well i hope your Thanksgiving was filled with lots of tryptophan delights and coma inducing, rival school football games. i came home from the holiday (pt. 1) to a pretty nutty week, so here’s a rundown of what you can get in on/are already in on… tomorrow (Wed the 3rd) i will be the musical guest on Steve Jones’ (Mr. Pistol, if you’re nasty)

radio show on Indie 103.1 out in sunny Los Angeles. if you haven’t listened to this show, it’s the best radio has to offer. no rules. no playlist. plus, he likes me, so…. Booya!!! you can listen to it from Noon-2pm or listen to it streaming on the web at

Last Show of the Year Y’all

Thursday the 4th, i am playing a Sold Out show at the Largo Theatre (at the Coronet) in LA at 9:30 or so. if you got tickets, then yay for you. it’s gonna be a special show for me. no fancy bells, lights, whistles or band. hell, i may even sit down and play my acoustic guitar and upright piano all night for you. throw in a couple of holiday songs as well (requests are accepted on a “do i even fucking know this song?” basis. if you need directions or anything like that then click (or copy/paste) here:

(this is a seated, small theatre so make sure to grab a row with your friends early if you wanna sit together and hold hands..

New Video!

the video for the first “single” called “The Weight of Her” off of my new record is out also this week!!!! we put it out on a whole bunch of sites that i hope you will check out. Amazon was kind enough to put it on their site, and we are having a ton of cool sites put it up as well.. of course, there’s always Youtube…

Recorded a Christmas Song for you again this year…

i threw down a little version of “Christmas All Over Again” and asked my buddy, singer, and co-star of the “Weight of Her” video Taryn Manning, to sing it with me. it’s gonna be avail online and other places here shortly. will let you know. yay!

Sycamore Meadows is gonna be avail on VINYL for the holidays!!!!!!!!

yes, i’m doing the biggest and coolest vinyl package ever. it is gonna be a big gatefold edition packaging with all sorts of bonus stuff included (pictures, lyrics, credits, online codes to download the digital version of the album in high quality audio file form, digital booklets, etc.). you will want this for collecting, even if you don’t have a record player. it’s a bargain too because you will be getting the digital version of the record for your computer, free of charge (or guilt) along with the 180 gram heavy vinyl (which sounds waaaay better than cd on a good turntable), for the price of a record! yay! so you will be able to order it from my website, myspace page, and also buy it in cooler, more independant music stores that don’t sell appliances and hair dryers. keep checking back here and i will let you know when ordering will commence.

that’s pretty much it for the rest of the year. oh! a legendary bar down the street from my house called The Malibu Inn is closing it’s doors (sad) due to new ownership. This Saturday the 6th is the final night that anyone will ever play there!! i have seen some legendary bands play this place and it has a massive history in Malibu for hosting some of the best shows of all time. i gotta go pay my respects to t. i think Taylor from the Foos is gonna go play with a cover band or something. i might stand at the side of the stage, foaming at the mouth to get up and play until they let me. or ask me to leave… either way, should be fun.

the website appears to be already down, but the address is:

2969 Pacific Coast Hwy., Malibu, CA 90265 and it’s this saturday night.

well, have a holly jolly holiday for me, and i will see you at the beginning of the year with a spring tour booked, a new lease on life, and some more ramblings worthy of blogging… or something.

love you mean it bye.

butch.
