Not to retread the past, but the west coast is definitely hitting it's stride and I am once again pleased to be home for this my favorite season. I moved in recent months and as things have started to settle just looking around is now a constant state of discovery. Perhaps this is why I am always moving. A poor mans attempt to change his perception of the world. The question is, will changing what I look at really alter my perception or just my address? At the moment, with the sun burning bright, questions like these come and go at an alarming rate.
Thankfully. In all honesty this is issue might not be such a poetic one. I mean the rent was up.
Anyway, everyone get off your computers. The sun is out and it's crocodile mile time.
PS The Instant Karma record is out now. There are a lot of amazing John Lennon Covers on there, and purchasing this record is a way to directly donate to the Amnesty International aid efforts in the Darfur region of Africa. I highly recommend Regina Spektor's cover of "Real Love". She is incredible.
to THE FAN: he is writting a record for jacks mannequin, and in the very near future will be going into the studio to record it. you'll know when soco is coming back because he has said that he wanted to tour with them before a recording: you'll hear announcements about a tour.

I think i can relate to the sense of moving around to change your perceptions of the world. I'm always moving, and recently it was a wednesday maybe two weeks before i did it, that i decided my next move would be to austin, tx. It's my farthest move considering the others were just to different parts of Mass, or over to New York. But i have to say, it's quite an opener. I've been here for a little over two weeks, and i'm already coming to see the world and myself quite differently. And everyday i feel i learn something new about both. It's amazing, and quite the adventure.
Anywho, keep writing. I like it.
~Peace

Andrew: I recently discovered your music via a co-worker, and have been playing "Oh, California in Summer" as if it were my own personal national anthem. The entire "Everything in Transit" album feels like it was written for this particular time in my life: I'm somewhat out of your marketing demographic at 50 (just turned), but you've managed to create my "soundtrack." My 20 plus years in the corporate world ended abruptly this past December, and my marriage is also on its way out. Your music is helping me get PLAN B out of the mud, and I want to thank you. I understand from the news release that your health needs attention, and I look forward to seeing you work live (and well).
If you see a gray-beard amongst your devotees, it may be me, but I think you'll find more of us out there than you realize.
Again, thanks and please get well.
