Hello All,

I told you I’d be working on some more personal stuff over the coarse of the next few months. Well, we all know that tax day is not a good day in America, and for hard working producers. it sucks even more. Getting paid for music is not like getting paid at your job. Your company will automatically take money out to protect themselves. When you work for yourself it’s all up to you. Sometimes, it’s the choice between rent and…rent. So I have done a real good job to try to correct past issues I’ve had with those people, but no matter how hard you try, there is ALWAYS some else to pay for, or tax modifications, or ungodly interest fees. Well, because of my love for our Government, I wrote this song. I was feeling a little annoyed the day it happened to me (Yes this is a true story) so I was able to channel my Sid Vicious side. It’s raw, but that’s the point. Enjoy

P.S. Don’t audit me.

I don’t really see how they would cross over though. My personal stuff if dark, and a little deeper. CO2 doesn’t, really do deep . I actually don’t know how it’s going to turn out. There is always the strange parable of what your envision versus what it ACTUALLY sounds like. I can’t tell you how many time I have imagined something in my brain that came out sounding nothing like what I heard in the grey matter. Whether it’s due to lack of skill, or that strange instrument sound the can never be found, there is always something that make you compromise with yourself. Sometimes it’s acceptable, sometimes it’s deleted.

So over the next couple of months, I will be working on my personal project. A little darker, a little grungier, and a little more sing songy. Will there be any rap? Of course, but I can’t guarantee how much. I will also try to set up some video to go along with it. We’ll see what my time is like.

Will you come with me on my journey?

Is it me or were these the worst Grammy’s in years? Excluding the fact that the show is always boring, the performances, which are usually the only redeeming quality were just horrible.

Kanye West’s Stronger was overblown fluff. Sorry Kanye, I saw that performance before, when it was called Tron.

Brad Paisly, did he look like he hated standing on stage? No emotion whatsoever. His voice never left the lower register.

I like mash ups just as much as the next guy, but they weren’t thought out at all.

Beyonce and Tina Turner – Not impressed
Tina, here’s a tip, if you can’t walk in it, don’t perform in it.

Aretha Franklin and the Dude in the Cow Jacket -
Was that a bed sheet AND curtain set? What am I missing? What carreer advisor told you you should look like “lymon” from the Sprite commercial.

Kid Rock and the old gal – no comment

Oh and Kanye the Robot, have a little respect for the other Artists, they work just as hard as you. Don’t say this is all a dream and none of it matters in your performance, and turn around when you win the Grammy and say I’m the best and you guys should time your albums better. That’s why they played the “it’s time to get off” music.

The only performance worth watching was the Foo Fighters.

I am really happy about this.  I spent a great deal of time on the new site and I think it looks great.  We originally had the site designed entirely in flash but because we wanted more user interaction, it just made sense to move to a content management system, or CMS.  I can update and add stories on the fly but I can still retain all the flash objects for multimedia stuff.  Take a look and tell me what you think. 

One more thing, it works in Internet Explorer, for the most part, but it works SO much better in every other browser.

From the last show @ Aqua Lounge.  We had a good time @ Aqua.  Great sound, “Loungy” laid back atmosphere.  You can see more of the show here
