I just wrote at 2:40 (something) AM this morning a new song called, ‘I Ain’t Got Time To Lose’. Remember that. Learning about Seneca’s philosophy on the shortness of life and the value of time, has lit another fire in me. And this song is about all that. I don’t have much time to lose. …

With a career that has seen her as an acclaimed Japanese electronic artist and producer, a trailblazing female drum’n’bass DJ (signed to Haruomi Hosono’s personal label), a collaborator with the likes of Riz MC (Riz Ahmed) and Mick Karn (JAPAN), and having her own residency at the Southbank, it’s safe to say that Mieko Shimizu is sui generis. Upcoming single Snake Of Summer (out now), takes …

This crew pulled something off in television that was straight up out of the Golden Age. The Original Jazz Cabbage ‘s second gig was me showing them songs I wrote AFTER our rehearsal the night before, on the set of Band in Seattle ‘s 4th Christmas Special.

Things I didn’t know I needed this morning. My friend from college, the MC Kady M. Kane just popped up in my feed as the star of a film heading to film festivals right now. He was always proudly repping his Native American heritage and his experiences coming up in a Reservation. Now he’s in a movie …
Hey there fellow singers and songwriters. I just sent Eva Walker the ‘Slowjam for Christmas’ song I recorded for Band in Seattle‘s first Christmas Special with Caine Coldnote and Stephanie Walbon and friends. She is requesting folks send her Holiday songs for consideration on her KEXP program. I sent mine. You should too. Eva says, “Early request (so there’s time to record)! …
One of my theme songs, since it was recorded. I don’t identify with the drug addiction aspects, of course, but I certainly can relate with the traits that can get one there… and with the consequences. I’ve always been “all in” with everything – work projects, athletics (back in the day), adventures, writing, sex, love, …

Brooklyn-based indie chanteuse Madelin exudes intrepid pop realness. Her newest single/video, “Girl I Never Was,” continues this tradition, boasting a taut narrative on total self-acceptance in the face of an inherently chauvinistic society. The track was conceived after Madelin discovered her bi-sexuality and illustrates this awakening without coming off as heavy handed. In fact, for such …

Brian Schmetzer can be so unassuming and professorial at times, it seems hard to believe he is head coach of a professional soccer team. Pushing his glasses up to the bridge of his nose, he tosses respectful bouquets at opposing coaches and players before and after games. Could this really be the shepherd of a …
Minnesota-native Shreya Preeti shares with you the video for her new track, “Wannabe.” The song holds honest emotions about existing in a time where the present is fleeting and holding someone’s attention is more difficult than ever. “Wannabe” cuts right to the point, as can be heard in the hitting last line of the chorus: “I don’t …

This post combines two subjects that I have previously written about: the illegal, illogical and infamous 2003 invasion of Iraq and rock and roll. In late September 2019, Jacques Chirac and Joseph Wilson died one day apart. The former French president led international opposition to the “War on Terror.” He argued that toppling Saddam Hussein …

On January 7, 2017 the Los Angeles Times published a piece about Conor Oberst (aka Bright Eyes) comparing his 2005 Album I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning written out of the wreckage of his (and others) failed attempt to have John Kerry elected president to his then current record Ruminations. It compares the first record album that speaks of disappointment, despair—dark thoughts of hope eclipsed by a diminished expectations …
