Seven Days Valentine's Mix Tape

Recently the local paper here put together a V-Day mix tape compiling music from several local hitmakers including yours truly. In typical Nuda fashion, I'm the one with the depressing track. And here I thought I was going to be all alone brushing my hair tomorrow. Funny the shit that pops up in life. Anyhow, check it here: http://www.7dvt.com/2012local-music-valentines-mixtape

False spring

I'm listening to Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes that just popped up on my Pandora channel (Joanna Newsom channel with Akron/Family "variety"). This album was an obsession for some time back when it came out. Like so many bands I sort of stumble upon, this one I looked up online when they were playing at Metronome in town one night. Most unfortunately, I fell in love and the show was sold out. Big tragedy. But the album -- and especially the song Home (duh) -- became one that I listened to constantly for months.

What's the sign language for "frog?"

Sometimes I think I could be a psychic. Like the other morning when I dreamt my mother was sick. The alarm went off and I awoke. Not a moment later, I received a text message from my mother. It said, "Wrong number?" "Huh?" "My phone rang twice and stopped; it was you." "I just woke up, but you were in my dream." "All good, I hope." "No, you were sick. Are you sure I called you? My phone has no record." "Positive." So who called my mother?

Interview on Alright, I'm wrong

Hey y'all, leaving this morning for a little jaunt to Somerville, MA, then heading north to Portland, ME, and then back home for an afternoon set at the LAke Champlain Maritime Festival downtown. Andrew Fersch of the blog Alright, I'm wrong interviewed me in anticipation of the Friday show at the Apohadion Theater in Portland. Check it here.

There they are; I want in

They say hate directed outward is simply a mirror reflecting back at you. I say it's jealousy of the misdirected kind.

Decapitations and Green Upchuck: a dream in Astoria

Dream: I was working maybe or somewhere with shopping carts. My brother's girlfriend was in the hallway pushing her cart. Maybe I sabotaged her somehow so that her cart went out of control and she and the cart were mangled at the end of a long hallway. I blocked my ears from the noise in anticipation of the crash. Some woman looked at me wondering what I was doing until she heard it too. Cut to me hiking with my brother and him accusing me of being the one who decapitated his girlfriend. It was me, he yelled. She was torn into pieces.
