Hey all...
just returned from dallas and john congleton's studio. Six songs are almost done for the new record:
Baby missiles, Slave Sale, Comin' Thru, The Central Trust, Even the Crosseyed and Black Water Falls....Most cuts were started at my joint in philly, or at jeff zeigler's Uniform studios in philly and then i took the tapes to john's and dissected everything and did a ton of overdubs. Can't wait for it all to be done!!

No upcoming dates or anything right now but stay tuned for happenings in 2010 f'sho.

the problem is you're playing a Taylor haha....meaning known for too much bright end....pick up a jumbo....go gibson j-series or a lerger martin, you'll get the SOUND of your life. And believe it or not...little hint, figured this out playing around with some of the guns n roses guitar players a few years ago out in LA....D'ADARRIO STRINGS....I know it sounds nuts....they'll take some of that natural painful ping right out of those guitars with the lighter wood. try a set of 12's with heavy bottoms or something.
