Hello friends,

Well summer is here and there is lots to talk about. So I got in early this morning  from a wedding reception for 2 friends of mine. They were married on 6-21 and I'd like to start this off by wishing them the best for many years to come. 

We re-shot the photo's for the new version of the upcoming book a few weeks ago. I have to tell you, this new book cover is going to knock you out of your seat. It is definitely going to compliment  (what I feel) , a truly enjoyable book tributing Boston's music scene. I also recently included an addition interview to the book. This artist/band is terrific and I can't wait for you to read their interview. I could tell you who it is but I'd rather keep it a secret until it comes out.

Speaking of great music, I would like you all to check out a band called Stimulator. They are a great band out of L.A. and they have a new album in the works. Check out their first CD and hopefully you will be blown away enough to desperately await their next one.

As far as other music I'm currently enjoying

• Rockferry by Duffy
• Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
  
• @#%&! Smilers by Aimee Mann
• This is the Life by Amy MacDonald
• Dubious Intentions by Shadow Parade
• FutureFutureFuturePerfect by Freezepop
• Heima by Sigur Ros
• A Beautiful Lie by 30 Seconds to Mars
• Making Memories by The Mars Patrol
• Aneurythm by Living Syndication

I've also read a few good books lately

• The Tom Cruise Biography by Andrew Morton
• A Guide for Guys by Micheal Powell
• Foyle's Philavery by Christopher Foyle
• The Slash biography by Slash
• The Raw Food Detox Diet by Natalia Rose
• Save Me from Myself by Brian "Head" Welch
• Cape Encounters
• The Time Machine (Re-reading) by H.G. Wells
  

OK, thanks for stopping by. I will have more for you very soon. August is right around the corner.

 Hi Everyone,
So have you heard Patti DeRosa's new Cd "Secrets and Stories?" As you may or may not know, Patti is featured in my book "The Sounds from Boston." She just released her 2nd CD and it's nothing short of amazing. I myself enjoy the tracks WAITING in NEW ORLEANS and RESTLESS. Pick it up at her site (Listed at my friends page on here).

Speaking of good music; I went to see The Mars Patrol at The Paradise Lounge in Boston last weekend. They are an amazing Scottish band that just wrapped up their American tour this weekend. After the show we all hung out on their tour bus talking music, Boston and Scotland (I think it's time for a visit there). You can check them out as well from the link on my friends page and while you're at it, pick up a copy of their new Cd "Making Memories." You can check out the pictures we took after the show on my pictures page.

That's it for now. I'll be back to post very soon and oh yes.... GO RED SOX!!!!!! That's now two in my lifetime ;)
