As I write this, American forces have just conducted airstrikes in Syria. Syria is a sovereign nation that has never struck at America. The country’s president, Bashar Assad, is backed by Vladimir Putin’s government. Assad and Putin will have to address this action. The attack was aimed at ISIS targets,......

RADIO BROADCAST #28709–28–14 Fanatic! I do believe we have hit a perfect balance on this particular show. I keep listening to it and I keep digging it. For the last two nights, I have been taking a bunch of vinyl singles and burning them onto CDR. There are so many......

The last few days have been somewhat blurred and quite good. I am in Antwerp, Belgium, by way of Los Angeles and Chicago. After nine hours on the ground, I am emerging from the coma of jet lag. What brought me here? As much as anything else, a total lack......

RADIO BROADCAST #28609–21–14 Fanatic! Just back from a few sleepless days in Belgium, working on a film. Staggered back into the office not two hours ago. Before that, I was in Chicago for Riot Fest and met Nadya and Masha from Pussy Riot. I was so happy to be able......

RADIO BROADCAST #285 09–14–14 Fanatics! As you hear the show Sunday, I will be in Belgium, working on a film. Not for long, I will be back in a few days. I was very busy over the last several months, working on 10 Things You Don’t Know About for the......

RADIO BROADCAST #28409–07–14 Fanatic! Another great night of music awaits you. Here we are, walking into September. It’s still very warm in a lot of places, so for many, it’s the inner autumn. I am in Los Angeles at the moment and it’s plenty warm. As you can see, we......

I am still on the road, working on 10 Things You Don’t Know About for H2. We’re more than 140 days in, and a little more than half of those have been actual shoot days. The rest have been devoted to travel, voice-over, studio work and days off. It is a......

RADIO BROADCAST #28308–31–14 Fanatics! I know that Autumn doesn’t officially start until the 22nd of next month and it could very well be that I still have a Pavlovian response to the end of the Labor Day and school starting but for me, the start of September is the end......
