New Tickets & Music Launched!

I’m pretty stoked to finally roll out the soft-(re)launch of Tickets and Music. I wanted to create a way for people to get access to the best deals for a given show from any location. I don’t think searching the 3rd party brokers is always the best way to go, sometimes they have the only deal and sometimes they don’t.

My new group/project did the music for this (we don’t have a name yet, thinking about Lake Fire). Shot by my talented friend Ric Serena The work the artist featured here is just incredible. Really shows how far you can stretch the art of linoleum cuts.

Its nice when 3 separate art forms can come together beautifully into one.

Simplicity’s Sake

The older I get the more I look for simplicity. That’s true for music, cooking, code writing, designing, you name it. Spaces and blanks seems to resonate and calm me. I’m forever looking at my apartment and wanting to throw everything out or put everything into a basement and pull out things one by one based on if I deem them worthy to remain part of my life.

So I love it when I see/hear/taste things that share the same aesthetic. And from time to time I’ll be posting them here. The current thing is this song ‘Three’ by Gregor Samsa. Its a simple keyboard line with a vibraphone hit and a super-hushed vocal. And its amazing. Like a perfect DOC margherita pizza or a simply-made bourbon cocktail.
