Laura Cantrell is doing a fill in for Irwin on FMU right now. She’s spinning some Bob Wills, “cherokee maiden”. Good stuff.


Clark 8 gets some play

April 10th, 2006

The cool DJs Jon and Marc at killradio.org played Oh Boy on there demo show Hear Here. I’ll update that with a link soon, they played it in the first half hour. I also recorded a crazy acoustic tune that we’ll be putting together in Clark 8 soon. I’m debating whether to [...]


The gift

April 8th, 2006

Ok. I think I’m going to have to say that where I work is awesome. For Friday, in exchange for helping out on some stuff over winter break, I and others each received a black iPod nano. I am very grateful for this, because I could never justify getting one of these [...]


Awesome I …. shot that

April 7th, 2006

Saw the beastie boys ‘authorized bootleg’ last night. At first I was sort of underimpressed… perhaps I just don’t dig enough of their newest stuff… but then they just started breaking out insane video editing techniques.

normal nightmare

April 4th, 2006

So, I wake up this morning in a panic. (I dreamed) I had finally gotten my demo some airplay and it was getting mocked mercilessly, because people were A/B playing it with a Morrissey track (off his new album) and it was the exact same song, exact same chord progression. And I was [...]


Three new songs

April 3rd, 2006

Hi there. New Clark 8 songs are up. I also put them on MySpace here which I guess sort of saves me bandwidth costs. Plus if you add Clark 8 as a friend real quick now, I’ll write a song for you. You have to be one of the 3 first [...]


LA Treasure Hunt

April 3rd, 2006

Well, we did it. The unclean pirates came in 5th or 6th out of 25+ teams. Shows what total nerds can do. For some pics look here: photos on flickr
Here is a photo of our team (the gray t-shirts) with the other pirate team. Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr. Pirate Mutiny!

Yeah, 25 miles is [...]
