Here are some mp3 links to a live set we played right after 9/11 in Amsterdam. We were flown over by Maurice to be part of the Crossing Border Festival, performed a set of songs broadcast on VPRO and played this live set at Paradisio. Chris had a terrible cold and you can hear it in his voice. Chris, Brendan Skwire and Neil Cleary joined Zach and I between shows from the middle of an Essex Green tour.

BIG MUFF

I spent the afternoon repairing the ol' Big Muff. I spliced off the 9V attachment from the wah pedal, stripped the black and red plastic from the wires, twisted the ends together and taped them up with black electrical tape. Then i glued the extra rubber foot back on with super glue. It works again. Back from bock, the big muff is alive again. It was all scraped up and peeling so I painted it blue and white with some fast dry enamel.  It's missing a top knob (the distortion knob) but it still screams like cats in a bowl. I had forgotten that to get back to clean chords you need to depress the button with your foot a beat early, then let go. It swtiches back when you lift your foot off the button. If the tone knob is too far clockwise it's a thin, tinny sound. With the tone knob dialed to the left, it gets very grungy like the Melvins. This was always fun to plug the bass guitar into. Now if i could only get the wah pedal working...

Bove's Bread

Go Bove's?

I believe that it was last Wednesday that my wife, Anna, made a meal with a jar of spaghetti sauce from Bove's.  The sauce triggered a Proustian memory from my junior high school days growing up in Vermont.  As a kid, my friends and I would take the bus into Burlington to spend the day tromping between Earth Prime Comics, Upton's Arcade/Barrel of Fun and Bove's on Cherry Street.  Coincidentally, a couple days later, we found ourselves seated in that very same restaurant, tearing through a basket of Bove's bread.  The restaurant, the bread, the spaghetti, the service and the sauce were exactly the same as I remembered it growing up.  Amazing.  Some things never change.  Bove's is one of them.  If you're ever in the Champlain Valley, do yourself a favor and get a booth at Bove's.  video

Down South

Michael Barrett

Down South

This was the most fun I have ever had producing and recording a song all by myself.  It was at Stratford Projects in Brooklyn, just before I moved to Nashville.  I remember James W. Hindle was visiting from London, recording a record over at Marlborough Farms.  It was a mix of influences by Barry White, The Band's The Last Waltz, Dr. Dre and the ProTools vocal pitch shift plug-in.  Jeff Baron plays the little guitar lick samples on his old brown Fender strat.
