Vampires, sequins, & some new photos
Today I put the final touches on two new photos of Joel and I for Sex & Sound. From the beginning I knew that sequins were going to be a big part of the equation, but our vampire-like qualities took me a bit by surprise. Are you a little scared that Joel might try to…

USPS HD
So we put our life’s work into a cardboard box and shipped it off to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On the surface it seems to be questionable judgment, but in reality, not a bad call. 15 months into the recording of the Sex & Sound ep, a hard drive containing the completed tracking sessions is on its…
