Lip-syncing “Cars and Parties” on the awesome Chicago cable-access show Chic-A-Go-Go… this episode first aired on 9/4/01, and was taped a week or two before that. My bandmates “playing” here (who might have, but didn’t necessarily play on the actual recording) are: Ryan Hembrey on bass; Rick Rizzo of Eleventh Dream Day on guitar; Mark Greenberg of the Coctails on vibraphonette; Bill Lowman of Bosco & Jorge on guitar; Adam Vida of U.S. Maple on drums; and Jim Becker of Califone on fiddle. Posted here with the kind permission of Jake and Mia from Roctober / Chic-A-Go-Go. The song is from my third album Wonder Wonder.

My pal Jenn Frank just blogged this little video she took of the Axiotron Modbook at Macworld 2008…

Watch the video for “Sugar Waltz” on YouTube… I sing, but I’m not in the video. But’s it’s a great video. :-)

Here’s a nicely done cover of one of my tunes, sung by my pal Edward Burch, with an outfit called the Kennett Brothers.  Check it out, they even did the barbershop thing at the end.  :-)
