So lately I have been obsessing on the songs Scott Walker, Sufjan Stevens, Andrew Bird, and Brother Danielson. Last month I was on Rhett Miller, Spoon, and Huey Lewis pop kick. I sometimes think my listen habits are like my eating habits. Sometimes I crave the things my body needs, like apple when I need fiber or tomatoes when I need vitamin C. I am not sure what my current music diet indicates, but my soul feels better for it. It has helped me to focus on the new recording.

Btw, the recording is officially “in-progress” with drums track already laid for three songs and three more to come hopefully next week. I plan to focus on finishing it in late October early November. More on that to come….

Also on September 25^th, I am playing at the Fox and Goose in Sacramento with Ross Hammond. If you haven’t heard Ross, you should.
