Whats up dudes. I recorded the radio show/interview I did a few days back and have it now uploaded for your listening pleasure. I actually just realized when looking over this file that I was in that same station on the exact day last year talking about the same shit. Weird. Anywho, enjoy! (the songs are super clippy)

Got some live stuff coming up in Fort Collins.

First up, I’ll be playing some live songs from my forthcoming album and doing an interview about FOCOMX on 90.5 KCSU FM on March 31st at 2pm. If you aren’t in the area, you can always listen online.

Second, FOCOMX is happening again! I’m really excited as last year it was crazy fun. I’ll be playing at Luscious Nectar @ 9:15pm on Saturday April 10th.

Lastly, I am playing a super rad all day music festival on April 17th @ 5:30pm in Denver called Who’s Having Fun? Festival. This is a community building event with no drugs or alcohol meant to bring people together to have a lot of fun! Should be a really great time!

Specific details on all this stuff can be found on the upcoming shows page.

If you want to hear the new song splinters from my forthcoming album along with some other great tunes download this monster from the great folks at Circle Into Square! My next album Elephant Graveyard will be coming out on Circle Into Square in August!

CIS Compilation Vol. 1

In 2007 I got to see Sparklehorse live in Denver. It was the only show I’ve ever been to alone and was one of the greatest show experiences I have ever had. I still have never seen a more diverse audience at a show.  Sparklehorse has been at the top of my play list for many many years. The sad and beautiful lyrics of Mark Linkous have been with me through a lot of sad times in my own life and I have always felt a strong connection with his music. Yesterday I heard the news that Mark Linkous committed suicide. Besides talking to him briefly and getting an autograph at the show, I only knew him from his music. I strangely feel like I have lost an old friend. Here are some clips of the Denver show and a song that is now always going to make me incredibly sad.
