Awhile back Matt invited me to join him, the crew and band on the tour bus again for a stint, and though I'm sure Lance is loathe to have me (it's packed on there as it is) I believe myself to be small enough to fit just about anywhere there's 3 cubic feet of space. I'll be hopping on here in Toronto and staying for a gaggle of shows. I've packed a little less in the way of clothing this time, and a little more in the way ...More »

Crisp Giant snare hits echoed alone after something went wrong; Put Out Your Lights chords retracted and replayed, tinkering with notes nearly sussed out; Vocal destinations for Avalanche not fully attempted- no need to strain it now. I was invited out by Matt to take a peek at the rehearsal process for the upcoming full band tour, and to offer some insight about its progress. I was also there to do a little documenting, taking some photos. I would have taken more but I definitely ...More »

A few random bits to start with today prior to delving into the Petreaus-Crocker debacle. First, congrats to my friend Claire Folwer who wrote her first blog entry in a year yesterday – for The Guardian. Second, a rather shocking occurrence in which a girl was assaulted while it was videotaped… Regarding The Recently Announced Calgary Date I realize that some fans in Calgary might be disappointed that I’m not playing my own show but rather the Virgin Festival. Then again, the bands on the bill that day are ...More »

NOTE: UPDATE AT BOTTOM... As I was driving down the 5 towards San Diego this afternoon I was looking forward to a cool evening hanging out with Matt... I was thinking we'd have some drinks before the show... check out the surf... maybe a gorge on a nice steak... Away from the crush of the Los Angeles gig, we'd finally have some time to laugh, catch up on things and discuss the various ways we'd solve all that ails the world... Afterwards Matt would go on ...More »

I ducked out early from work this afternoon to make the 3 hour drive south of the border to Seattle. I had an absolutely terrible sleep last night, and have spent most of today trying to motivate my body to action with nothing more than caffeine and more recently a few beers. I imagine the end result is fairly similar to attempting to drive a tractor using some weird manure-based diesel. John Bollwitt and I recently checked into one of the world's ...More »
