  • Annie Nolan and Jay Dunphy at the Solstice

    Annie and Jay are playing a solo acoustic show at the Solstice Café on Friday. Here’s the poster I did up for the show.

  • Pachelbel Rant

    I played the cello when I was young, starting when I was five up until I was 13. In addition to lessons and recitals, I also performed in a string orchestra. As I imagine is the case for many youth string orchestras, Pachelbel’s Canon in D was a staple of our repertoire. Accordingly, this standup…

  • To the guy who thinks his username on YouTube is Tweek

    Dear Guy Who Thinks His Username On YouTube is Tweek: Your username is not Tweek. My username is Tweek. Please stop clicking on the “forgot my password” link and typing in my username. I don’t need an email reminding me of what my password is, I already know it. And YouTube, you’re not blameless in…

  • Islands at Legends

    I am breaking my blog silence to tell you I just saw Islands perform at Legends, and my face hurts from smiling, they were that damn good. It was one of those shows that reminds me why I want to make music. This is to be the month of concerts for me. Coming up: Nov.…

In doing so, I found this amusing comment in the HTML: <!-- NOTE: Please ensure this is right-aligned.…

  • Ascending K2

    You may have noticed the theme has changed… I’m experimenting with the K2 template for WordPress. Let me know if I’ve broken anything.

  • Hey, Sports Racers!

    For some time, I’ve been peripherally aware of an individual by the name of Ze Frank and his video podcast, “the show“. Having now watched a few episodes, I’m pretty much hooked. It’s “The Daily Show” meets “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” meets “Max Hedroom”. Ze’s sarcastic, fast-talking, no-rules riffing is by turns hilarious and insightful.…

  • Please excuse the mess

    I was tired of the Flickr badge breaking validation on my site, so I got rid of it. In it’s place, I’ve installed a WordPress plugin to do the job. Say hello to FAlbum! Not only does it display a random selection of my photos, when you click on the thumbnail it displays the larger…
