The greatest guitar solo ever is by Eddie Hazel on “Maggot Brain” sure but runner up gotta be Robert Fripp on Eno’s “Baby’s on Fire”. Walked into a room with it playing loud today and just listened in awe.

My Pop passed on today. The first guitar I ever heard was him on his ‘61 fender jazzmaster which can be heard on every record I’ve made. 🎸💫

Had a summer job cleaning dorms when I was 22. Someone left a random CD with no jewel case. It was Ege Bamyasi by CAN. Took it home and put it on. Cracked my young mind wide open. Hats off Damo Suzuki 🎤❤️💫

I blame the new sonic youth release for pushing me into a full blown 90s rock headspace. Dino Jr, Fugazi, Pavement, Built to Spill, Breeders, even jamming Nirvana lately.

I released a record this year. It might not make the year end lists, but very well may be considered a classic in 20 yrs. Time is weird that way. I put my whole ❤️ into it. Anything less would not suffice. Thanks to all who took it for a spin. More to come in the new year!

When I was 12 my Dad got me the Neil Young songbook for guitar. He’s been one of my guiding lights since the beginning. Always felt cosmically correct that we share a birthday.

SKYWRITING made the AD list!!! Honored as always to be among such fine company. “Television, but country” might be my genre.
Looking back to look ahead. It’s our Year In Review 2022. As always, our list is unranked and unruly. Let it blurb.

Gutted to hear about Marc Orleans. Guy lived music every day. Have fond road memories with him and the Helix in 2011. Whenever I had a bad night he always made a point to say he loved it. Much love to all in his orbit.

In other news my debut album came out 15 years ago today. I never set out to be a singer/songwriter. Gah! What an awful term. I guess I fell into it sideways and kept it up to amuse myself and others. Thanks for bearing with me as I continue to learn the ropes!

Peter Laughner is a dude I’ve always kept close to the chest. Almost like a secret. So sweet all this stuff is being released now. He’s written some of my favorite songs
Since
@PeterLaughner
's death in 1977, the Rocket From the Tombs/Pere Ubu member has been a spectral presence in the underground, more heard of than heard. A five-disc collection from Smog Veil Records, simply titled “Peter Laughner,” should change that.

Peter Green has always been my kind of guitar hero. Incredible tone, economy of notes and a slave to melody. One of the absolute best to do it. Dude had a beautiful voice too. Rest In Peace

Great group on this Shahzad Ismaily on bass/synth, Jeremy Gustin on drums, my vague plot guitar compadre Uriah Theriault and me on piano/wurly. Cut on the fly in Shahzad’s studio. No rehearsals. All feeling. ❤️
