before i go

i'll be out of town this week, so won't be able to upload a podcast this wednesday. in lieu, i'm happy to present a special-edition sunday night episode! :) it's just me talking a little bit more about love and idealism, and the feeling of knowing that there's still a lot more work to do (on my end, anyway). alongside, i'm honored to present a few more brand new songs by the cobalt season. if you haven't already picked up their new cd "fragile iconoclast," i hope you'll click the links...

realizing it

this week's podcast is pretty simple - just me thinking out loud about where things are these days, trying to remember the important things, and keep trying and hoping and listening. i wanna send out xtra special thanks to ryan sharp and the cobalt season for sharing their brand new cd "fragile iconoclast" with us. i hope you'll visit them, and check out what they're up to...

also hope you'll check out eric hoffer and his book the true believer.

hope yr week is well,

danny scherr - part two

i just uploaded part two of my interview with danny scherr, and hope you can take a listen. as you heard last week, danny has a lot to say, and has written some absolutely beautiful songs. he plays more for us tonight - including one of my all-time favorite's - "you can go on without me." the interview continues where we left off last week, and we get to hear about danny's experiences moving to san francisco in the mid-90's, accidentally meeting elliott smith, and recording his cd richmond special. it's a fun hour! i'm really honored to share it with you (and thankful to danny for his openness). i hope you'll check it out... :)
