Lost

Hey Soul Mates,
dag blag!!! Lost is the best show on TV since Twin Peaks and even T.P. didn't get this far this coherently. I won't actually talk about the plot of tonight's episode, but it was on FI-YA!! I can't believe a tv show is willing to go to the places this one does. There was no talk of what would happen during sweeps this year, unlike last May. But tonight there was some furious anger vented, mainly by ABC/Disney. Like Ron Artest in the sixth row, they dropped some people like a bad habit. It made for some kick a$$ television. That last scene had me jumping around the living room. I did a lot of that tonight. My Cavs edged the Wiz in OT just as Lost was coming on. Go Bron-Bron!

Well, we are 3 weeks away from our departure and debut at D 'n R live in Sheffield. It's almost upon us. The tour is going to be an adventure. For our fans coming to see us in London, I'm pleased to announce that the show at the
Bedford will be free for you. As for the other dates you can visit our website and its "new look" tour calendar for up-to-the-minute show details.

All of our fun swag has arrived. But there's still plenty to do. Gotta get a shirt altered. In the last few days, I managed to get our newest demos onto the iPod. We are going to have a half-dozen new songs by the time we get home. I'm feeling two of them in particular.

From L.A. With Love!

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...
