here's a song i wrote tonight for my friend allison. when i first met her i said "hey! elvis costello wrote a song about you!" ...and i said this as though no one had ever thought of it before...and she said "but that songs about a pregnant girl!" which i guess it is. so anyway, here's my new allison song. not about pregnancy at all. just about having fun. ...which according to me, apparently, automatically excludes being pregnant? thank you to eric for reminding me about the pixies song of the same name, as well. muchas gracias, mi amigo de puerto rico.

DNA in Me cover project takes on new twist!
Here's another cover of Magic Tricks' "DNA in Me"...this time by Sean Whittaker. while i went for a stripped down approach (by choice, i swear), sean did what he does best: he made a full-on, very professional arrangement which somehow captures and preserves the wackiness of the original in ways more subtle and more accurate than my ham-fisted, gorilla-dick version. i would strongly suggest you compare the original (via the link at the bottom of this page) with my version (Cover Project Tres, see below) and now you can listen to Sean's version right down there! or (if you have a life) don't. hurray!

Dan Deacon Show, Detroit 01/27
Here's mike and i with mr. dan deacon. there was more sweating going on than you could imagine. i perfected my "bouncing in place" dance, also. which is nice. the show was just as fun as hell. we said "brainface" together exactly 45 times. wee! i can't decide if i look more like a miami coke dealer or a wacky gay friend on a sitcom...but either way i was pretty pleased with myself, from the look of things.
