Farewell, 2008: I'll Miss You →
I don’t want to flood anyone’s dashboard, so I posted my year in pictures over at my blogspot.
In summary, 2008 personally rocked because of all these things:
- I made my first EP.
- I started playing shows all over NYC.
- I went on the Cayamo Cruise and met Brandi Carlile.
- Allison Weiss built a website for me.
- I went to SXSW, played a show, and fell in love with Austin, TX.

Rivers Cuomo covering Don’t Worry Baby with an a cappella group from Dartmouth College, the Dartmouth Aires, on his Stereogum Decomposed session. The video ends a little awkwardly, but at least they seem happy with the performance. It’s a fun version of the classic tune.

“i have to go make a video blog! don’t talk to me!”
– my brother, making fun of me, even though i never, ever said such a thing. video blog coming.
shopping is officially done
i braved the mall today to get some last-minute things. overall, i’m pretty happy with what i got this year for other people.
i’m a poor musician, so i don’t have much to spend, but i found some really great deals on etsy.com that i’m really excited about. also have a friend from my old job (at a record label) who has verizon as a client, so i scored my mom a free...
going to bed
so i can stop comparing myself to all the other kick ass musicians out there. anyone else ever been OCD/creepy enough to look at popular musician’s old websites on the wayback machine?
it’s fun, and either uplifting or depressing, depending.

finally home in indy :)
if you’re a novice guitar player/singer, and you’re not positive if you’re really that good or not, you really shouldn’t start playing the middle of a crowded airport full of cranky people who have all just had their flights delayed/cancelled.
when you’re sitting in the airport and you see one famous person, everyone starts to look famous. now i feel like i’m looking at matthew caws from nada surf, but i don’t know him well enough to be able to be 100% that’s who it is.
also, i never try and look good at the airport when i’m traveling. and then i see all these people who DO look good and i regret not...

Brooklyn Week 2008: Day Three
Was long. I left at about 9:30 a.m. (that’s early for me). Got home at 8:30 p.m.
Finished Called Your Bluff. Started a new song I haven’t debuted on the interweb yet called “I Don’t Blame You” - we’ll finish it tomorrow. And I’m stoked about it.
although I suppose I should be grateful it exists.

Heartbeats as percussion
Do we use the authentic sounding one, or something more palatable and musical but more electronic? There are a lot of choices.

*to-do list. almost done. nice little sunday, folks.
daily habits
i’d really like to start a few new daily habits. things to be done every. single. day.
1. meditation. i am not good at this. so far, i don’t even like it. but i’m buying into it.
2. vegetable juice. i bought a juicer and have been pretty good about starting every day with a cup….but it takes a lot of produce to make an 8 oz. cup. i’ll have to investigate how...
