"My Lady's House" by Iron and WineHere I am in Oslo, Norway. Tonight we play Rockefelle. I think we are two weeks into this tour. I am getting into my groove again. Iron and Wine has given me all sorts of new challenges. Some great old guitars that need a little love, some acoustics (i don't usually work with acoustics), a banjo, violin, and a mandolin. I like a challenge.Like every year, I

Willie Nelson, "Hallelujah" from the record SongbirdWhen we arrived in Austin on 19 August, we did not know what fun Austin had for us. The Beauty Bar, was kind enough to let us join in on their BBQ fun for the evening. Austin friends came out, a few Donnaholics and some that just wanted to party. Some of the Blondie crew and band showed up, with Icubus crew in-tow. After several drinks it

In January, Zane, Jokers of the Scene, Kim, and I, went to vegas for the weekend. Jokers and Kim had never been. I had Ms. K Wards birthday to attend. We jumped in a Bandago van and headed for the bright lights of the desert. We all stayed at the New York, New York hotel. Zane found a sweet deal and it seemed like a good place to start for a bunch of newbies. The weekend trip went well.

My brain, was foggy most mornings, to say the least. It was no surprise to me one afternoon that when I got to the show, that my wallet was not with me. I figured in my fog, I had dumped my wallet out

I have been really mellow the last couple of days. Been listening to all sorts of stuff, this is one of my favorites. On tour with Sleepercar (Jim Ward of Sparta/ATDI), I would try and get Jim to play it every night. They played it most nights. I couldn't find a good version from Sleepercar, on youtube. So here is the original by Bob Dylan.

Sleepercar (Jim Ward of Sparta/ATDI), "Stumble in" off of the album West Texas.Coming to a close on 2008. A hard year, filled with fun and disapointment. I have traveled a lot emotionally and physically. I started off the year with a move to LA, a new job at IHEARTCOMIX and my divorce becoming final. With all the ups and downs, no more than any other person, I have learned much about myself

Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings, "100 Days, 100 Nights" I have been listening to this song/CD a lot. I really dig how this band and singer lay it down. October, was busy busy. I started working for The Donnas and the shows were all in the first week at Hard Rock Cafes. It was good to be with the girls again. I had toured with them back in 2001. We are all much older/wiser people, more

Ok, so I was supposed to post about last tour... FUCK IT. In short, I had a blast with the band. Their US manager, bailed right before tour. The Danish manager... Whatever. My mom could manage a band better. The band, great guys. They had fun at the beaches I took them to and I had fun showing them parts of America most Europeans (and Americans) don't see (like "The Thing" in the desert)...

June-July found me on tour with The Fashion. This tour encompassed everything I love and Hate about tour. So, before I go into it, and there is a lot to get into, I have decided to play a song that came back over and over on tour. The name of the song is "Old Croy Road" it is by American Steel, and could easily be one of the best songs about music/life. You can find it on their album, "

Long days. Lost some money. Lost a debit card. Tonight I catch up on sleep. Tomorrow, great food at Harrison Street Cafe in Richmond, VA.(So tired, I can't even be bothered to come up with a song title for my blog or a song to down load. When I wake up one day, I will update something worth reading. Good night.)New t-shirt design by Ms Nikki Forte. It should be out soon.

If only it was as simple as just point A to B. But instead I have to do a ton of prep. So sit back and watch this clip and enjoy the glory of romantic 70s truckin.I am so fucking tired lately. been waking up at 7 am. going for a two hour walk. Then doing about 6-8 hours of staring at my computer, doing data entry and other tour prep things. So here I go again. At least my tour isn't as

This is a taste of April. Coachella was involved and so was a Bar B Q at Kpants' house. You can see Coachella pics here and other assorted April pics here.11 am at the pool. So nice. A Drummer and her Drum Tech, reunited. Don't mess with Chopper's style. I came home to my two room apes, dressed like this. Got the best room apes ever!

"Going back to Cali" by LL Cool Jay. This song is from an era of Hip Hop that was exciting and a time when LL still had something worth listening to. LL himself didn't think it would be a hit. It is a perfect song for today. I hung out at The Reaper's house. EmKay Pants called me to hang out, Catsuit was also there. I tried rounding up Franki and Travis, but they had shit to take care of.

Bastards of Young, a fantastic song by The Replacements. I heard it every night on tour. The Cribs did a fantastic cover. So press play and continue reading.March was a busy month for me. I had to prep for Austin and tour with The Cribs.SXSW Austin, is a crazy time. You might have read my twitter while I was down there. I updated it often. Especially when bands ruled or when stress levels

This is what I look like after 22 hours being up, going to sleep with the moon... That is SXSW.the best part about today...I get to take all these Austin related emails, files and crap, and just store it in a little digital box. Hopefully, never to be seen again.

Today's music..."Goldfield", by Rock Votolato, from the album "Makers". (couldn't find a online version of Rocky singing this song. But here is a girl covering the song on youtube.)here is me today...Austin can be a bit of a cluster fuck during any given weekend. Now add a festival. HOLY CRAP! Lets just say everything is Fast and Loose. Nothing is quite organized how it should be. Because

Put it on and feel my brain.Here I am toady:So I have spent the better part of the day going over every email I have received over the past month. All relating to SXSW.

Today's theme song for my blog is a great song by a fun band from the UK. "Over and Over" by HOT CHIP! I woke up at 4 am today. Two reasons. I went to bed before 11pm...my body likes to only get 6 hours sleep...my brain hates this. The other reason, I got a text message from my friend Clint Catalyst. I am doing a job for him and he was still up preparing for it. This job? Hand delivering

Stealing this idea from my brother. A photo booth pic. Maybe I will remember to do it often. You might have noticed that I shaved. That was the longest I had a moustache.Last night I played some records at the Beauty Bar in Hollywood. It was the IHEARTCOMIX, Monday event, Still Fucking Awesome.

