NEW MUSIC: Something Sinister 2009
Another song written in the early 1990s and rearranged to suit my current assortment of tastes and idiosyncrasies, “Something Sinister” was—in its original incarnation—a complete failure. I tried to use the song in tw… -
New Music: Dollhouse 2009
No, the title of this song isn't a reference to Joss Whedon's current television series (although, given my nerdy predelictions, I can see why one might leap to that conclusion).This track is actually a reinterpretation… -
The song does NOT, in fact, remain the same.
In recent years, there has been some consternation regarding certain artists who, much to their fans’ annoyance, have been known to go back and alter their earlier works. Writer, director, and producer George Lucas made… -
American Idol=American Idiots, Pt. 3 (UPDATED)
The following post has been time-stamped, for which I apologize...it's not a practice of which I'm particularly fond. However, I wanted to post this update as a result of the great discussion that has arisen from this s… -

New Music: "Paint it Black" (a Rolling Stones cover)
Originally written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (though there's some debate on that...), this is another song I've wanted to cover for years, yet I was never able to talk my former bandmates into doing so. I must s… -
New Music: "Down the River"
I have tried and tried to write lyrics for this song; unfortunately, this four-minute-and-eleven-second song has so many influences behind it that no single set of lyrics I could concoct would adequately encapsulate the… -
On Songwriting
I would really like to enlighten and entertain my Xanga friends this fine day (or evening, depending on your time zone), but alas, I lack the words. I wouldn’t say I’ve got a writer’s block—as Brian K. Vaughan once said… -
Rock-n-Roll Xmas, Pt. 1
Some of you read my blog, but don't ever think (or want) to visit my audioblog. Well, get to clicking, because I just posted the first in a trio of holiday songs to which my wife and I have given the ol' rock-n-roll tre…
