The piece on Dave aired today on Chicago Public Radio. It was great to hear about the creation process, and how Dave went about “building” his songs, layering elements one on top of the other. What I like best about hearing Dave is how often he laughs. Even when talking about his process and the …
Man, have I mentioned lately how amazingly talented all my friends are? It’s mind-boggling sometimes, when I stop to think about it. Seriously. I’m surrounded by all manner of artists, musicians, photographers, painters. I count myself lucky to be in the midst of all this good energy.
Just got an email from Dave about an upcoming radio story that will be airing tomorrow (Tuesday, November 21) on Chicago Public Radio. It’s slated to take place sometime between 9-10 AM, and was created by Jennifer Brandel. The radio bit follows Dave’s process, and reveals how he puts one of his songs together, piece …

Last week, Ned came in to our area and asked for some volunteers to do voice work. Normally, I shy away at such a thing, but I wanted to help out since Ned’s been helping *us* out so much (with sound effects and the like). So, me, Jane, Chris and Ben all went into his …
Around noon, Liz and I walked across the street to Milk and Honey. Finding the wait way too long, we decided to get some breakfast to go. Back at her apartment, we sat down to some Orange Brioche French Toast, coffee, and an episode of West Wing (Season 7). Which led to another. And another. …
Liz got a hold of some fabric a while back, and found a guy in Frankfort who basically re-upholstered her kitchen chairs. Pretty slick. :)
Been a while since I’ve updated the songs. About two weeks ago, I was stuck on a cover of Outkast’s “Hey Ya,” as done by Mat Weddle. I played the CRAP out of that song, and found myself digging through my library for other covers (slower, more mellow versions of the originals). I decided to …
Back from vacation, back to work. Another late-ish work night, but hopefully this will be the last big push for a while.
When I was in San Francisco and met up with my friend Kevin, he told me about the upcoming podcast that Pandora was launching. Not only were they about to launch, but he was the host! How cool is that? Well they just went live yesterday, and I was able to check it out. The …
This is a pretty insular joke, but my coworkers have named Chris’ beard “Mr. Twiggles.” A while ago, Chris decided to just let his beard grow and grow for the winter. Soon after that, Matt set up a poll (using one of the polling apps we built for the radio stations) to let everyone pick …
Felix has given the Heimlich Manuever not once... but twice, to two different people. He's happy to report that both attempts were successful.
Felix has perfect pitch. If you play a note, he can guess what it is with a pretty decent degree of accuracy. He attributes this skill to learning music at an early age.
Felix has an Adults Only section, featuring racy photos of him in various poses and outfits. If you are 18 or older, you can view them by clicking here.
