back to the homey page
* * * * * december 16, 2006 * * * * * Veni Veni O Coup de Deux
yeah. so the "news" updates on this page are mostly non-musical... and they function mostly as an indicator that i've visited the site and done something to it. the major overhaul has yet to occur, and i'm really planning to do at least a few things by 2007: a better music page with clear navigation. clear mp3s and album listings. also, a link to Coup de Deux information. Coup de Deux has been playing a lot in the last 2 months, and we've got fun times lined up for the winter and spring. Right now we're doing shows featuring our holiday set, which i hope to get recorded in some form or another.
much as i'd like to update all the non-music stuff, the music takes up all my time. i've got lots of audio and video to deal with when i'm not writing, practicing, performing, or doing alchemy. also, there's the fairbanks local compilation cd project... more on that later, too. but all the information is available at the TACS/LPP myspace.
Happy Holidays to you, Sweetie
* * * * * november 20, 2006 * * * * * love works its way around this lonely little inbred town
oh, lord. now i'm kinda updating this page AND my myspace page. right now i'm sitting in the uaf pub watching the video documentation of the LIVE FROM CHENA spectacle. which is pretty awesome. and will soon be available in cd format as "live from chena" with fireball and the second set with john keech. what else am i doing? oh, nothing. a whole lotta stewing. stewing in my own juices.
there is funny stuff coming up. i'll be on the road march/april/may 2007. if you read this and contact me... maybe i'll come to your house. more details later.
* * * * * october 16, 2006 * * * * * sweet libation and sweet melody
oh, what do you do
when the internet is down?
internet access with the outside world cut off.
i can update this website since it's on a local server,
but apparently we lost our fiberoptic lifeline
in the aftermath of the recent flooding in southcentral alaska.
maybe i'll get out and do some non-web stuff today.
two weeks till
this thursday (oct 19) at the marlin with the dark secretkeepers. then melissa mitchell plays there friday and saturday.
* * * * * september 27, 2006 * * * * * land of enchantment
well, when it comes to updating this website, i'm always at the mercy of the computers i can find. my FTP knowledge is limited. so i'm doing it all on my laptop. might as well get used to it, though i can't seem to make it as easy as it is back home...
it's been a fine 12 days. the marathon in fairbanks was beautiful. i was fat and out-of-shape, but happy to finish the thing faster than last year. next year i will get in shape. the yellow trees in fairbanks autumn strike me more every year.
on the way to DC, my flight from seattle turned around over idaho and returned to SEA-TAC. so i was 5 hours late to DC, but it only cost me some sleep. caught a ride with joy and luke to the outer banks, north carolina. relaxed for 5 days, with a trip to ashland to see dan bern. a great surprise was that ed hamell opened up. he opened for dan last year in anchorage.
it's good for me to occasionally see these songsters in non-alaska venues ~ more like the real world of touring. which can be a drag at times, no doubt. the ashland gig was at a sedate, sit-down-at-a-candlelit-table kinda thing. high-energy hamell was great, but he made a few remarks like, "are you folk people always like this?"
amidst his full-on funny originals, he threw in a ballad about brandon teena. i gotta find out if that's recorded anywhere... (it is. it's called "hail" and it's at his myspace.) i bought his new one.
dan was amusing and played great stuff, but he was pretty grumpy. having just released a new album with a few good songs and a lot of mediocre ones, he said it was the first night that he and his 2-man band could play 'em all. so they played 'em all. in order. with no typical bern banter whatsoever. they played one other song then took a break. it seemed like that might be it. when dan came back out, people yelled the classic requests that he hates to have to play, and he said he was pissed off at the audience, and he started a couple weird songs about floyd landis and bonds and rafael nadal, but he didn't finish 'em. finally he grumpily told his cohorts to come back on stage and they'd play the big hits. he stayed grumpy and said almost nothing, but they played another hour of songs from more recent albums. not really a comical one in the bunch. i enjoyed myself. and i was parked right next to the band van with new mexico plates.
