so on saturday night, i met up with my buddy nick b/c he’s decided that life in socal has gotten boring and so he’s headed to the mid-west where he will—undoubtedly—become wildly successful and that’s good because if there’s one thing i’m good at it’s having friends who do an amazing job at life.

so we met up on saturday evening and hung out until we were good-and-ready to go home and roamed from joint-to-joint, remembering good times along the way.

apparently, word had gotten out that it was nick’s last night in socal, b/c downtown redlands was in the celebratory mood and they did not disappoint.

to make the night extra-special-awesome, i brought along the iPad and whenever anyone would come up to take a look at it, nick would say, “yeah and it’s a phone too!”  i would then proceed to hold the giant iPod Touch to my giant iJeff Head and hilarity ensued. i’m sure more than a few of the people who saw me holding that giant thing up against my face were convinced that it was indeed the biggest-fuck-phone they’d ever seen…and they loved it.
they LOVED it.

socal will miss you, nick, and so, i want to tell you…just…just…keep on truckin’

just for an evening

back in ’92 a guy with a guitar walked into a recording studio in Charlottesville, VA and recorded a demo track that glorified the love between a couple begrudgingly cheating on their significant other.

the result of a september day spent in the studio was a track entitled, “say goodbye” and—for this guy steering the ship—it remains one of the more personal and poignant songs that dave matthews ever laid to tape.

enjoy the solo-acoustic-demo from dave matthews:

the red album

if you too are a white, somewhat nerdy kid who grew up in the 90s, then you’re probably a weezer fan.

this week, the band announced all the deets of their new album that’s due out on 6/24. while the last two weezer albums have left a lot to be desired, i’m really jazzed and cautiously optimistic about “the red album“.

you can listen to the first single ‘pork and beans‘ here…it’s a catchy, crunchy, tune cut from the tried-and-true weezer pattern.

the track i’m really looking forward to hearing on the new album is “pig” which has made the rounds as an acoustic demo for the past year or so. take a listen and enjoy \m/

i’m in a very deathcab mood today and so here’s one more track from the band’s forthcoming album. this is the live acoustic version of “cath” taken from the live performance on BBC6.

the track’s folky and has a catchy guitar riff…oh and it’s about a GIRL!

i’m my father’s son.consequently, elvis presley is near and dear to my heart. nonetheless, the greatest elvis track i’ve ever heard was sung by Bono. tonight’s song is from the ‘honeymoon in vegas‘ soundtrack.falling in love is rad.

“…well, i had just gotten the book, sir…one of the boys gave it to me on the train, and the title of the book was called ‘poems that touch the heart“…i read one in particular called ‘should you go first‘ it was beautiful.”Elvis Presely, 1968

echoes and silence, patience & grace

“Wish I were with you, I couldn’t stay.

Pray for tomorrow, but for today all I want is to be home.”
