After singing and playing keyboards in Roots of Rebellion, I began serious work on my solo material, an alternative-pop-rock blend that borrows elements from the likes of Kenna, Thom Yorke, and Maroon 5. I'm almost finished with about an album's worth of instrumental tracks. Vocals will be the next step. To hear the sounds of progress, please visit http://maybebomb.com .
yo masta P, I had the urge to rock out to your wonderment and it has been glorious. I got about 40 tracks of yours now, and I can put them on shuffle and enjoy them as I work! The stuff is so good now. I hope you're still considering playing live!
I am booking a show in New York City in November and I am interested in putting your band in the show. Please email me back with the telephone number (with area code) of who to contact in your band.

hey john! schools almost out.. you know what that means? we've got to get together soon! on a side note, i have some extra nin tickets if you know anyone who is interested. one is for GA, the other three are seats on the floor.
i'm on the floor cause i'm old school like that. i moved back to wayne a few months ago, we should get together for drinks sometime and chat. i haven't seen you in forever (whenever the last roots show was?) i'm sure we both have stories to tell.
btw man, I dig the new direction. Your new stuff is veryyy different from what I think the past held. Club beats man, thats cool, I think your transitions have improved a hell of a lot!! I noticed that in all 3 i listened to so far (top 3). I know when i take a new musical direction, its because of an influence. Has someone/band come to the surface to lead you this way?
yo man, i'm gonna be home this weekend (4/12,4/13) are you available for some music making? The semester is almost over here, i got a month left. I'm really feeling working on some stuff with you if you're down. How you been? Hope all the life things are goin as they should man.
hey mr. penola! i haven't heard ghosts yet because i also tried to download it but the files were corrupt. i did pre-order the album in the old fashion cd format and am waiting for it to come in the mail. i heard a few tracks and you are right, you can't start and stop it. thanks for the info about the show but i'm sure you know that this super-fan is in the know! i am soooo excited to see them do the year zero shit live. it's a whole new era of NIN for us old school nails kids who had to grow up :sigh: i better see you at the show son! miss you very much and our mindless babbling about music. stay close...
you are going places, john. i love the new direction you have taken. what i love most about your work is how you always manage to set yourself apart from others by transcending genres. keep in touch bud!
