Jason: How's it going in Tunesmithville? Thought you might find my accidental self-portrait amuisng. The double chin is fierce! The stubble strictly film noir.

Hi, how are you. Yesterday I added a solo "live" recording of me performing a great from the Bacharach/David songbook, "(Do You Know the Way to) San Jose?". Me and an acoustic guitar and few bum notes. Have a listen.

El Monster! Please have a listen to my new song, “Consideration” in the mighty MySpace player. It features me and that perfect percussive palooka, Anthony Allen of Washington, D.C. Not a real mix, but pretty much finished. It will appear on my next album, Smellicopter, in 2010/2011.
Please “subscribe” to me if you haven’t already. You need to be in the loop, right?

Jason: Still digging your sounds, mon. Here's the word from my end, though. I've just now released my latest album, previously available only as a download on compact disc. Fifteen tracks of pop glory. Available directly from me.
