No Sleep 'Til Liverpool

Alright. Just wrapped up a nice long practice session. The set for IPO Liverpool is firming up. I have worked up acoustic versions of a few more of my new songs. I'm especially looking forward to debuting "On The Rebound" at the Cavern Club. It is one of my new collaborations with Bryan Farrar. Plus I took a crack at a couple of covers that I have never heard performed live; one that I don't even know that the original artist has ever played in person. Covers are a real luxury at IPO sets. So many great acts, there is limited time to get your musical point across. I will be sticking with the hits, but perhaps you'll find me on Mathew St.

I'm getting really excited about performing in the UK for the first time in four years. More exciting: getting to see familiar faces in the audience. For those of you in the UK, I will be toting along copies of A Talent For Loving and the exclusive new single "Your Majestic Rejection," for your listening pleasure. The single will only be available in the UK. An exclusive for the mini-tour. Of course, the IPO programme will be featuring a really cool advert for So Sophisticated.

For my American fans (frankly, all fans will be eligible for this one), I will be launching a cool promotion this weekend, where you can receive a free one-of-a-kind souvenir from Liverpool signed by yours truly. Watch this space, Twitter and facebook for details!

Don't forget to check out the epic video for "Your Majestic Rejection." Nearly 350 views in just over a week is great for an independent artist. Thank you for watching it. The Force will be with you... Always.

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...

Getting Better All The Time

Hey Soul Mates, long week. Thanks to everyone who sent along their best wishes for my recovery from food poisoning. I'm still creaky, but there has been a lot going on. The world keeps on spinning. Well, I finally got our ntsc (North American video) master of " A Talent For Loving " made. The original was in the pal format, so it had to be converted before it could be distributed here. As a result of several snafu's, I've upgraded my dvd drive. And thanks to KS1 Security's continuing sponsorship of the band, we have a new color photo printer! That means we can make super-pretty press kits to send out to the record labels and industry players. It's taken a long summer to get to this point. We've had several people of decent magnitude utterly flake out on us. I ain't gonna name names, but you know who you are. As a result, the band is forging ahead on its own (manufacturing our own dvd's is just the tip of the iceberg). We aim to get our music h...