and now i'm in that very state. every day i run down into the canyon to the rio grande river that runs a few miles from my parents' house. the southwest landscape hits me more every time i visit. monday i played at an open mic night in taos, and i'm hoping to play there next march. tonight the red elvises play in my hometown of los alamos, which is unbelievable to me. a month ago, elena james played here. thursday and friday i plan to travel south. and sunday i'll return to fairbanks.
this winter's gonna be good.
* * * * * september 15, 2006 * * * * * marathon tomorrow!!!
in the midst of some changes. should be completely overhauled by october. tomorrow i run a marathon, maybe play some music, then leave fairbanks. i'll be gone for two weeks. to kitty hawk and new mexico. also, i get to see dan bern in virginia on the 20th.
* * * * * august 27, 2006 * * * * * lisa's birthday???
hey hey. i've been back in fairbanks for almost 8 days. immediately upon arrival i contrived to go down to denali park and into kantishna to see tim easton. i was pleased to see many of my favourite fairbanks musicians were also there to play some tunes. also in my first week back i played at the marlin open mic, got ill, then played an ill show at the marlin friday night. for my next week, i am gonna be awesome.
i'll be working this site up a bit. there's much music to come this fall/winter. writing, recording, performing. i'll also get a bit more up about the trip to australia, fiji, and hawaii.
two crummy little mp3s up at the mp3 of the month thingio.
* * * * * june 12, 2006 * * * * * god's arm strike with us - 'tis a fearful odds
it's 2 AM. i was just about to leave the physics building and pedal home...
but i decided to change a few things here. it's been over a month, as my dear friend sigrid pre-emptively informed me weeks ago. june is busy. my plate is full. i fly to australia in 4 weeks. i'm trying to write a publishable paper about correlations in data series. i'd like to watch more world cup games. i stayed up till 5AM to watch paraguay's own goal on saturday, then promptly fell asleep. few games are on public telly here. the england match was, the u.s. match in a few hours will not be. i'll be running a 10K next saturday, and it's gonna be slow. i just don't get out quite enough.
i played 2 shows with 2 different bands, at clucking blossom and the BIG-I party, but mostly no music. although i have been doing some late-night quickie demos at the cabin. two of them are covers of songs by locals: "the hookup" by k*dogg calhoun and "abigail" by margaret. i also re-recorded "another wall song" which is one of a few that'll be getting the full treatment sometime. check the new ones at myspace. and i put an old mp3 up of my haunting version of peter mulvey's "ithaca". check it out in the new mp3 of the month area. will it last?
* * * * * may 9, 2006 * * * * *
weekly is weakly anyway, yo?
it's finals week, and though i'm not taking classes, i have a major meeting on friday which will determine my final days of grad school, which will take place this year. more on that after the meeting. in other news, mulvey was great. i played a bunch of shows, finishing with an acoustic thing with leighton on sunday night. i quite enjoyed that. it looks like the secretkeepers will rock the upcoming clucking reckoning. and i think that'll be it for live fireball music for 2006. i'll be hosting the marlin open mic a couple times, but besides that, it's pure shakespeare and physics till 2007. that's right. i'm not kidding. i expect to clean the site up, though. some new mp3s available, in a somewhat orderly fashion. also an mp3 of the month of me covering other people's songs. mark erelli inspired me to do that... some of the neglected corners of the site revisited. will anybody notice? god will notice.
karl and dmitri apparently got approval to continue their various travels through russia. and i'm ecstatic.

