Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone. I just found out that Proost, a British Record Label, will be picking up Rotation, along with the as-yet-untitled upcoming collaboration album with j. Snodgrass.

Becky Garrison, a senior contributing editor of the Wittenburg Door and author of the recent Red and Blue God, Black and Blue Church has asked to interview me for an upcoming book she’s writing on alternative church. Other interviewees include Brian McLaren, Shane Claiborne, Jonny Baker, and Phyllis Tickle. Hopefully, I’ll come across as reasonably intelligent.

Church Publishing has asked me to contribute a chapter for their upcoming book on liturgical music, A Variety of Gifts. I’ll be writing about electronic music, sampling, DJs, etc. The book will also include chapters on jazz, choirs, organs, guitars, and hip hop. Sounds cool.

Got a whole bunch of new gigs up along with some new pictures that were taken at the Ohio gig. Bowie and I are getting geared up to go Greenbelt and do our thing (if you don’t know Greenbelt, it’s kind of like a British Burning Man for Chrisitans). If you’re going to be at Greenbelt, shoot me an email so we can hang out!

Rotation is now available on iTunes as well as at the Episcopal Bookstore, although it’s a little hard to find at the latter (hint: look in “liturgy and music”). It’s still available on CDBaby, of course, or you can buy them from me. Of course, almost half of the album is downloadable in the “listens” section, so make sure you like the music before you buy it!

Oh, and people keep looking for me on MySpace and being surprised when they can’t find me, so bit the bullet and made myself a page. If you’re on there, feel free to add me to your network, poach my tunes, etc.

I’ve updated the site somewhat, including a list of interesting upcoming gigs.

The site is finally getting underway! Many thanks to Rob, who did the graphic design. I’ve started getting my portfolio online, but not much else is happening yet. I’m still trying to figure out this whole HTML thing. Do check out my online store.

More to come soon!
