Top Ten Things I Keep On My Desk

Friday, June 30th, 2006

Thanks to everyone who has offered support or condolences in the past two days. It’s very much appreciated. I’m feeling better, the only thing that upsets me right now is that my other dog is depressed. He skulks around, he cries all night, and he lays by the top of the staircase or the front [...]

Sorry…My Dog Died

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

…I apologize in advance for the personal, sad story.
The past two days have been pretty difficult for my family; we’ve had to say goodbye to our dog Muppet. Two weeks ago she began having problems with her front paws. After fourteen years of unblemished, perfect health, seeing the dog struggle just to hold herself up [...]

Shooting the Breeze in the Still of Summer

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

Last night was a pretty nice jam at Studio Evan Studios 1. The recording sounds awful so it makes no sense to share it, but there was actually a lot of good music being made. At one point Ian, Ilya and I were all playing guitar and Ken was drumming. While I held down a [...]

Evan Ostracizes Himself From the Industry #1

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

I think it’s time for a new FEATURE segment on CmajEm. “Top Ten Friday” can be fun to do sometimes, and the “Sunday Mix Tapes” are always annoying to compile but the exposure sure is nice. The “Random Daily Google-Image-Search” feature was greeted with little fanfare and died silently (gas leak) a few months ago. [...]

He Sailed Home on the Backs of His Men

Monday, June 26th, 2006

Every ship that has left this port suddenly caught fire. Sails burn up like tissue paper until only soot and smoke hung in the air above the hull. A controlled blaze, if ever there was one. The stink of rotten rations billowed from below deck. The men caught sick and heaved into the choppy sea. [...]

SUNDAY MIX TAPE – VOLUME 21

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

Well, my weekend was interesting, but it pretty much all went downhill Saturday afternoon when I snorted that first spoonful of applesauce to gross out my sister. But, enough about me–how are you? Are you as excited as I am for tonight’s season 2 premier of Venture Bros.? If you’re not, you should be–and if [...]

Ladies and Gentlemen…Thunderparty!

Saturday, June 24th, 2006

Another long night. I met Z, Ken and Mike for coffee and then we decided to head back to my place to play some music. It didn’t sound very pretty but we laughed through about forty-five minutes of noise, two bottles of red wine, and a dozen Hostess donuts. When everyone left I finished off [...]