ooooh. long time no blog and blather. o abominable.
i just did my taxes. i owed some. and i owed $170 more because FST sent me a 1099-MISC instead of a W-2. that's pretty ridiculous. i should maybe start paying attention to this stuff.
when i last typed something here, karl bushby had just set off across the frozen but shifting bering strait. since then he successfully crossed in a fortnight, which led to revelry. then he was detained by russian authorities, which led to worry. now he's been courted and sentenced to deportation. currently in appeals, what a tremendous bummer that would be.
i myself work hard on math physics, prepare to play with burr settles this week, prepare to hear peter mulvey on wednesday, prepare for Henry V this summer.
The blind mole casts
Coped hills towards heaven, to tell the earth is thronged

for only the second time, i'm changing this website with my laptop. somehow, i cannot make this particular activity as easy as it is down the hall on the IE PCs. but it's nice to know it's possible.
it's been almost 20 years that i've thought today was hannah's birthday. upon receiving my greetings today, however, she told me that it was, if one wanted to be precise, yesterday.
Pericles opened and was a bit kinky that first weekend. but by sunday, we had worked out many kinks. looking forward to our middle weekend. and i'm very glad to have more free evenings for physics and music. i played at the pub open mic last night en route to hosing the marlin open mic. and hosting it. i wrote a list of many songs i don't really know, and i played some of them. most notably "in the gloaming" and nate montgomery's "kentucky kind". i thought i had made a breakthrough in my physics, but it was apparently more an error in my fortran than a breakthrough... and now, a shakespeare line that you can hear delivered by mr. j-k bowne:
What would you have me do? go to the wars, would
you? where a man may serve seven years for the loss
of a leg, and have not money enough in the end to
buy him a wooden one?

now only physics and Pericles. trying to bring it on.
isaac told me that the SGC got the most plays on KSUA last week. and channon pointed out that it was #3 on last week's KSUA charts.

mid-february! FAWM 2006 is underway. about halfway done...
i'm trying not to spend so much time on this year's FAWM, but it ain't easy. even worse is my lack of recording software. i have to actually PLAY the songs. annoying. sometime i'll add a page on this site for my FAWM 06, but for now, you have to go to the fawm site or my soundclick place... i've got 5 "songs" recorded and posted... another 2 or 3 pretty much done, but in need of recordings. i hope to play one or two of 'em at the coffeehouse on the loser valentine party on tuesday. where the kids'll be.
the cd release parties all went well. kinda wish i had a recording of each one... the whole marlin show was filmed, and the whole pub show was sorta recorded, so that's not bad. and then i had to do folk fest for two days. but now that's done. nothing but fawm and physics.
it warmed up. marlin party temps: -50F. pub party temps: 30F.
* * * * * february 1, 2006 * * * * *
february! FAWM 2006 has begun. 14 songs to come...
in the midst of the coldest fortnight since long before i came to fairbanks, we had great shows on thursday and friday, though the cold kept the massive crowds down. rehearsals are mostly done. a couple more shows. and short fireball appearances on feb. 10 and feb. 11 at the fairbanks winter folk festival...
bardathon is going quite well at the empress downtown.

has it really been that long? well, i've been doing something since then, i guess. i've been doing a lot of work on my thesis, a bit of which is here. the Secret Grey City cds finally arrived, and there's information about them here. there will now follow two weeks of intense celebration about these cds; the four big events are listed on the front page.
i'm quite pleased to tossing this cd into the pool amidst many other sweet local releases...

it's been consistenly below -20F at my cabin for 10 days now. i love it. forecasts call for at least another week. my freewheel gives up around -35, which is problematic, especially in these days when i'm riding around with all my music gear.

* * * * * january 1, 2006 * * * * *
happy new year. let's take this time to reflect a little bit, shall we?
the cds won't be here for about another week, but let's pretend they're here right now, but nobody is allowed to see them yet because we're all waiting for the big cd release shows. these should be good. i'm setting my expectations extremely high so as to be disappointed, but i expect many musical folks to help me out with the shows. the big marlin gig is the main show, there is also an acoustic show, a subsidiary academic conference, and a secret (grey) show. ummmm... does anybody want to sing in the choir?
i'm glad that's over with. besides some rehearsing for the shows, i plan little but physics. which is good, because my knowledge of levy distributions and infinite-variance dynamics is deplorable.
love love love

famous losing battles
oh, how many children will cry upon finding no Secret Grey City beneath the tree? but on christmas day, those cds will be hot off the presses, in impatient boxes, awaiting their postage. . in the end, the music made it to the factory before the childish cover art. nice going, firecrew. you guys really dropped the ball on that one.
in other news, physics work is now unimpeded. look for results on the dynamical effects of truncation on noah-alpha-levy series. here comes 2006, amigos.

