The Two Towers has arrived, so it’s time to take a long, good suckle from the glass teat.

Everything else
I just happened across some photos of the band performing at Borders in Baileys Crossroads a few months ago. Enjoy!
The show last night at Jammin’ Java in Vienna was great, and we had a nice supporting act in Anousheh Khalili, a lovely and talented young singer/songwriter from my neck of the woods (q.v. “The Boonies”). Turns out her parents live about spitting distance from my house, so I’m sure …
My wife and I celebrated our eighth wedding anniversary on Wednesday, and got a (rare) grown-ups’ night out on the town, courtesy of Grandma (thanks Mom!). We went to see Matrix Revolutions and then to a nice dinner. The movie was decent, although not up to the instant-classic level of …
Did I mention that we are performing on Tuesday Nov. 11 at Jammin’ Java? NO? Well, isn’t that the darndest… at least now you know. Come out and give up some love. You’ll hear a few surprises, including new takes on some of our album cuts. And of course we’ll …

We watched a great movie on DVD last night, Danny Boyle’s horror thriller 28 Days Later. Normally when people say something is a “scary movie,” my brain automatically inserts those little quote marks as they’re talking. The Ring was no scarier than an average episode of the Teletubbies, for instance. …
Elliott Smith – 1969-2003 – R.I.P. What can I say? The music world has lost an incomparable songwriter, who drew on his own personal struggles to write dark but wry reflections on relationships, and particularly the difficulties involved therein. While they may not have been strictly confessional, his songs were …
