We broke open a new song tonight, “Free Hearts Always Get Used,” at Kulak’s Woodshed in N. Hollywood. I’ve been writing some songs with John Hawkes… this one’s sure to be a big hit. John righteously dropped in to sing with us for this special christening occasion… ever since I got back from Morocco, seems like life is moving at half-speed… slow motion…
As an experiment, or a way to trick myself into making some new art, this year I decided to try something strange that I’ve never really done before… writing songs with other people… I thought it might help kickstart the year… the year that is now half over… truth is, these writing sessions have mostly turned out as great excuses to be hanging out and exorcising life-riddles with my amazing friends… so in a sense, the year has been very productive so far…
