here’s a snap from my Thanksgiving weekend that Jess and I spent with my family in Big Sur. It was deeply peaceful and restorative and so much good for the spirit. I always love to see my family, I am speechlessly thankful for them.
Today is feeling just about right. Watched Peyton Manning’s face on TV [...]
Our long-awaited and hugely-anticipated venture to the Asia finally came. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Shoko and John at MerryGate Records in Tokyo. They have released our albums in Japan and brought me over last year to do a solo performance in Tokyo. This time around we were able to bring the [...]

Getting set to play our last hometown Seattle show for a while, and our FINAL one with Mr. Aaron Goldman. It’s an emotional goodbye we must say to each other, but Aaron leaves TMTS with nothing but love as he continues on his path to become The World’s #1 Microbiologist. Seriously Aaron, if you become [...]
Modernity…Progress…Gizmos!
We jumped into the swirling techno-flood and we’re swimming like frightened little bugs. In our flailing we spotted an iPhone and grabbed on for dear life. Is this making any sense?
Point being, we got an iPhone App for Throw Me The Statue. You should download it, for freee. It’s the best way to stay up [...]
“‘93…New Year….New World Champions.”

It is a new year/decade. Time for a renewed wave of positivity.
Coincidentally, the Sonics had the best record in [...]
Elvis Costello, your voice on “King of America” is pure butter.
Highly expressive butter. And let me add, a lower salt content than I had expected.
Please take me on home to whatever America it is that you’re singing about.
I once heard on the radio this quote, which I found ticklish.
“All music journalists love Elvis Costello because [...]
We had such a blast touring the country with Nurses, really missing these dudes now that we’re home. They’re touring the country again already, playing shows with Le Loup. Highly recommend that you go out and see these guys. Such good dudes, but even if you don’t have a chance to eat diner food with [...]
Sinking into the feeling of being home. Drinking favorite coffees, record shopping, enjoying the week of indian summer.
Got some new tour plans in the works, as well as a couple of really exciting local shows that we will be announcing very soon.
