If you want to help me buy land and build a house, or if you want some more paper and plastic in your life, you should consider purchasing some of my products: (apparently the "add to cart" buttons are not working on myspace; until I figure something else out, you can just buy things here: www.sweetnowrecords.com/store.)
"in the snow again," seven slow, sad, snowy pseudo-break-up songs:
$5
and I have this CD/zine called "No Living in the Living Room" which is mostly about the problems of civilization and mainstream environmentalism. The CD is me playing classical guitar and singing; the book is explanations of the songs, personal anecdotes, rants, and an appendix:
$7
what people are saying about No Living in the Living Room:
"RADICAL AND RIGHTEOUS"
"COMPLETELY LIFE-CHANGING"
"EVERYONE SHOULD BUY THIS"
and I have this other CD called "Water Lilies" that sounds pretty good I think, with me singing over different instruments including multiple guitars and drums, and sometimes a little keyboard. Songs about being inspired by every-day stuff like deer and clocks and paintings and birds and starbucks and roadkill:
$5
and... a break-up album. "In The Snow." Sometimes sad, sometimes cheesy, sometimes funny:
$5
and "Dancing on Nothing," the spiritual tribulations of a 19 year old:
$5

i'm working on an off-the-grid organic farm in north fork, ca! it's the exact middle of california. i live in the sierra nevadas! it's a lot of really awesome farmwork and hiking in these parts. are you still out and about and all over?
I posted a little album with some of the photographs from my birthday show. Feel free to take them. A lot of the photos ended up terrible because somebody messed around with the aperture settings on my camera, so sorry about the quality. Haha.
Amazing set last night, sorry if I turned it into "Supermarket Sweep" . I recognize great art when I see it, At those times If I let myself leave w/o the "goods" I feel I missed something (maybe a lot). Just a dedicated supporter for you dedicated entertainers!!! My Pleasure. Adam (PS-Awesome "Staff" @Fort Awesome)
Thanks for the add. Good to see there's a recorded version of "Tippy Toe", which is one of my favorite songs of yours (even put it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lg3hhbwDZI). Me and Carly were just dancing around to it.
thank you my friend! I have contemplated doing most of the other tracks acoustic as well and adding those to the tracklist so you'd get both versions. what do you think of that?
are you in chicago?!! are you all done with the woods? i called you one night to ask for cooking help but forgot that you were so far away from cellphone land.
if you are in chicago that is ANOTHER reason i should go there. i am thinking about it.
