Cee-Roo, Again.
Cee-Roo takes it up a notch. The guy will be discovered by someone, sometime, for sure.
The Black Keys – Lonely Boy
Well, life continues to be an interesting adventure, the Lost Ark Studio continues to build on a long held dream, the collection of vintage gear grows, new music turned my way, and then a killer track, with an simple video concept that just has to make you smile. Enjoy…

Humbling…
Seriously, how much insane talent is out there? People working things first just because it’s what they *have* to do, that they love to do.
Then they push the edges of what they can do and in doing so push the edges of what can be done and then, once proven they sometimes luck out and it becomes a living…
Congrats guys…
Blackout Party
Cool, cool, cool… The first full album recorded at The Lost Ark Studio is off for pressing, with a release party at The Casbah in San Diego set for Friday, October 21st.
Brian, Tim, Daniel, Jeff and Jesse are not only great musicians, but good guys, as is Mike, the man behind the console for all of it.
Opening the doors to the place was great experience – a private show every night – and the music, the CD, sounds great as well. It might have taken me 25 years to work out how to get back involved with music, but if this is what can come from that long wait, it’s fine by me…
And go figure – a dub/reggae/house/trance guy loving this americana/blues/kick ass music, it’s been playing in my car for weeks now.
There’s more to follow, but for a listen of the first single off the album, check out the Soundcloud link below.
Un-Freaking-Real…
I am way late to the Dubstep party, truth is I probably won’t ever get there – but damn, it is downright inspiring to see one person redefine what is possible when it comes to dance/movement. Just one dude, a camera and a hell of a lot of work – and your mind is blown…
Republic of Letters: Don’t Change (INXS Cover)
Speaking of music from The Lost Ark Studio, here’s the first video done there. Sweet…

The Lost Ark Studio
Music has had a hold on me forever – hunched over a simple cassette player listening to Beatles tapes, getting my first Led Zeppelin album from an older cousin, listening to “Rastaman Vibration” for the first time, walking into a recording studio in New York City to make coffee and sweep floors and leaving with a bit of engineering knowledge and having a brief but ever so rewarding time as a DJ, spinning House music to those that needed it as much as I did.
After a ten year detour working with software (and enough sense to know that I didn’t belong on either side of the glass) I had a chance to get back into music in far different way than before – by building a small recording studio with the help of a Scott Kennerly,
It took a couple of years of talking about it to finally pull the trigger, but I’m glad we built it as it is a pretty special place. Location wise, it is where we first had a game room for the software company built down by the beach, and it’s just a hundred yards from the Pacific Ocean. And even though we set out to build a very simple place, it turned out just right – big enough to record most any band live, comfortable enough to be in for 12 hours at a time, and with just the right amount of gear to get whatever is needed down on tape just the way it should be.
So yeah, I’m kind of proud of The Lost Ark Studio, and looking forward to seeing what comes of this new adventure…