thanksgiving already? i hope that means i've done a lot in the last months. where is that stuff i've done? it must be here somewhere... the show last thursday happened. i have no idea how it went. the SGC album got mastered yesterday, and will soon be collecting dust in the far corners of my cabin... happy holidays.
Don't ask me what kind of music i'm gonna play tonight.
Just stay awhile. Hear for yourself awhile.

with unmitigated girly giggly glee, i am pleased to announce the fruition of a boyhood dream to record a song with brent and bill thneed. saturday we threw down "michelada" in the studio. the coup de cerveza was completed with keech on bass. another formidable track for the SGC.
margaret and i opened for the thneeds on friday... maggie's fire

i googled that phrase (within qmarks), and got 1 result. for holy rolemodel. ummm. wet mushy snow that melts and freezes into icebike obstacles. gonna try to play music in talkeetna, chugiak, anchorage, girdwood, etc. over the thanksgiving weekend. thus... maggie's fire.

hooray for columbus
it's snowing. it's below freezing. the powder is sticking. it's winter. it's nice. now six months to work. not many gigs. some new songs. to be played at ivory jack's on cold saturday nights. there's a czech girl on the uaf cross-country/ski team. dan bern likes clovis girls. i watched the banderas film about pancho villa last night. another trip to chihuahua is in order. album recording is over. it's out of my hands now. i did all i could. i'm so so sorry.
september 28, 2005
make sure it's a big box.
it's snowing. it's above freezing. nothing's sticking. it's wet. wet like it's been all month. but the rain is all slow-falling fluffy today.
tomorrow is dan bern in fairbanks. then 3chordho! last show ever.
september 22, 2005
time is a great teacher, but she kills all her pupils.
and she's been having her way with me. still losing valuable physics time to the scene. late september distractions to include opening for jason ringenberg, watching dan bern thrice, and finishing the sgc album. last weekend was very very nice: my 10th equinox marathon was my 26th and slowest marathon ever (list coming soon), but it was beautiful, and then i got to open for the thneeds at the marlin, and they were beautiful. (and i sorta figured out how to update this site with my laptop and firefox and fireftp, but it's no fun.)
Saturday, September 17!!!!!
morning: 43rd Equinox Marathon (8 AM)
afternoon: reckoning
evening: muldoonies, marquetta, & more (8 PM, college coffeehouse)
crazy time: fireball, The Thneeds (10 PM, marlin)
schnabio and fireball are running the marathon in the morning
then rocking the evening, yo

(leaves are fallin')
snow's a-comin'. i've just returned from my 3-week new york/new england travels.
shakespeare and good times in manhattan. US open tennis. rafting the kennebec in maine.
and over 6 hours of mulvey, foucault, delmhorst, goody at folk fests in NY and PA.
i'll put up a few photos soon. and the big studio album will be out... by christmas.
i hope to spend at least a little time culling this site soon. fewer tunes, more words, photos, links.
july 30, 2005
(summer is burnin')
and july is endin'. note many music dates above, all of which will sparkle.
7 weeks till the equinox marathon. c'mon, everybody, get with it.
my buddy matias saari won the crow pass marathon, but you wouldn't know it from the results.
going to nyc with the alaska theatre alliance for the new york fringe festival. sweet. secret grey city?
july 18, 2005
(summer is hoppin')
monday after the first weekend of shakespeare in fairbanks.
also ANGRY YOUNG & POOR on saturday. and the sourdough triathlon was that day...
and the crow pass crazy run down south.
i did the tolovana 2-way torture test 2 weeks ago. it was good, but hurt my knee a little, so i haven't been running. just physics and shakespeare and a little music. the SGC mixing is limping along at a pathetic pace, which is very disappointing, but there's little i can do about it except whine and cry. perhaps a christmas release... some music gigs with nate montgomery and leighton nunez coming up... also i practiced some songs with erin juliet yesterday.
july 2, 2005
(summer is poppin')
it's july 4th weekend. i'm riding my bike north out of fairbanks.
my only chance to get away this summer.
the 18-day shakespeare tour went well, although the marathon i ran in the middle was
quite lame. i'll be doing physics and shakespeare this entire month. the secret grey city
album is fully recorded and is being mixed. soon it will be unleashed on the world. i conjured a new version of "everything in kartuli" a couple days ago..
i'll post it soon, though i might have one more go at it before i move on.
june 1, 2005
(summer is lit to pop.)
may was a fine little month of physics, music, shakespeare...
and very very little training for the upcoming marathon.
today i recorded a version of "everything in kartuli" at home.
this song'll be the last on the SGC cd. which is due out soon.
today's rough demo is at my myspace place.

