Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted to this blog, so I’m just going to jump right in. I have quite a few more songs in the works, but since they’re not ready to be posted, I’m not going to talk about them yet.
So, what’s new? Last weekend, we went to an opening at the Stairwell Gallery that featured some pretty classic examples of what makes Providence art great. My favorite artists were Brooke Budner and Audra Wolowiec.
Now they’ve got some sort of new show featuring lots of animal skulls. You can see a whole mess of photos here. I did some research on the two artists whose work I put above. Audra Wolowiec seems to be affiliated with RISD.
What else? Hmm. I just discovered some great RSS picture feeds. One of the ones I like is Lucky Dragons‘ flickr page (and associated feed). Check it out here. Also the “Photos from Tiny Showcase’s contacts” feed is great although the frequency of posts is a little daunting.

Okay, I think that’s about it for this week.

Andy Dixon
I’ll be traveling to Victoria and Vancouver this week. As I often do before I travel, I’ve been researching things to do when I’m there. I found Andy Dixon (of Vancouver, I think). I really like his paintings:
Also been listening to vincat and My friend Wallis (this really sounds like the old-school electronic music I used to make).

Update: Dec 15, 2006
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted, and I thought you were all due for an update. It’s been so long, in fact, that all of the songs on this site have changed since the last time I posted. Yesterday night I posted a song called “The Life We Lead” and, sometime last week, I posted two new songs: “Searching” and “Neon Child.” Other than that? Oh, we went to the record sale last sunday, I picked myself up a copy of T. Rex’s “Beard of Stars.” I’ve never seen an original copy of that, so I was quite excited to find it. And what else? Some Adam Ant, some Guns’n’Roses, that Ian McColloch record that Steve (from the 8mm Fuzz) used to like so much. Quite a successful day of shopping, all told.

Jeff Toste / Mahi Mahi / Cathy Cathodic / Nicky Click
Last night, we went to a benefit for Jeff Toste, our local green party candidate. Mahi Mahi played. The opening acts were Cathy Cathodic and Nicky Click. Nicky was great. I’d never seen her before: fun and inspiring.
