Misplaced Recordings: 3 Songs 1 Spoken Word

Had forgotten these songs / recordings, all done for a friend's album: http://www.imeem.com/people/H6X4Af_

Whoops.



Also had forgotten about this portrait by the artist Lauren Weinstein, and just rescanned it at a better resolution. Believe it was made in December 2007. I drove with Lauren on a leg of her band's West Coast tour and she sent this to me afterward. I'm depicted here driving. I find Lauren to be a great and interesting person to know as well as a fantastic illustrator. Kind of inspiring to have been inspiring.
