Happy New Year! Wishing everyone a very peaceful, productive and hugely amazing 2012! I can’t imagine all the bullshit we’re gonna have to endure this election year…sooo…to help get us thru these muddied waters, i’ve decided to offer up a little gem from the past – 40 Watt Domain. If you’ve never heard it...
Track Of The Month: July
Flats Spell by blue-eyed son It’s already the 15th and i’m just publishing this now. Whoa. What can i say? The last few weeks have taken their toll. I guess i could chalk this up to laziness, schedules, old age or whateva but it still boils down to me not getting my shit together until...
Track of the Month: June
The Track of the month: June is a cover of the old flapper song, “Tonight You Belong To Me”. Yes, I know that Eddie Vedder just released an album of ukulele songs and covered this same song….and, I hope he digs the fact that me and my incredibly talented accomplice, Renata Youngblood (www.renatayoungblood.com) did this...
Track of The Month: May
Sunburn by blue-eyed son This song was released in Japan in 2005. Since I’ve always attributed it’s inspiration to my boy, Jack, I thought it was appropriate that he got to show his big nose. Happy May! -A.
Upside Down
Here’s a short film by Liron Shokty that used the Bruce Haack cover song, “Upside Down”. We recorded the song for the Dimension Mix album and had a great time doing it. I hope you enjoy!
Track of the Month: April

Triangle of Life theory (earthquake survival tips)
My friend and photographer Simon Davidson (www.simondavidson.com.au) sent me this excerpt from Doug Copp’s theory, Triangle of Life. With the recent tragedy in Japan, I hope that these tips are never needed but still prove good to know. There’s a lot of controversy surrounding Copp’s theory but it seems to make a lot of sense...
Track of the Month (March)
This track was produced with my friend, Doug Boehm. Look him up. He’s one bad-ass dood. Also playing are Brendan Etter, Rhys Jones and David Suttor. Self Fulfilling Prophecy by blue-eyed son
Track of the Month
I’ve been trying to organize new recording sessions and working with new people. Makes me reflect on the road behind me and the awesomenimity of this musical life. Where Have I Been? by blue-eyed son
songwriting mind fuck
Lately, I ask myself, do I like that chorus rhyming scheme? I change it and re-record. Do I like the new melody? The old arrangement was kinda nice. Maybe I should try the new vocals with the old arrangement? But the scratch vocals still suck. or is it my pronunciation? hey, maybe that is where...
