Happy holidays everyone! I am sitting here now in beautiful Menlo Park, California, spending the holidays with my family and appreciating all that a relaxing holiday season has to offer. Plans for the near future involve a lot of watching Battlestar Galactica, playing Final Fantasy: Dissidia, reading The Golden Thread and oh yeah, making some [...]
Having submitted over a hundred demos to record labels and eventually getting signed to Geomagnetic Records, I’ve learned the hard way how to get on a record label. Now the task must be performed again on behalf of my new group Chaos Control, as the market is different and the current label arrangement will probably [...]
Last night I was lucky enough to attend a screening of “It’s Complicated” featuring Maryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.

As a true psychedelic trance fan, I sometimes forget that there are other kinds of trance out there that haven’t given over to the pop sound with female vocals that is personified by Kaskade and Darude. Not to say it’s bad. Kaskade having recently been brought to Portland’s Whiskey Bar by the promotion group Red [...]
I am not one to normally blog about the weather, but I am going to make an exception this time. Having recently arrived back in Portland to snuggle in for the winter, I forget how frackin’ cold it gets! Looking at the temperatures on the web gives no real concept. We are talking 7 degrees [...]
