Summer Begins

A lot has happened since my last desperate post. I do appreciate the support from all of you folks, I was surprised at how many comments I got. All very kind and thoughtful words, and it did make me feel better. It’s easy to lose sight when you’re so heavily embedded in it. For those who were interested, school turned out just fine. Let’s be shameful about it!

College Algebra: C

Intro To Audio: B -

Production I: B+ (Are you fucking kidding me!? I destroyed that class…)

Arabic I: B+ (Are you fucking kidding me!? I failed every test…)

So there are my grades. Funny how that worked out! I’m really glad it went as well as it did considering how truly rocky it was in the midst of all of it. Now that summer is here, there’s going to be some shows but hopefully working on more tracks. I’m in the process of working on a remix for one of the bands from my home town called “The Glide”. I’ll post that once I’m finished with it… the song itself, “Ashes”, has a pretty profound meaning to Darius the lead singer… and if it means what I think it does, it’s profound to me as well.

Since my last post I had a trip to Las Vegas with my new girlfriend and her friends. Holy crap that was a blast. I won’t go too much into that, but I’ll just say I wish I was still there and with the same people.

So anyway. If you look me up on Vimeo.com you’ll find a lot of what I’ve been used in lately. I was astonished to find all of it today… sometimes I’ll search for myself to get an indication as to the traffic I see (as that’s really the payment when you’re a CC artist) and I was pleasently surprised. You’ll also find a fantastic music video done by Harald Walker of one of the deeper album cuts off “The Scientific Method: Vol. 2″ called “Trip Home”.

Oh yeah. Here it is.

This might be the best video so far, but Bruno’s work on “Dream Sequence” still blows me away.

Let me take a moment to tell you how incredibly honored I am that anyone puts in the time and energy into making videos of these tracks:

I am incredibly honored that anyone puts in the time and energy into make videos for these tracks. There. It’s been said. I never thought in a million years that I would ever make it even this far or that anyone would value what I do enough to inspire them. Having been connected with the world the way I have over the last year, thanks to my manager Dan Costalis, I’ve gotten results and made connections that will permanently affect the outcome of my pursuit to… well… “make it”. That anyone even reads this blog just melts my heart completely, and I thank you personally as you read this.

Playing shows has been good too. We’ve played… man… since that Reggie’s post? Braydon and I have done 4 shows… Oasis Cafe (total joke), The Cobra Lounge, Rednofive, and North Beach back home. The last three went really well. Rednofive was a result of playing at Reggie’s. The right guy happened to be there at the right time and we got to play for Hairborn Fashion’s Hair Wars victory party. Dave Ragona, thank you. Great fuckin’ guy. We then opened for The Glide at Cobra Lounge, Fantastic Mammals at Oasis Cafe and Bad With Names at North Beach. All great bands, all great guys. We’ve been pretty lucky with the groups we’ve been playing with.

Anyway, I’ll cut this off here I suppose. Things are going pretty well for now… licensing deals left and right and yet ANOTHER music video on it’s way from France… I’m not sure how long it will take, but hopefully French Guy Lucas will hook it up. I’ll keep you folks updated, but I’ll tell you now it’s for “Plastic & Flashing Lights” and it looks and sounds like it’s going to be absolutely bad ass.

Thanks for reading. All of you out there are a huge reason as to why I stick to what I do in here.
