Ahh, The Weekend

Hey Soul Mates,
it's been a long week. Still more ups than downs. The big ups are all of our new friends on MySpace and on the music scene. Saw good shows from the Piper Downs and Get Licious. All our new additions on MySpace are helping us spread the love. Thanks a bunch, cuzzins.

I finally got some knee advice from my brother Nate. The Ace knee brace bandage really helps. I'm trying to upload a picture of us in our bowling mode. Post-Injury. Not an action shot, but about as unglamorous as you'll ever see us. Ha Ha. We look like some alternate universe cast of Big Lebowski.

This afternoon, I'm off to get the haircut. Gotta pamper myself sometimes. I've been going to the same gal for about a year now. So, if you like the way my hair looks, I give Monica all the credit. If you don't it's probably because I did something to it afterwards. She's at Chaz Dean's studio in Hollywood. Chaz's group of stylists does a lot celebrity styling for award shows, TV, etc. You never know who might be there when you go (including me).

Darn, still can't get the dashboard to accept this bowling picture. Wait... There we go!!!! Check us out in all of our relaxed, yet banged up parts glory. Doug has already told me "no more bowling for you." I guess everyone wants to see me jumping around on stage next Saturday.



After the hair cut it's directly off to Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers are hosting the Rockies and after the game it's Cinco De Mayo Fireworks. Can't wait till we get a chance to perform the National Anthem at a game.
Time to eat something.

Love, Power, Peace

Being There [Grammy Recap]

Hey Soul Mates, Check out your boy. Yes, I did look that damn suave at the Grammys last night. Look, the tickets very clearly said "black tie." What could be less rock and roll than black tie? Not wearing "black tie." Frankly, the hipsters and the club girls just looked silly. Maybe I'm getting sartorially conservative, but you must be clean for the Grammys. We arrived early in the afternoon. A beautifully mild afternoon in downtown L.A. and not a sign of the predicted rain. I wanted to experience the whole nine, so we got there in time for the "Pre-telecast" ceremony. This is where 97 of the 108 gramophone statuettes are awarded. It was much more entertaining and endearing than the actual broadcast. The winners were genuinely moved, were not limited in their speech time and came in all stripes. Now, very few of the acts I voted for won. But the day did start off with a bang as OK Go won best short form video for the treadmill hopping video for Here...

John Lennon 40 Years On

Remembering John Lennon today. Forty years have flashed by. I can still hear my clock radio turning on to the incongruent sound of the Beatles on Dec. 9, 1980 and wondering why? I think about John every day. I am fortunate to have been able to make pilgrimage to Mendips, Abbey Road and Strawberry Fields, NY; to play on stages like the Cavern, the Jacaranda and the Troubadour where he performed or made trouble, or both. Here’s a quick playlist for you and me. (Just Like) Starting Over I Should Have Known Better Bless You Nobody Told Me Strawberry Fields Forever Nowhere Man Enjoy the day. Fill it with peace. Fill it with music. #JohnLennon #Liverpool

Murderous Haircut of the Mayor of Bel Air - Book Review

“The Murderous Haircut of the Mayor of Bel Air” is a trippy new mystery novel from Phillip Mottaz. It captures the grit and gilt of the City of Angels with the flair of a contemporary Raymond Chandler. The brisk pace and wit are reminiscent of Douglas Adams’s entries in the detective game. Flourishes of  Fletch  and “Medium” also spring to mind. However, Mottaz has added a psychic/mutant/superhuman touch and his own comedic voice, structure and internal monologues to the proceedings that help the author announce his own style and the arrival of a literary heroine for a new generation. Hairstylist and budding private investigator, Danica Luman is the perfect character to convey the irony, angst and sarcasm needed to tell a 21st century L.A. crime story. Danica also represents anyone who thought it would be neat to get tangled up in a mystery and the darkly comic cautionary tale that follows. The genre is recognizable, but Mottaz offers a fresh take on the not-ready-for-prime-ti...
