jan 18, 2006 - I’m on the train headed north. I spent the extra $60 bucks to take first class . There’s two older guys sitting in front of me on my right. One has a super bowl ring on. I can’t make out the year. Its packed with diamonds and a red stone in the center.
This guy (who is actually facing me) keeps talking about some business proposal
with over 5 billion dollars in assets. Sounds cool, Right? In between talking to his friend , he keeps looking at me. Since I have no problem with eye contact, I look back. He’s somewhere in his fifties, well groomed and cared for. . Sort of a Connecticut daddy type.

I get up to go to the bathroom. He follows me. O.k. I know the deal. I’m amused. He says "hi" and asks me where I’m going. I tell him, “Cape Cod, for a day or two, then back home. “
We talk some more. He’s nice . He has a slight stutter which makes him seem even sweeter. I can tell he was a jock at some point. He lives in D.C. now. We smile. Although my intent is strictly ego boosting - we both know what the sub text is. He gives me his card and says "if you ever need investment advice give me a call."
I know he’s out of my league on that front, but since that's not what he means we are even..
I slip the card in to my pocket. Its funny the way the ego rises and falls on the actions of complete strangers. I’m addicted to the rush of affection like a monkey addicted to cocaine.
It dawns on me that biology trumps all; morality, ethics and even love. For that reason alone I know I will keep the card . Besides I might just need some investment advice.

jan, 16, 2006- Blowoff was a blast Saturday night. . Nick put together the visuals that included artwork by Michael Alago, Jim Adams, Pat and the original blowoff cards that Bob had designed. Its amazing to see what Blowoff has become and how many friends I have made because of it. Since I was a kid music and art has been the tie between me and my buddies. Blowoff makes the circle bigger and more sexy. Thanks.

jan 8, 2006 - Blowoff this Saturday at the 9:30 club. Me and Bob will be playing a live set as well as djing.

another great poster by Pat.

jan 7, 2006 ... Been listening to the 2 hour - 1970 John Lennon - Rolling Stone interview--podcast.
For Beatle fans its a glimpse into what Lennon was about- (on that day anyway). He articulates his view of what the Beatles were, as musicians , as men and as myth.

No secrets here.

A couple Pink Noise items:

Morel's Pink Noise remix of New Order's "Krafty" ( also includes remixes by Eric Kupper, and DJ Dan ) came in at number 8 on Billboard's 2005 top club play chart . The Vivian Green dance single -"Gotta Go Gotta Leave" (which included my mix) came in at number 8 on the Billboard year end dance singles sales chart as well. The remix I did for Vivian Green was among my personal favorites of last year. She is such a great singer and I was able to put the song in a classic soul space with just piano, bass and wah guitar. And some reverb...

Morel's Pink Noise remix of Ananda Projects "Shouldn't Have Left Me" is now available on Itunes.

jan 4, 2006....Another year down. Wow. Fast. Its hard to focus. A good year. The one thing I’ve noticed is my approach to everything has changed. My work is more fractured and about smaller moments. Less thematic and more about single events. But in a strange way this makes it more thematic. On the musical side my approach has become more loose. I am now truly obsessed with the dub mix. Sometimes words fuck up what you are trying to say anyway.

How far does it go? When I posted my FischerSpooner remix I was curious how far it would go.
While I’ve gotten quite a few emails about it I was glad to see this post as well.
Here’s the dub mix for you.

Everyone was sexy in my wet dream. Lets have a good year.

December 20, 2005 - My remix of the Veronicas' “4 Ever” is available at Itunes today.