april 25
ha ha! i was at the alaska folk fest from the 13th-17th. downtown juneau packed with folk music. back home it's springtime in fairbanks: long days, big puddles of winter's melting snow. school semester ending. summer shakespeare coming up. and i won't be playing out anywhere, as i'll be busy recording some stuff for a cd. birds singing everywhere. check it out.
april 10
hmmmmm. things like time fly way too fast. spent march playing tunes and giving away copies of the february album. all the songs are at soundclick, but i've'nt gotten the accompanying booklet and stuff online yet. and it likely won't happen soon, because i'm going to juneau on tuesday for the folk fest. simultaneously, the music conference in anchorage will be rocking. matt hopper just drove to fairbanks, played the coffeehouse, and drove back south... photos, sketches, words all coming soon as time slows down.
(caressa is the sweetest)
march 22
this is a test to see if i can update my webpage from my laptop. i've yet to learn this skill, or care much. but i will update more if i ever figure it out. and that will bring great joy to the shadowlands. more importantly than fireball hoopla: sweating honey, 3chordho, and danny and the junkshow are all playing the marlin this weekend. friday and saturday. something good'll be happening. fireball might buy you a milk and vodka.

good lord, march is almost over, too. FAWM 05 has come and gone.
i got 14 songs, 4 fiery interludes. plus a live yukon ryder intro. it fills a cd. still working on a fun accompanying booklet...
e-mail if you want a copy. all the mp3s are lo-fi here: fireball's sweet FA.
all of 'em are hi-fi at soundclick.com which is a cool place. you can stream all the songs. myspace.com has a few tidbits...

|
february 19
10 FAWM songs down. good times. saw the Fairbanks Shakespeare Theatre production of "the fantasticks" last night. it was nice. musicals are weird, but there were cool harmonies and vocals on well-written catchy songs. gotta appreciate that during FAWM.

february 17
FAWM is on schedule. 8 songs down. physics is a little behind schedule. don't ask.
hosted open mic last night. true to recent form, there were no other performers for
the first 2 hours. which was fine. i had a good time, even though i didn't get to
prepare at all. played my acoustic through a chorus pedal for some extra flav.
and i played 6 FAWM songs!!! #2-7... stripped down versions. i had the lyrics
right there, but they went well. some of them went really well. i wanted to do a totally
new song... but i didn't have one... maybe saturday.

it's three days into february. FAWM is flying with 100+ online songsters, including 7 fairbanksies... marquetta, hb, swearingen, billyemo, johnny k, and chris curry. i've written two weak songs, but haven't recorded either of them yet. they'll be up soon. at first i'll post them at myspace.com, but they'll end up here eventually...
transcaucasia notes are here...

february 1
the month has just begun, time for songwriting and physics. i hoped to be home early to write a song, but...
january was azerbaijan and shakespeare. transcaucasia notes are here, with no significant updates since i got back. i spent all extra hours at the bardathon last week. read 20 plays and several hours of poem. "the rape of lucrece" was my new discovery. "hamlet" a rediscovery, yet again. wish i'd started with the local troupe one year sooner.

