lsr-103.jpg (8331 bytes)July 6th, 2009 - A lot of new things have been happening this year and it's always a pleasure to work with so many talented people who share my passion for music and it's subculture. blacktape.jpg (37058 bytes)I posted a web exclusive, stream of the ghost of electricity record LSR-103 over here on myspace. A formal CD will eventually hit the presses. It is official Black-Tape has graciously allowed me to take on the spot as vocalist for the hard hitting/heavy riffing quartet. We did our first gig together punk rock style, performing last month at MILK BAR. We are currently writing and recording and will be posting some show dates very soon. In the mean time don't expect Tall Shadows to slow the pace. We have been working with our current line up featuring bassist James Mattox coming up on a year, our performances are better than ever and our songlist keeps lsr-211.jpg (14279 bytes)growing. Catch us at Johnny Foley's in SF on August 1st. It seems that there just isn't enough time to do all the things that I want to do and that's why folks haven't seen me around all that much. You see it's Phil Void's fault. Finally! in 2009 Fleeting Trance released their "debut" CD containing a generous 17+ tracks from the legendary Oakland based outfit. Tracks include a variety of songs & incarnations of the band. As of today this CD can only be obtained bylsr-311.jpg (24263 bytes) personal request at infamous and/or obscure locations where the band most frequently performs. Go figure? Good record. LSR-211. I wanna shout-out to John Predny about his record "Dude in Distress" LSR-311. The record release party is happening July 17th at The cloud9.jpg (33488 bytes)Retox Lounge in SF and will feature me on bass and Jesse Grant on drums. The album will be available through the usual digital outlets and links will be posted as they become available. Get your free download of the CLOUD 9 MIXTAPE by the BOVO BOYS. Recorded, mixed and mastered here. Thanks to BOP Films for licensing my tune "Near Wandering" for use in their upcoming feature release "Dumping Lisa" coming to a theatre near you.

I recently activated a reverb nation profile, uploading a total of 30 tracks from 3 releases. It's always great to find a new and useful tool for independent music.

These tracks are available worldwide for purchase & download at the usual digital outlets.

The first 5 songs are previously unreleased soundtracks.

Enjoy!

Hey folks. How's it goin? Summer 2008. oh what a season....i've been busy... recently finished tracking my 3rd release as a singer/songwriter, the ghost of electricity is in final tweak mode. I recorded the 11 song disc with Tall Shadows/Fleeting Trance bandmates drummer Daren Wilkerson and guitarist Scott Robertson with a special appearence by Manny Bernal, who plays the trumpet and sings on Please Don't... i sang, played bass, acoustic and electric guitars, keys and piano... Scott did most of the harmonies and guitar parts. Check out Please Don't and Somehow Complicated posted on myspace.

In addition to the ghost of electricity record in 2008, AJM is producing the new PHIL VOID album "LIVING THE DREAM" out before christmas. Plus, I am proud to announce completion of JAMES COLLEY's 2nd record - Dive Bar Sing-a-Longs out soon on Last Stop.....Check out the video I edited for "TAKE ME HOME" - it has some shots from the studio when we did basic tracks mixed in with footage from an expressions college web cast.

TALL SHADOWS are preparing to come back on the scene and yet still, I enjoy the privilege of playing keyboards with FLEETING TRANCE ... but nothing makes me happier than to know I lived long enough to see this day! The very first PHIL VOID record delusions of the pampered is complete. The album has 12 songs and is currently available through cdbaby and the usual digital outlets...

Yep, I made a few videos to go along with the new release.

"No One's Listening" is a dramatic piece kinda twisted and manic with all the armageddon, back stabbing and all around paranoid imagery..

"Clever Alien" on the other hand is a complete butchary of the american classic "the day the earth stood still" i just couldn't help myself when i found the footage on youtube and in a few hours i had posted a rough draft before tweaking it to the piece posted here.

I have an mp3 player set-up so that you can listen to stuff when you are online. Click on the boombox and the player will open in a seperate window and you can listen to over 200 songs from the Last Stop Records discography while you are browsing...
