…MOVED TO WEDNESDAY. All tickets will be honored. As of 10:30 AM, no crazy storm conditions in NYC yet, but every river and canal around is slowly breaching its walls and gradually filling local streets. Ominous. Very spooky. Thankfully Bowery made the responsible call in canceling tonight’s show. If you live within walking distance and [...]

Look, I’m not gonna belabor it, but like most of the rest of us who grew up in the shadow of the Twin Towers, there’re still more than a few raw nerves surrounding so many of the many many things one might think about when remembering September 11, 2001. The weird thing is, I had [...]

I was having my heart ripped out by Blossom Dearie doing this Francesca Blumenthal song yesterday, and started to not be able to not hear it as a political metaphor (which is a problem I have – I admit it). Anyway, noodled around on it this afternoon while practicing for other things…

As we’ve taked about here before, for [x] amount of years, and for any number of reasons, I’ve always tried to play some kind of free outdoor show in NYC during the summer. This year, for a lot of reasons, it looked like it wasn’t going to happen. There were a few other ideas that [...]

*UPDATE* I received a very kind and heartfelt apology from the producer I’d been working with at Radiolab, and I wanted to acknowledge that publicly and let you all know that there are very few hard feelings. For all intents and purposes, we (meaning all of us, including you, you crazy diamond) should consider this [...]

Right off the bat, I don’t want this fight to happen. I have absolutely zero desire to see Jamie Kilstien beat the crap out of Jonah Goldberg, and make no mistake – I know Jamie Kilstien, and he WILL beat the crap out of Jonah Goldberg. He’s a buff guy who trains in Muay Thai [...]

NEW PLAN – help us finish out the 10th anniversary year of the release of “The Tyranny of Distance” (released in May 2001) by joining us for a concert at one of our homes away from all our homes, the Black Cat, in the city where the album was made, Washington, DC, on Sunday, April [...]

Seeing 4 NonBlondes’ name pop up a bunch of times on Twitter over the last few days (not gonna try and figure out why) reminded me of this thing I did for Blender 8 years ago. Given that 8 years is approximately 32 generations in blog years, I’ll just remind you that Blender was a [...]

Intense couple of weeks, here on the internet! HERE is a statement from our friends at Lookout on the topic of their decision to finally cease all label operations: ——– Hard to say goodbye I’m not sure exactly where exactly to start but I guess it’s best to get the hard part out of the [...]

I’ve been getting a lot of Twitter questions about why a bunch of my records have disappeared from all the digital services (Sportify, iDudes, Mandora, etc.). It’s because our beloved Lookout Records, which ceased releasing new material in 2006, but carried on keeping the catalog in print until this past December, has, sadly, shuttered it’s [...]