I will be the gladdest thing under the sun
I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one
I will look at cliffs and clouds with quiet eyes,
watch the wind blow down the grass, and the grass rise
wow. december. okay. not much music... or much else except physics.. for awhile now.
happy wintertimes and holy days to everyone. before christmas, i will finish theTuft of Pines
song write-up, and i will add a christmas song and a new song to the mix. and that's it for 2004.
them words above are from deb talan's song "the gladdest thing" debtalan.com
***late august update: my fave words from that deb talan song were borrowed from edna st. vincent millay...
i had to go to maine and buy a guidebook to figure that out...
although i'm told she gives credit to millay on the album, so it's my fault for not buying it.
she also borrow's a translation of some pablo neruda for another song "cherry trees"...

holly relayed the message that, "he's not much of a fireball... more like a dove."
if that doesn't convince you, maybe a superficial page change will.
currently half-halloween/half-doveball. don't feel like changing more today, because...
i'm playing at college coffee tonight with the one and only caressa.
follow the link above for glam photos and mp3s from her melrose phase.

alright, majority... of counted votes... of those who voted... you bastards.
i almost attached a link to a manifesto with my earlier plea
VOTE KERRY
but i got hungry for some doritos so i didn't. my bad.
i dressed up as fidel castro and/or che guevara for halloweekend,
and i'm going to stay in character. except for the cigars.

deathball wishes you a happy electionween
and hopes you'll vote for kerry/edwards/some-gleam-of-hope.
otherwise it'll be deathball 365. seriously.
cheers to margaret in ithaca, new york. for her geography,
i recorded a cold midnight cabin crackling fire version of mulvey's
"ithaca" last night.
also a noisy
"i am the landing gear" with the vocals way too loud.

i got a idea or two for this site, but such things are kinda far down
the priority list... lots of tunes with ample lyrics and boring vignettes,
plus drawings, physics, recipes, and helpful links like these:
Whole Wheat Radio funky automated interactive stream from talkeetna
College Coffeehouse just down the hill from UAF where lots of music goes down
Today, it's international love day with new foreign-language mp3 songs:
"Spring in Alaska/Jaro na Aljasku" with honza in moravia, 1998.
"Jolie"
with britt arnesen singing french at AFF 2003.
both of these come off hissy analog tapes, but i still love them.
i'm gonna get lyrics up here for you aspiring czech and french linguists.

i'm listening to the webcast of the final VOTE FOR CHANGE concert.
whole wheat radio is rebroadcasting it, too. springsteen is preaching.
i quite like that talkeetna streaming radio. and last thursday i caught
matt hopper on a stream from ASU down in tempe, arizona.
the final LIBERTY CABBAGE show went down last thursday.
by request, two ratty old mp3s are now on the music page...
"custard apple" from a live AIP KSUA radio show back in 2002
"dynes & ergs" from a beat up analog tape straight from the czech republic circa 1998

1. there's a new lowest-fi version of a song called "tuft of pines" on here now.
2. as i add songs, some will disappear or shrink down to possibly unlistenable sample rates.
3. i'm doing poorly at not playing any gigs... but i assure you i'm not rehearsing or practicing.
September 8, 2004
very very soon the fawm mp3s will go down to ultra-lo-fi compression
so that i can put
more stuff up here.
there's a benefit for danny d. at the marlin this friday, but contrary
to fbxshows,
liberty cabbage won't be there. rudeboy will be playing lower l.a. that
night
with 3chordho! and yonosapiens.
September 3, 2004 -- College Coffeehouse
i'll be playing a few tunes before matt hopper
and sweatin honey do the back to school thing. five bucks.
marquetta miller will be splitting the 7-8 PM hour with me, then hopper 8-10, then honey 10-12...
otherwise, i'm doing 4 hard months of school this semester.
but i'll probably play the coffeehouse and the pub about once a month.
for the www firecrew, i'll probably add something to this site regularly. physics mostly.
happy autumn, you kids.
