Outsider Music

I have to admit, when I opened the March 2009 issue of Spin Magazine, whose cover stars were the Yeah Yeah Yeahs fronted by a horrifically leather and spiked clad Karen O, I was a bit nervous for the trio’s upcoming release which vowed to “bring back dance rock”.

Cilantro Prawn Salad

Prawns, avocado, sliced onion, Trader Joe’s cilantro salad dressing, and fresh ground pepper atop baby greens. Served with a side of grilled asparagus and roasted garlic.

Lemon-Agave Chamomile Mar-tea-ni (non alcoholic)

Tazo Calm chamomile tea shaken with agave necter and lemon juice, strained into a fancy glass!

Bored at home I decided to do a couple new recordings…

MOMENTS

[DOWNLOAD]
I wish the moon would shine forever
So you can stare in wonderment
I wish the moon would shine forever
Your face lights up upon it’s gaze

These are the moments that I think of the most

I wish the ducks would swim forever
We can watch them as they play
I wish the birds would sing forever
A song for me, a song for you

These are the moments that I think of the most

I wish we didn’t have to get out of bed
Our love is warm and the world is cold
I wish we didn’t have to get out of bed
Our love is warm and the world is cold!

These are the moments that I think of the most

Swallows is working on a new album, Between The Sea And Sky.… The music has been recorded by Kipp Crawford and I decided to engineer my own vocals.

To get some privacy and take in a bit of nature, I turned the Swallows van into a recording studio and recorded the vocals on top of Portland’s Mt Tabor.

Here is a clip of me singing “When They Come For Us”

Here is video from some impromptu wall painting my friends and I did with a local artist at 3AM:

Los Angeles based avant-pop band, Eagle and Talon rolled through Portland last night. I’ve been following them for a few years now and their sound has progressed into the jagged art rock realm with a post riot grrrl reference to Call The Doctor era Sleater Kinney.

Watch my video footage of their song “All Of My Guardians” off their upcoming full length, Thracian:

My first fan-altered music video! Featuring music by The Catch and footage from Godard’s Vivre Sa Vie.

totally gay, I know.

My latest music project is called THE CATCH with my good friend, Sarah-Ruth. After years of dust, I’m re-teaching myself how to play a Casio CTK-611. Together we create dance worthy songs that are reminiscent of a lo-fi version of The Knife getting wasted with the Kills making yellow snow in starstruck streets.
