SONG: Possum In My Christmas Tree by Justin J. Johnson
December 3
Why call this a demo? I’m not sure, I’m sure not going to be able to keep pace any better, or play any better. Regardless, here’s a cut from what could be a potential X-mas album…we’ll see! Possum in My Christmas Tree!

FRIDAY SHARE! Michael Price – A Tenderness
November 16
Seems like a Friday worthy of sharing others work. Erased Tapes might be my favorite label in the game right now, and with the soon to be released Nils Frahm Screws album, and this, beautiful work by Michael Price, it’s safe to say December will be aiiighhhttt. Check it!

A Boring Monologue About Guacamole Accompanied By Me Playing Guitar and Harmonica
November 8
Listen, you guys do what you want with your Wednesday evenings, but I’m going to use mine to crappily record a monologue while I play guitar and harmonica.
Jóhann Jóhannsson – Here they Used to Build Ships
September 21
Listen, I’m all jokes all the time…that is, until someone makes a beautiful piece of music to accompany a sparse landscape…then I’m serious business! Johann Johannsson is pretty much on repeat most of the time, and I was super fortunate to see him live in The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever, and you know what…bUahdfjkfhasdf…that was my brain exploding because it was beautiful. Strap up and strap in, let you begin, to watch/listen to this.
The Morning Pop Etc’s
May 3
Whoa dudes! As you all may know, I’m a professional album reviewer. What makes me professional? I don’t know, maybe my claim to be a professional! Back off already Internet! I’m a pro.
Early on in my professional career, I reviewed an album by a lovely band, “The Morning Benders” which you can review below.
Well apparently The Morning Benders are no more. Orr, they are more. They’re just more not The Morning Benders. They’re now Pop Etc.
Now, they didn’t ask me about the name change (which would have been the honorable thing to do), but I approve and I’ll tell you why.
Etc.
I love Etc. It can mean so many things! Technically their band name could be Pop Tart, Pop Goes The Weasel, Pop Bananas, Pop Lock n Drop, Pop Baby, Pop Babies, Pop Pop, Pop The Album From Nsync, the list could go on forever! Etc. is like the fancy man’s Pi. I love it! In any case, check out their new sound and Etc. video below!
