The suble view from Mars

When I hit the hay tonight, I shall dream that I am in my comfy, pimped-out air-locked pod on a spaceship hurtling through space heading straight for our green earth. Nothing but the hum of oxygen tides surrounds. When I wake up at the joyous hour of –, I will be 110% rested and rejuvenated, surrounded by the flora and fauna of beachside nirvana. Because every morning should be that, no matter how thick the schedule gets. No matter how many emails and announcements and rehearsals are on the menu du jour for the next 2 weeks. Always appreciate the world you live in, or the rest is shit. Or shit the rest. Whut? Am I making any sense here?

We’re still in studio-mode with some of the tracks, and this is good. Gonna sound soooo dang delicious good. I’ll post the new song for everybody soon… for now, time to hit the hay.

@THE CENTER on a midsummer’s night

‘Twas a beautiful evening post-rain, the air distilled, a taut summer breeze… perfect for a midsummer night’s salon at THE CENTER. Ed Bennett and Dusty Wright of Culture Catch had asked me to perform my rendition of “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, which got the crowd really riled up and hopping (but the party was already in full-swing, well into the night…). Dusty and Michael on acoustic guitars, Jacob Miller on piano, and me on vocals. Brooding, intense, slow, the guys really hit it, even Tori Amos would’ve been proud. I mean, how often do you hear an entire crowd of drunken revelers singing along with you, singing THIS song, fully acoustic, complete with headbangers in the front row? Indeed! It was a good time.

The night was replete with organic wine bar, runway show, a banquet table lavished with towers of chocolate that stretched into infinity, bands, storytellers, and complimentary spa massages on the rooftop. Let me just say that I do believe this is the way to live, just in case there was any question.

Crazy Like Me!

An unreleased track, “Crazy Like Me” has a really upbeat vibe that makes it really fun for me to perform live. Here I am onstage in Seoul, South Korea, doing the pop-bop!
