I started putting up a "digital seven inch" every Monday starting last November, with the idea being that I would just continue to make the music that I want to make (which is what I have always done) and work toward making a new album and people could listen to it in real time as it was being made. The end result is this sprawling 2 hour, 38 song album. In addition to having a plentiful amount of agreeable pop songs it might have the most genre bending of any of my albums and is probably the hardest I have veered into straight up electronic music and psychedelia. As I was listening to it in it's entirety the other day it occurred to me that it might be the thoroughly crazy sounding record I have ever made. Thanks a bunch to  Bob Bucko Jr., Chuck Hoffman, Mark Shields, John Hopkins & Grace Locke Ward for playing on it. Thanks for listening to it, I hope you like it.

I contributed a song for the children's compilation album For Kids & By Kids.  It is a free album made for the local Iowa City community and put together by Kembrew McLeod & Lynne Nugent through the ICPL.
