DJ for a day
Well, this should be interesting. I’ve never done a radio show as a DJ before, but I’ll be giving it a spin – sorry – this Friday, July 10th, from 12-2 pm eastern time on WXDU Durham, which you can stream online at wxdu.org. It’s a great station – usually. I’m sure it’ll go back…

New Page with Sound Cloud link for Outtakes, Ephemera
Today I put up a new page on the menu of this site that links to a SoundCloud playlist where I’ll be posting a rotating cast of outtakes and demos and ephemera. Read the new page here – and happy new year to all!!!! All instrumental tracks are now done for the new record. There…

The Residents and the Arctic
I rarely hear an entire record played on the radio. A few months ago, I heard the album Eskimo by the Residents played on WXDU’s stellar Sunday afternoon show, Polyphonic Perversity. I soon purchased it and have really enjoyed hanging out with it since. I know very little about the Residents, so I won’t say…

Algebra: The Root of All Evil?
As the deadline for my current Kickstarter campaign draws near, math is on my mind. We’ve got until noon on Tuesday to raise another $650. Math has also been on my mind as the school year has started up in my work as a teacher. Two weeks ago, I attended a workshop for teachers who…

I’ll be doing an interview on WXDU, (88.7 fm in Durham, WXDU.org online,) from 7 to 8 pm on Sunday night August the 24th. This was supposed to take place on 8/17, but had to be rescheduled because the DJ was involved in an accident. I’ll be playing some rough mixes from the record I’m…

(POSTPONED since first posted – see below.) I’ll be discussing my new album and playing some demos and rough mixes from the project on WXDU in Durham, NC on any given Sunday <formerly 8/17> from 6 to 7 pm. You can listen live online at WXDU.org, or if you are local, on your FM dial at…

The Battle of the Basket
Sometimes magazines surpass your expectations. I click on a lot of links that my friends post about social issues on Facebook, but I can’t say a lot of them lead to Esquire magazine. Yet the other day, I followed a link posted by a former teaching colleague of mine to an excellent article Esquire ran by…

Kickstarter up and running today
I launched a Kickstarter campaign to help pay for my forthcoming album today. You can check out the project description and rewards here. I just got back from spending 4 days recording with Scott Solter, Peter Hughes, Andrew Hiller and Louis Landry at Mitch Easter’s Fidelitorium Recording Studio in Kernersville, NC, (pictured above.) One of…
