Ladies and Gents,
I always find myself reflecting a lot at this time of year even more than I usually do. I suppose that's natural. I just wanted to thank everyone for another year gone by, highs, lows, and in-betweens. When it stank it sure was putrid, but when it was good it was great. It was better than great. Transcendent. I owe a lot of that to you all out there. It was a year of a lot of firsts for me, and then also a year of remembering and rediscovering some things that I don't know how I ever forgot in the first place. I saw a lot of places I've never seen before and then some places I was fortunate to see again with new eyes, met too many amazing people to count, stayed up all night in Paris watching the U.S. reaffirm its belief in itself, climbed a few ancient pyramids, saw some truly and astonishingly awful movies that get shown a lot on TV overseas (Deep Blue Sea, hi, I'm looking at you) and made a lot of music. Sure, I'm currently hacking up a lung in Southeast Asia like I smoked two packs a day since the day I was born, but it's all good baby bubba. It's all good.
On the music front, with luck 2009 should see a few records coming out by artists that I've been producing, artists that I think you'll dig a lot if you're taking the time to read this. You'll be hearing some great stuff by NYC's Richard McGraw, a truly gifted songwriter representing for Queens; by Royalchord, a duo of ladies from Melbourne Australia whose paths I crossed by some sort of divine musical blessing in Hamburg, Germany, of all places; and a few others if things work out as I hope they will. As for Fulton Lights, I'll get something else out to you, at least an EP, maybe more. The songs and ideas are there, it'll just be a matter of figuring out the when and the how. And then, of course, there are a few other tricks up my sleeve…
Here's to a 2009 full of firsts and wonder. Happy holidays to all, and I'll see you in Australia.
