Interview + Live Songs With Limewire! September 2nd, 2010
Sir Gilber Gilmore and I had the pleasure of playing a couple of songs for the Limewire Music Blog last week. The Dutchmaster was very impressed that I took this opportunity to promote the new album by playing two songs that are not on it. Quite impressive if I do say so myself!
I also got to do an interview with the lovely and talented Maddy Wyatt where I broke the international record for saying "uh" or "um" for the most times within a five minute period.

"Wave Of Walls" On "The Gates" On ABC! July 19th, 2010
We just recieved word that "Wave Of Walls" got a bit of airtime on the ABC drama, "The Gates." That's the good news, the bad news is we found out today and the show aired last night!?? I only wish the fine folks at ABC would have let me know beforehand, so I could've spread the word and watched the moment in real time myself. Had it not been for some good friends who watch shows about vampires, I may have never known.
Luckily, we live in the age of Hulu...watch the episode below, and if you�re not into werewolves and vampires and such, just skip right ahead to minute 34 to hear the song! Or just buy the album and listen to the whole song!

It's official...at least one person on Earth likes my new album! The fine folks at absolutepunk.net recently reviewed "Love Is Here To Stay," and they gave it some high praise. Awesome!
They also described me as a "gregarious, raven-haired Brooklynite." DOUBLE AWESOME!

"Mr. Rogers And Me" June 18th, 2010
I'm very honored to have two songs off "Love Is Here To Stay" (The title track and "The World Is Waking Up!") in the new documentary, "Mr. Rogers And Me." As you may have guessed, the documentary is about everyone's favorite neighbor, Mr. Rogers, and features interviews by the late Tim Russert, Susan Stamburg, Marc Brown and many more. The movie premieres tonight at The Nantucket Film Festival, and I'm here to witness it!
My good friend Ben Wagner and his brother Chris have been working on this for years, and I'm quite excited as a friend and huge Mr. Rogers fan to finally see the finished product! Ben first met "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" creator and star, Fred Rogers, at Rogers' summer home on Nantucket, Massachusetts. His mother rented the cottage next door, so Mister Rogers really was his neighbor.
On the afternoon of their first meeting, "America's Favorite Neighbor" asked the young journalist about his job as an MTV News producer. Wagner felt exposed and embarrassed, a PBS mind in a jump-cut, sound-bit MTV world.
Mister Rogers said warmly, "I feel so strongly that deep and simple is far more essential than shallow and complex."
Later, Rogers said simply, "Spread the message, Benjamin." I think it's safe to say Ben is doing his part. Check out the trailer below!
