Been working on a cool project I wanted to tell you about...

Hey guys...

Finally done recording my follow-up to "Pop Motel" - called "Sideshow Freak." It's going to be released soon, but in the meantime I've posted a couple of songs here as previews -- including the title track and "Change."

Please give them a listen and let me know what you think -- good, bad or indifferent! ;-)

Hope everyone's having a fab summer...just one weekend left. :::sigh:::

Cheers...

Just posted a new song on my profile -- my cover of The Posies "Burn And Shine," which appears on "Beautiful Escape: The Songs of the Posies Revisited," just released on Alan Heaton's Burning Sky Records. This is a pretty amazing 3-disc, 45-song power pop masterpiece -- you gotta check it out.

My version of "Burn and Shine" is quite a bit different than the original, but just LIKE the original, my version was mixed by none other than legendary producer Don Fleming (who produced The Posies original version on their "Frosting On The Beater" disc, as well as Teenage Fanclub, Sonic Youth, Alice Cooper, Pete Yorn, and more), and who also plays some blistering lead guitar and sings with me on the track...along with in the comparable R. Stevie Moore on piano.

Please give it a listen, and lemme know what you think!...

If you're a fan of smart, catchy, witty and unforgettable pop music (and who's not?), how can you NOT be a fan of Jellyfish? They released only two "official" CDs some years ago, but both CDs are pop classics. And today, the coolest tribute CD ever has been released...

"Sensory Lullabies: The Ultimate Tribute to Jellyfish" is now available from Burning Sky Records -- click here! - http://store01.prostores.com/burningskyrecords .

The two-disc set has 35 amazing tracks -- covering their "Bellybutton" and "Split Milk" CDs in their entirely, along with 13 rare and previously unreleased tracks, including my own cover of "I Don't Believe You" (which they had originally written for Ringo Starr, and appeared on one of his solo CDs).

Some covers are true to the originals, some covers put an interesting and different spin on things, and other covers are so different you'd barely recognize them...but they are all fresh and inventive. There's more info on their MySpace profile too -

Go check it out -- you won't be disappointed.
