Why the new record is called "Pete"
Last August a friend was treating me to lunch at Ichiban on 2nd Avenue, one of my favorite Nashville sushi venues. This was right around my birthday and I had just finished recording Popmonster which was one subject of conversation.
So the bill came, and it was pretty high... I mean this was lunch. So I said, "Let's split it." My friend said, "No way. It's your birthday." I was pretty insistent, and finally he said, "If you feel that bad about it why don't you just name a song after me on your next record." So I thought about that for a second and said, "Tell you what, I'm not going to name a song after you, I'm going to name my next record after you."
So it's been almost 10 months since that lunch and in about an hour, my friend Pete and I are meeting at Ichiban. He has no idea I'm about to release a new record, nor does he know I'm bringing him a copy to our lunch today...my treat of course.

New Project Update
I've just about finished with this upcoming project, which is an EP. I'm hesitant at this point to say the release date, because things always seem to take longer. Had to kind of kill the video docu...it was just too much to try and film everything...and it was boring! These pics are a few screen captures from the recording adventure.
Just putting the finishing touches on the tracks now, such as an extra harmony, or a shaker, or a bikelophone, or a bazantar.
The artwork hasn't been completed yet but I've got a concept going and a photographer pal who wants to shoot it so that'll happen in the coming weeks.
More news soon...
