L.A. times, sushi and Jarvis Cocker
Our week in L.A. is coming to a close, and we’ve covered a lot of ground in a short amount of time. I got to hang with my buddy Bob Massey from The Gena Rowlands Band early in the week at The Cat and the Fiddle. While we were having a drink, Jarvis Cocker came in. If you know who he is, then you can freak out. If you don’t know who he is, then you don’t care. I thought it was to see him. I like Pulp.
Generally, Shawn and I have been up at noon and out until 4 a.m. working the beat. (Last night was the exception - 5 a.m.) We hung out with James Barber, producer of The Long Tail, and strategized about the future of music.
My show at Tangier on Friday was awesome. Matt, from Theft played a stellar set and I followed him. The crowd was into it. I couldn’t have been happier with the set. Bob said, I “won over a room full of jaded Angelinas”. It certainly felt like it from where I was standing.
I will be letting you know about a new recording soon, which we were in the studio until five this morning tracking. It’s the song I added to my set this tour. You’re gonna dig it. The studio we used was amazing. Michael Belfer, engineer of The Long Tail, got us in there. He’s working with David Bianco, who I met while he was leaving for the night. Really cool dude. He’s worked on some huge records.
In Costa Mesa on Thursday, I met Matt Russell from Song Check Live. Check out what he’s doing here. www.songchecklive.com. Amazing stuff. I’m excited to start talking with him about teaming up.
We’re off to Phoenix, AZ tomorrow. I’ve got to get back to my interview for Noise Makes Enemies. I’ll put a link up here when they post it.
