Occupy Wall Street Protest Jams
There’s nothing like a good ol’ fashioned protest to out the Muse in everyone. The Occupy Wall Street movement is pretty impressive, growing from a mere 1,000 protesters in New York City to 15,000, plus thousands more in cities in over 25 different countries. Cardboard boxes, pepper spray, celebrity visits, union participation, arrests, Reddit support, [...]
Best Facebook Song EVER?
I finally finished the track and accompanying music video for the Mark Zuckerberg Facebook rap, Zuck, On Facebook. Check it out.

Need Your Feedback: “Zuck, On Facebook”
As I recently mentioned, I’ve got a DRAFT of Zuck, On Facebook, my Mark Zuckerberg nerdcore rap ditty. It was a fun project, and I don’t really know what to make of it. In a couple days, I’ll release a final version, plus a YOUTUBE VIDEO a few days after that. So, here it is: [...]
New Facebook Rap Almost Finished…
After The Social Network won a Golden Globe for best picture, I was inspired to write a rap (a first for me) from the point of view of Mark Zuckerberg, in response to the movie, the bad press, the law suits, etc etc. The poor 20-something billionaire deserves a voice, after all….so I thought I’d [...]

Lovin’ Shuffler.fm
I’m loving Shuffler.fm. If you haven’t tried it, try it…it’s pretty cool. The site lets you choose a music genre, then teleports you from music blog to music blog, playing songs within that genre, and acting as a pretty cool music discovery engine. But at the same time, it’s also benefiting new bands, as well [...]
Making of Video for Snow Patrol “Just Say Yes” Cover
The ”behind-the-scenes” video of my recording “Just Say Yes” is now live. As many of you know, I spent a few weeks recording an acoustic cover of Snow Patrol’s, “Just Say Yes”, the single from their new album Up to Now. I also recorded video of myself doing it for a YouTube experiment. See what you think…and [...]
New Song: “Just Say Yes” (Snow Patrol cover) & Music Video Experiment
My acoustic cover of the new single by Snow Patrol, “Just Say Yes“, went on sale yesterday (two weeks before Snow Patrol’s version will be in stores on Oct 30th). How’s that for an unsigned band moving faster than a record label? Digg It! Snow Patrol’s “Just Say Yes”, the single from their new album [...]
