What I'm Doing Now
- I'm intrigued by the new social networking built into iTunes 10. Will this be a boon for independent artists? 2010/09/01
- Now to finish recording live strings for my album with the famed Russian "Shubov Orchestra"! 2010/08/23
- I'm starting to record lead vocals for my solo album today! Thanks to Gary Burton for running "the board" so I can just focus on singing! 2010/08/23
- Expendables is gruesome & stupid with too much headache inducing shaky-cam and men with Botox/plastic surgery. Stay home. 2010/08/15
- The Other Guys was a whole lot better than I expected it to be. Will Ferrel wasn't as put there as usual and some great bizarre humor. 2010/08/08
- Starz is doing a great job with the Pillars of the Earth miniseries. Great pulpy fun. Can't believe it's also streaming on Netflix so soon! 2010/07/25
- Lord knows the music biz is usually painted wrong in film, but the new episode of Leverage is too ludicrous to be believed. Laughable. 2010/07/19
- It is really becoming clear that M Night Shymalan is really a big hack with a couple of fluke successes. 2010/07/19
