It has been a few weeks or so since i have come back to my blog. I have been doing a bunch of song writing which I am very happy about. Sometimes it’s like pulling teeth for me but most of the time it flows like a river into a great ocean.

Inspiration comes from personal events and the environment that I choose to place myself in. So a few of the new songs are subconscious thoughts and feelings that lie in my alter ego, and are more or less mind driven.

The difference between these new songs and my older material is that I have been taking more time to craft each song into it’s own world, and making sure that each part of the song (Music & Lyric) make sense. So digging deep inside of myself, and “Pulling out Teeth” is something I have been finding myself do with these new songs, and i like the ideas and themes that are coming out.

I am going to keep this one short. But i have posted a couple of links to some Scratch Demo’s i did of a couple of the songs i really like. So check them out leave me some comments on what you think?

Don’t put your music with I-Tunes / online distributors is the lesson I have learned in the last 4 months.

It makes no sense to me that artists only receive 10c – 70c for the hard work they put into their music, and then they only receive their info (sales data) 45 days after the month and then another 45 days until you receive any money.

Anyways after being gung ho on the whole idea of my new single “Beauty Dream” being on  I-Tunes. I have decided that I-Tunes sux!. They steal artists money!. Especially unsigned artists. I-Tunes just another piece of corporate machinery. So now all my sales will go through my web site which allows me to have more control of my product, sales and music.

It has been super hot in Scottsdale/Phoenix!. The desert rained the other day which was inspiring.

I have been writing some new material with a very new sound and vibe. I like these songs a lot and one or two I might demo and throw up online for feedback so stay tuned.

Have a beautiful day.

As far as my music goes,  it goes regardless of where I am.

My first gig was July 18th at Mardi Gras in Scottsdale. It was rated best live venue in 2006. It was a great time and I thank all my fans who showed. Check out the video of my acoustic version of my single “Beauty Dream”
