Here's a list of some of the recordings I have played on throughout the years. Where available, I have links to Amazon for you to check them out. Others are less available, having been small releases. But you never know, maybe you could find them on eBay or something. This is by no means a … Continue reading Discography
Hard to believe that it's been 10 years... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn6OCb6MsAg This was a long time in the making. Brent showed me the basic song idea for "How Long's It Been" in early 2007. Once the arrangement was hammered out, we recorded the basic tracks in October at the Blasting Room, along with the rest of what became … Continue reading How Long’s It Been? Oh, about 10 years…

It's definitely harder to put something together from someone else's shots but I think it turned out pretty … Continue reading Video Project: Haste

A little about my top artists of last year: Foo Fighters - Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge fan of this band. 2017 saw the daring Concrete and Gold album, where they got pretty … Continue reading My Spotify 2017 Stats
It's been a WHILE since I posted on here. Going to be better about that, I promise! Recently I had a comment from Joe asking me if I knew Jeff. I am assuming he meant Jeff Rouse, and going with that assumption, I decided to revisit this blog and a band I played in with … Continue reading Rhino Humpers “Never Seen It All”
Seems like every website out there does a Top Albums end of the year type deal...it's been a long time since I did one. 2013 was a pretty good year for music. I didn't quite make it to 10 albums that I really dug this year, but then I only bought 15 new ones this … Continue reading My favorite albums of 2013
