I'm a musician, a producer, an engineer and composer of musical type things.
Some people/bands I've worked with: Scott Weiland Solo Band, Velvet Revolver, Stone Temple Pilots, Sheryl Crow, The Actual, King Straggler, Camp Freddy, Crystal Method, Campfire Girls, Kevin Max, John Taylor...check my blog for a full list.
The business of music sucks. But music is the best.
With that said I probably can't get your band signed, but I can make you a record that sounds great. I'm affordably priced and I won't charge you to hang out with my dogs.
Ever have trouble telling your Wah Wah Pedal and Chihuahua apart? This will help...
Who I'd like to meet: People who need to make records. Specifically people who need to make records and have a budget. Funny people. Smart people. People who don't want anything from me. Anyone with enough juice to get me a CCW permit in California. Other engineer/producers. People who like chihuahuas and boxers. Jewelers.

Feels like it's been awhile since I stopped by to say hello.
Are you just about all moved in and comfortable in your new home? Hope so! Moving sucks! That's coming from someone that was an army brat and that should be used to it! Lol Are the doggies adjusting to their new home and surroundings pretty well?
So, what you been working on lately?
Would be really cool to hear back from you. Take care Douglas! :)
I went and saw stp last night. The bass player for the opening band tried his hardest to look like you. He couldn't pull it off though. By the way....moshing with sandals on sucks :(
Been a while since I wrote you on here. I seem to hassle you on FB these days as Pixie Dust hahaha!
Hope the move went well. It always sucks moving.
I must tell you something. And it is NO WAY meant to disrespect anyone or band. But being the self proclaimed connoisseur of seeing Houdini perform so many times & in 3 different bands... I realized the other night in the middle of the STP show that I prefer to see the SWB.... No Im not blowing smoke up your ass. The whole vibe is better if you happen to be in the audience & I have to say I REALLY LOVE to hear those solo tunes live!! And you guys gel so well & groove on stage.
Imagine that?? It surprised me, but then really, it didn't. I am (and you know this) of course first & foremost a "SW fan" & just follow where ever he chooses to be at any given time. But if I could chose another show. It'd be a SWB show as top choice.
I don't want any STP fans sending me hate messages now, cuz I love them too. And Im THRILLED there will be a new cd in my hot little hand in the near future!! I just really enjoy seeing the SWB more these days.
So thought I'd share with you that I missed seeing you guys up onstage the other night. It felt weird to be on "your side of the stage" & you weren't there. I was really spoiled there for a good stretch of time... Thanks for all the good times & wonderful memories. I will carry them with me always.
Hey Doug, how ya been dude?? You prolly don't remember me, but we shared some laughs after the gig at lovely Sayreville, New Jersey this past January....
Anyway I've been wondering how you and Scott got the idea or if you were approached to recreate "But Not Tonight"... it was done perfectly and on the dumbest movie ever...haha How did you guys approach recreating that song???
Well I hope everythings goin good man and I look forward to antoher SWB tour!!! You guys really came together as a band as the shows progressed and you guys are really onto somethin....Take it easy dude!
so i watched the fuzzy bunnies...then a half an hour later a lost chihuahua walks up to me outside. coincidence? idk but it had tags and i called the owner. reggie is back in his home
I was thinking, since you keep promoting your videos...Would you mind if I posted a bulletin on my myspace? Might get you a few more views??? Anyway, just thought I could help out.
