A story of love and war during the German invasion of the Ukraine through sand art on Ukraine’s got talent.

Old school x’s to remind you of how staying edge usually crashes and burns in a pile of flames.

2009 it was the best of times…it was the worst of times…
It’s been quite a year so far…I’ve certainly learned a lot about how live a life of luxery and how to destroy it all within a night. Criminal menace to society, lost gigs, lost “friends” and absolutely broke. In the positive I play in a successful band and I teach music…but all the negatives have been a sign to chill out and go back to my basics and practice, practice practice.
I don’t think I’ve ever lost a gig up to this point, while the turmoil in my life didn’t directly cause it, it just was a reminder that living the cushy life means you become soft. Thom Yorke once said… “Remain orderly in life so that you may be free and chaotic in your work. You basically lose it when you destroy your brain or destroy yourself emotionally”. Back to basics, back to learning what others know, back to the beginning, back to when I wasn’t trying to drown everything (including myself).
Off to practice…more.

The fall and rise.
Haven’t written in a while, I’ve been enjoying the summer with friends and family. The weather has been incredible the past few days, where living outside would actually be enjoyable. I kind of do, I spend about 40 percent of my life driving to different destinations in the metropolitan area. Certainly increases my chances to have my driving practice honed and scrutinized by the patrols.
Echosuite continues to do well, we’ve got our show at Webster Hall coming up on the 18th and then another Bowery Ballroom date on the 28th and a debut at Poission Rouge on the 13th of August, (exciting right!?). I really enjoy playing with the band and we’re finally getting to really know each other musically and as “human beings” as Rob put it tonight.
Have a gig with “Livingston Leo” at the National Underground next Monday, hopefully it will turn into a residency there. The Kontrabassville Bass Quartet also gave a performance to the NJYS Summer Camp today which was very enjoyable. I miss playing classical music on a regular weekly basis (with repertoire that actually really challenged me to get better).
As for myself: endless summer.remmus sseldne
