SHOCK & AWE: THREE YEARS LATER

“We are losing each day as an average 50 to 60 people throughout the country, if not more - if this is not civil war, then God knows what civil war is.”
-Iyad Allawi, March 19, 2006
Former Iraq PM (US appointed)

"The level of activity that we see today from a military standpoint, I think, will clearly decline. I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency."
-Dick Cheney, May 31, 2005

SCIENTOLOGY VS. SOUTH PARK:

“There is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry towards religious beliefs of others begins,”
-Isaac Hayes on leaving the show South Park, which notoriously satirized religion on a regular basis.

“I never heard a peep out of Isaac in any way until we did Scientology. He wants a different standard for religions other than his own, and to me, that is where intolerance and bigotry begin.”
-Trey Parker, (South Park co-creator)

NEW RECORD NEWS:

I’ve been finishing up the recording on a set of tunes that will be the follow up to Lone Star. Mixing should begin here in January. With any luck, I hope the new record, titled “North Hollywood Skyline”, will be available in the spring. The bulk of this one has been recorded here at my own humble BlackPug Studios with some additional recording around the corner at Plasticsoul’s studio “The Ranch” with Marc & Steven. Some song titles include:

Come Along & Thrill Us
Get The Losers Out
Charade
Bottom Of The Bottle
Wish I Knew
Sweetheart Of The Rodeo
North Hollywood Skyline
Surf Bum

Saturday Night Live – Bear City theme

Before last year’s Saturday Night Live season (04-05), my friend T. Sean Shannon asked me to compose a theme song for a series of shorts he was filming called “Bear City”. As luck would have it, several of these surreal comedic pieces aired during that season. There’s now a website dedicated to Bear City & it has a few of these shorts available for streaming. There’s a section w/a few of the tunes I created for this series. Thanks, T. Sean!
