April Snow Nobody seems to remember Santa Fe ever getting more moisture in a seven day period that in this past week...sometimes blue sky and 70F turned to light snow and just under 40F in less than an hour...makes your head spin! 2:20:04 PM    comment []; May I lead you this way...down the winding hall... ...to a fabulous story called Obo Cocteau by Lawrence Russel. 2:16:36 PM    comment []; Friday Music: the very faint sounds of a dishwasher Mood: exhausted but elated Almost done. I should deliver all of the visuals and text to our designer on Monday and the music is basically done. Jon Gagan had only a couple of suggestion regarding the mixes and it doesn't get much better than this: Very cool journey. Nice work with the arrangements, and great guitar playing as well. Your imagination and vision with soundscapes is most impressive. The strong, sustained mood and the little touches will make this an album good for hearing over and over. Hooky tunes and kick-ass grooves! Really- great album. Congratulations. I can't wait for this to come out- I'm proud of my contribution, and I want to spread it around! Well, the mountain on my back is slowly deflating into a hill....which I feel is manageable. Is "La Semana" a great album? Yes, it really is and I am very proud of it. Was it worth the hell I walked through to arrive here? Especially if I consider that most of my fans are not ready for the internet and we will probably only sell a few thousand copies of this album? I don't know....and I really don't know. I mean, of course the pressure is largely self-inflicted and no record exec is breathing down my neck...but I have always been better than anybody in applying pressure to myself! Something is going to have to change... I am hoping that we can release "La Semana" on June 1st, as the first date of the tour is June 10th and we would like to give you the chance to order the package before we take to the road... 10:25:01 AM    comment []; Ends of the Earth Strange things are happening with this planet of ours. Here are five eccentricities -- and their implications. By Bruce Sterling from Wired magazine. [Wired News] One reads this and realizes that life is a precious gift that flickers and no matter how much insurance we have bought and money we have in our bank account, it can dim at any time. This is true for our individual lives and equally true for the life of the this planet and the whole solar system. So, breath in and enjoy being here now - and take care... 10:04:47 AM    comment [];
