New CDs

Hey, I just got these new cds:

“Bring Me the Workhorse” by My Brightest Diamond
“St. Elsewhere” and “The Odd Couple” by Gnarls Barkley.

I got the Flight of the Conchords album a few months ago, but it got destroyed so I didn’t want to mention it.

So far I have only listened to a few tracks on “bring me…” it’s pretty awesome — dramatic and somewhat bjorky.

Hey, you should be able to subscribe to the rss feed in itunes now, and have my latest songs delivered automatically. Lucky you!

If for some reason the extra (non-enclosure) posts get in your way, you can subscribe directly to the projects category, which will include only the new song posts. That feed is here.

 Audio: Kick Start
project: Starfinger

For Round 0 of this year’s “Nur Ein” .. a songfight side-fight.

Information on past nur ein’s available here.

Anyone Can Fly a Blimp

As a blimp enthusiast (or something), it is my duty to post this link.

Wordpress Update

OK, I just upgraded wordpress. Considering the heavy hackery that my custom template employs, it’s looking pretty good. I’m sure *something* is broken, so let me know if you see any problems.

Star Crunch

Today was my last day of spring break, so I did what I consider to be a half-AAD (album in a day) — 10 minutes of music, done in 6 hours.. No throwing anything away. My daughter came in from school and named it after her snack. Try to enjoy it!

Track 3 is probably the best one.
