the semi-regular musings of a semi-regular dude who's trying his best to make anything-but-regular music.

they don't call him the boss for nothin'

before i sidetrack myself, thanks to everyone who made it out on a school nite to the basement for last nite's show with strays don't sleep et al. i hope that you were as impressed with everyone else as i was. now...

i'm in the midst of hour number 4 of boss-ness today. in case you didn't notice, bruce springsteen's new album, devils and dust, came out today. it's been released solely in dual-disc format with loads of special features. vh1 classic's dedicated their programming today exclusively to all things boss. how lucky am i to have eyes and ears today?

as i watch him mesmerise a stadium full of spaniards by himself with a piano (playing sprits in the night) i am fully convinced that if i ever become an eigth of the artist, performer and writer that bruce springsteen is, i'll consider myself a raving success.

a boy's gotta have goals, right?

Yo dude. 'Twas good to meet ya the other night. Good playin', you made us sad and inspired Julie's latest blog. But a good sad. Good schtuff, keep us posted and we'll continue to promote.

PS - If you allow anonymous postings, you'll eventually get more comments. Just a tip from a four-month long blogger veteran. ;)

AHA!!! i didn't know i wasn't allowing anonymous comments.

i really appreciate you guys coming out the other nite. unfortunately i'm terrible at hanging out with new people at shows and stuff, please accept my apologies.

i thought that maybe i had something to do with julie's blog. i guess since i don't feel depressed when i write i don't realize the sadness or melancholy in my songs. the late, great townes van zandt once said (more or less), "there's two kinds of music, the blues and zippidy doo dah." i don't think i fall in the latter category.

get me real email addresses for you guys. i'd like to have a real conversation with you guys.
