Songs for Southern Gothic

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010
Okay.  I've done these over the past 5 or 6 months as these songs have gotten written.  Song writing is an odd thing and it's not very exciting.  But, I think it will be fun someday to read over this bullshit.  I think I have some stuff about the songs in some other posts, but this is going to take it from start to finish - or as much of the process as I can handle stuffing in here.  Really, if you've seen one song being built, you've seen them all. Read More

Cruel Reminder

Here's what's changed.  I used to walk through the woods and shoot at anything that happened to cross my path.  Now - I tie something to a stake and walk around in wide varying repeating circles and shoot at the same thing from different angles until it's completely mangled and bloody and unrecognizable. For now, I like this new way much better.  I think there will be three of these.  i belong, then southern gothic, and then snow white.  I'm digging it the way my uncle digs fly fishing.  No need to mount a fish...  just do the work to get it, enjoy the process, and throw it the hell back.  Mounting it in this case would be putting out… Read More

I think I first played with Tony Lee in like, 88 or 89.  We've known each other way too long.  It's probably much worse for him than it is for me.  And we have a pretty fucked up relationship.  Always have.  That's the way we like it.  It's some kind of strange mixture of respect and disrespect.  Ha!  I don't know what it is really.  He always puts his drum kit too close to me on stage.  Egos butt heads.  Creative differences punch each other in the lip.  Mostly I think it's about who has the… Read More

Southern Gothic?

Friday, May 28th, 2010
Haven't been here in quite some time.  Have had an insane couple of months of creativity for some reason.  All these acoustic songs keep popping out - and while I'm totally still into Snow White Snow and totally committed to making sure that happens eventually - it seems that we'll need to get this out of the way first.  I'm pretty excited about it.  Kind of getting back to more of our acousticy root cellarish roots- although the songs hopefully won't suck anywhere near as much as those old root cellar songs did. We'll see. Read More

Snow White Snow

Saturday, January 30th, 2010
Hmm.  Haven't been round here in awhile.  The records been out for a few months and feedback's been good.  The expected disappointment has been doled out.  That's about it.  We're doing this very low profile PR push.  So low profile that you'll never hear about it.  But, we really love our record and would like for folks to hear it.  We haven't figured out how to make that happen.  But we do our best.  Which isn't very good.  But whatever - onward.  I need more product out there with my name on it, so time to get to work. It's been a pretty non-music-y couple of months and I'm trying to change that right now.  There have been plenty… Read More
