Lately, I’ve started to go to Tuesdays @ 9 which is this fun workshop series by the Naked Angels. They have writers and actors show up every week and the writers have the actors do some readings of stuff they’re working on. It’s fun!
They also have a musical guest. The [...]

Tuesdays @ 9
Song du Jour: “Little Ships”
Week #10 of Song du Jour! This week’s song is called “Little Ships” and it’s based on a conversation I had with Kristen. About waiting for your ship to come in, that it doesn’t need to be a big ship. That you’ll do fine with just some little ships.
Little Ships
I [...]
Song du Jour: “Evil Twin”
This is week #9 of Song du Jour. It’s called “Evil Twin”. Had to write this very quickly this afternoon to make the deadline, but here it is. It’s about… being an evil twin.
Evil Twin
If I wanted to change
I probably would
But maybe I like it all the same
And I’m up [...]
Song du Jour: You’ll Come Back Someday
Here’s the new one… Week #8 of Song du Jour: “You’ll Come Back Someday”. This was inspired by the train ride out to Los Angeles. No offense to people from Kansas!
You’ll Come Back Some Day
She’s gone
Decided not to wait for me
So the next train I could catch
Was the Southwest Chief
She’ll come [...]
Song du Jour: My Hands
This is week #7 of Song du Jour. It’s called “My Hands” and it’s about being a hand model and written for Ashly Covington who said to me, you should write a song about being a hand model. (She’s a hand model.) So I did. Enjoy! (Does anyone remember the [...]
Song du Jour: Not A Funny Valentine
Here’s week 6 of Song du Jour: “Not A Funny Valentine”. I was sort of influenced by Elvis Costello(my favorite!)’s love of the old song “My Funny Valentine”. So this one’s about the not funny valentine. When you’re Charlie Brown and you put out your shoebox and nobody puts anything–in especially the [...]
Song du Jour: Down Franklin
Song du Jour, Week #3! This one is called “Down Franklin”. It was inspired because Porter said I should write about a street in LA that hasn’t been put into a song before. As far as I know, it hasn’t been. But probably someone will alert me right away to this [...]
She Is Gone
I recorded another song this week but I wanted to sing harmony on it so I didn’t use it as the Song du Jour. So enjoy this “studio cut”! Hah. The best part about singing harmony is listening to yourself sing the harmony line without the main vocal. I don’t care [...]
Schadenfreude Show Tonight!
I’m doing this storytelling show tonight in LIC. People of Queens, I’m talking to you!
http://creeklic.com/event.php?id=842
Should be cool… I’ll play two songs and somehow connect this back to the theme of the night, “Science Fiction”. Oh, also the show is called Schadenfreude. So it’s one of those shows where you take joy in [...]
Song du Jour: The East Village Song
Here’s my latest song written for Song du Jour. It’s an ode to the East Village.
Lyrics:
I remember when James took me here or was it Chris Yeatts?
He said, “Cabby, take us down to Astor Place. “
Drop us off right there at St. Mark’s in front of Cooper Station
I’ve had a shitty week [...]
