it might seem a little strange that i'm finally updating this page at a time i've been busy to the point where i don't have time to return phone calls. it's too late to call anyone now. i've had my hands full the past month or so and my eyes don't want to look at this computer anymore but i thought i'd post a quick i'm still alive note before the search and rescue squads descend on my roof. mainly i've been mixing adam warner's next release in my little upstairs studio. we're just tightening the screws at this point - but man, there are a lot of them.
and then in a couple days it's off to europe to do some shows and radio with royal wood. we're just a duo on this trip to dublin, milan, and the netherlands, until next time when hopefully the band can join us. and as soon as we get back we head into the studio to do some recording. i'm planning on taking a full day off sometime in april. i'm gonna wake up at 3 then watch the entire lord of the rings trilogy or maybe the arrested development dvd's that were lent to me a month ago. or perhaps i'll just sleep until it hurts then get up and write a novel. so many options.
some people have emailed mentioning that they heard me singing on the tv set over the past month. no, i'm not the juicy fruit guy again. but the CBC series MVP used a couple songs from dream at harmony motel in previous episodes. we'll see how long this canadian series can hang on for. it's about "the secret lives of hockey wives". i always wished someone would finally uncover the lives of the unreasonably rich and glorify it until i couldn't stop watching. apparently my prayers were heard.
on the music-of-my-own front... like i said, i've been otherwise occupied lately. but i am still working somewhat officially on another release. though what exactly it is seems to come in and out of focus quite regularly. luckily there has been some incentive to keep working at it regardless of how little sleep i get. my friend josh van tassel have been geeking out on sounds lately and even given each other regular assignments to keep ourselves creating. so far i've recorded my humidifier, the air outside my room, a single note on the piano, my 4-track playing silence. i think i may have a hit on my hands. josh has an entertaining website that he updates regularly demonstrating his own progress in sound composition.
strangely i've been looking forward to sitting in a confined airplane with nothing to do but watch movies or read. my bloody headphones better work this time.

Hello, Dean. I'm an Argentinian that lives in London since last September, who also owns a copy of 'Dream at Harmony Motel'. You were playing on February 2007 at a bar in Toronto and I was there with a group of guys from all around the world. We liked your music and I decided to buy your CD. The recommendation from two of the members of your group was 'Dream at ...'.
Who knows? Maybe I'll hear you again.
Good luck!
