so i tried out a bunch of the songs you guys requested but they just didn’t seem to fit me. it felt too forced or something. i think some of you even stumbled onto my attempt at covering a bunch of the rap/r&b songs in one. i wasn’t really that happy with it. anyways, i decided to do a cover of a little-known song called “when i write the book”. enjoy! and keep requesting; maybe something will feel right…

we’re not orphans - gatsbys american dream

i called bobby to have him teach me the song, but he could only talk for a minute so i sort of did my own little rendition.

i was at caseys last night recording drums with bobby. apparently i play really hard. i apparently also have delicate hands cuz they got mutilated. see below.

i had a long/fun/random/drunk weekend. i got to see a lot of people i hadn’t seen in a long time. i tried to take a lot of pictures but i kept forgetting i had my camera. next time there’ll be more! check em all out after the jump! (more…)

this commercial is so sick.

good to see her branching out a bit musically, even if it’s down the already-traveled stefani street.  the video is entertaining nonetheless.  thoughts?

so i was turned on to the amazingness that is SHAKEFACE.  for anyone not in the know, you violently thrash your face back and forth while someone takes a picture.  hilarious results ensue [as you can see above].  so i decided it would be fun to see some of YOUR shakefaces.  show me what ya got!  the best face-shaker will win a prize.  haven’t decided what yet.  i included some of my favorites of my friends below. you got some competition.

LEAVE YOUR PICS IN THE REPLIES! start your shakin’!

anyone coming to see us in portland or seattle?  come bug me and say hi!

how do you fit SEVEN consecutive chromatic notes into one seamless, beautiful melody line? watch the brilliance ensue.