This post started out to be a list of the cool and interesting things I have done in LA so far. Then it took a turn to another topic. That is the great thing about blogs. Its not an article, its just a journal that you feel comfortable sharing with friends, family and strangers. I titled this blog after a song by Jim Ward.

Last night, Zane and I went to see Trash Talk. The band was fucking brutal. It was like 1996. They reminded me of Death Wish Kids, The Unabombers and RAMBO. They are what is good with Hard Core. Short Fast and Loud. The band before them made me want to shoot myself...Before went to the show at the Knitting Factory, we went to the Roosevelt for dinner. Well dinner for Zane, dessert for me.

December came to a smashing close. The Hoovers and I went out for NYE. We had a blast. Ate some good Thai food, then met up with Ron and Quinn at the Cha Cha. We found a booth early in the evening and hunkered down and wouldn't give it up. Drinks were had, dancing commenced and good times were all around. After shit got wack we left for Moe Bar's last call. I got a few shots off of the

D-I-V-O-R-C-E-P-A-R-T-Y at Havana was a good time. Lots of friends showed up. It wasn't packed but it was nice of people to stop by and have a drink. There were two awkward instances, one confused ex showed up by accident and one girl with too much attitude towards one of the divorcees, almost started a fight. I brought in some cupcakes...3 dozen. They were all consumed. The party was a

So my updates are late. A bunch of people have been bugging me. I know, I haven't posted my early stories like I said I would. oh well. November started out pretty good. I saw Rocky Votolato at the Showbox on the 1st. Then flew out the next day to Austin for Fun Fun Fun Fest 2. It was a blast. Murder City Devils played two shows. One on Saturday the 3rd and at the festival on the 4th. I

About three months ago shit kind of hit the fan for me. Those close to me know what all went down. I will not bore you with the details. In the mean time I have been writing a lot. So starting next week I am going to post tour stories of the past and adventures that I have had in Seattle.

I am learning to relax. I spend a lot of time thinking right now. I have been doing some painting. A little bit of talking with my friends all across the country. I will be turning 31 fairly soon. I can't help but have a sort of midlife crisis/review of life thing, going on right now. I guess better now then later. So, if you have not seen me in a while...I have not been around (for years).

But when you are hanging out on Venice beach everyday, trips to vegas, driving to philly, and driving back to seattle...you don't find much time to write on line. As always you can find more pictures from my trip at Roadie To Go Photo Albums.A list of things I got done on my trip:*Wrote some more of my story/script.*Swam in the Pacific.*Saw way to

The incident: July 6, 2007- the crew bus stopped in Birmingham, England. When I got back to the bus the Production Manager, Dermot Lynch, accused me of being late and endangering our load in time. He did this in a very offensive and abusive way. I told him to leave me alone. He kept berating me. I told him, "Leave me alone. " He hit me. HARD, in the face, with a open hand. I told him, "To

Well after a trouble some month I have decided to take a trip. Its my first vacation by myself in, I think, 12 years. I have jumped ship from tour and stayed with friends for a few days but never just jumped in my car and taken off. For the next couple of weeks my posts will be about this trip.2 August 2007 I had planned on leaving early in the afternoon. But my cat Avram was sick. Erin

Today is July 5th...damn time flys.Things to know about this tour: * It is nearly non-stop traveling * I don't speak enough languages. Communication can be hard. * I miss home, at least I have clean underwear. * Arcade Fire are killing it. The crowds for the most part are going ape-shit.I am up early today, like that is different then any other time. I can't seem to

Well I didn't post much about the US tour after Chicago. It was hard and fast. Vancouver to George Washington to Portland to Los Angeles to Berkely California. It was a blast and went by quick. Playing Sasquatch in George, Washington was a blast cuz I saw lots of Seattle friends.Now I am in Switzerland and its a month later. Just like everyone else, older then 20, time flys. Things have

12:35 Mountain Time, Tuesday, 22 May 2007. After 9 years of touring, there is not much I haven't seen or done. But this tour, with Arcade Fire, has been one of firsts. So here is my list of things I have done on this tour that I have never done on tour before.1) In DC, I missed bus call. It is called, "Getting oil spotted." It was ok cuz the band bus was still there (we were with band

May 12, 2007 Montreal, QC, Canada Tours are a collection of days and weekends that pass so fast it is hard to keep track. The boredom of one day blends to the next. On occasion there are blimps of excitement and fun. About of a third of those can you honestly share with the “public” or Family or friends. Before Vegas had it, the saying was “What happens on the road, stays on the road.”

Not much to say but this is fucking awesome. I have been in a few publications (usually by accident or proximity to "fame") and I have even been in a Chocolate cook book. This is the first time I have had a genuine article written about me. (ok so its just a side bar. but still its awesome)this side bar is part of an interview with Samantha Maloney in Drum! Magazine's January issue.

Back in Seattle, it rains. What a suprise. After the Japan dates, which went by too quickly but were a blast, Erin and I went to Las Vegas! We go to Vegas every year and this year it was for a friend's wedding. it was short and quick. It was good fun. So getting home was nice. I have almost completed the move-in that I started 6 months ago. Sleeping has been great fun. So I have already

I woke up at 10 am and worked all day til show time at 11 pm. The show went by so quick. I went out afterwards with Samantha and we went to her friends house to party. The band showed up later.
