12/20/05: I spent a few days in the studio with Mike Andrews engineering some of his work for the upcoming movie "The TV Set" starring Sigourney Weaver and David Ducovny. An interesting experience with a very creative guy.

3/21/05: SXSW 2005: Biirdie played 2 amazing sets at the festival landing them a deal to release the new EP with the addition of a few more songs to be recorded. Other bands that I saw and liked included Bloc Party, Phoenix, Saturday Looks Good to Me and Dogs Die in Hot Cars. Shows that I wish I saw include The Futureheads, M.I.A. and Kaiser Chiefs. But you just can't catch everything...

2/26/05: In more radio news, The Exies' song "Ugly" is #11 on the modern rock radio charts, and Biirdie is starting to get more spins around the country including L.A.'s 103.1 playing three of their songs in a row one night!

2/26/05: The debut album by Days Away called "Mapping an Invisible World" will be released by the Fueled by Ramen label on May 10th. For fans of experimental emo-punk music...

1/1/05: I've been asked by Larry Crane of TapeOp Magazine to moderate a panel on "Mixing in the Box" at this years TapeOp Conference. It'll be held in New Orleans June 10-12 and should be a total blast as well as interesting for the geeked out producer/engineer in all of us. For more information, check out www.tapeopcon.com.

12/16/04: Biirdie and I finished up some more sessions for a new EP to come out next year. It was great how the production and concept took on a life of its own after a little prodding from me and Jared. It turned into an all-out live session/acoustic band vibe, which is a great change from the more studio-oriented approach of the first album, Morning Kills the Dark. Check this one out in '05.

11/20/04: Fall Out Boy is on deck at Ocean Studios doing their first major label album with producer Neal Avron and myself. After selling 100,000 copies of their last indie album, these guys are poised to do big things next year. For fans of the new pop-punk/emo sound. www.falloutboyrock.com

9/9/04: We've finished all the tracking for Monique DeBose's new album. She's got a great line-up of mixers for the project, and this record should be out soon. Her new website is at www.moniquedebose.com.
