I had a post-creative-weekend-come-down. After an amazing, creatively fulfilling weekend with my podcast writing partner, I had a perfectly average day, if not a slightly empty, vaguely depressing one, in which all my pursuits were cast in a different, unappealing light. I had forgotten how to deal with burnout. People often talk about this, the [...]

There’s alot of benefit to not sticking to one genre like everyone else seems to do. Start up two or three names for your work, with different persona. Then maybe try to merge them all together. Lay mastery aside for a few hours, a day, for a whole week, even. Rather, use genres and [...]

Would be a quote from me if I were addressing a bunch of young artistic types in an auditorium somewhere… But really, that is how I feel. That is what I keep telling myself.

The most blissful moment for me recently was discovering a piece of me had been missing for years. Or rather, a piece that was always there, but hidden in the shadows.

How do people come up with this? Think about where songs start from. How often do you say to yourself “I’m going to make a song that goes like this…” and then have it turn out that way? More often than not, don’t creative works just kind of materialize? The best ones? And the best [...]
“I’ll whip up some dip if you wanna cut the carrots.” “Good. You got nuts?” “I got mixed nuts.” “Great. And what is this, cheese?” “Yeah. Oh, let’s go get a bottle of something, too.” “Nice, should we get two?” “I don’t know, do we need two? Let’s do one and then another when we’ve [...]

The first spirit-crushing episode of college: When I was a freshman in college on the west coast, after half a year of not taking my class too seriously, the teacher sat me down in an evaluation and suggested I leave school. My professor, Chuck, asked me “What do you want to do? What are [...]
I have a theory about albums that they are the enemy of modern dance music. Why? Let’s start with reasons on why albums are good in general / have existed for so long… 1. Biggest reason: Sell-ability. People like packages, they like everything wrapped up together, they wanna get it all when they’re really into [...]
