com are already out with more to come from Magnet, Bandcamp, and others. Magnet premiered Contamination In the Grass last week, while The Big Takeover premiered…

  • New Album available for Pre-Sale; Back from Europe for late July / early August USA shows

    Me and the Cicadas are back from Europe, where I was locked out of posting on this website cuz of technical difficulties.  Alex, Wendy, Scott and I had a great tour with some pony-riding and other vacation hijinks mixed in between the shows.  Thanks to the many folks who helped make it happen. Our new…
