"Ember" Live Video from Arlene's Grocery

Howard, who was engineering sound last night, actually cleaned the insides of my Fender, which we discovered was making squeaks.  Sarah Kemmeter captured the song in moving pictures, thx!

Maximum Appreciation

Dear Max, I miss you.

I'm singing your words,
pounding your bass notes,
trying to bring you back, somehow...

Love, JBH

Baby Mama's Husband - Live Video

Way happy that Sandra Koo busted out

the mini-vid cam at the last show!

She shot this footage of Baby Mama's Husband,

during which DJ Baron joined Tasty Pete on the drum kit,

while Simon, Mark, and I charged on... 

Thx Sandra!

Harris Trucks - Skidmark Heart

So here's the first video produced for Harris Trucks: Skidmark Heart from the FCKING BRKLYN EP.  Thx to Dez for his initiative and imagination.  Thx to Jon for his talented vision manifest in every frame.  Thx to DJ Baron who encouraged me to record this song and performed the ingeniously sparse drum track.  Thx to Jer for his enheartened low end on the recording.  Thx to Nogi for playing public villain #1 on a cold, early, marathon morning in an illegal costume.  The on-screen performances are credited on the Vimeo page as well, though I must point out how true and gorgeous the likes of Frank Wood, Silas, Dev, Koos, Wonk, DJ, Janessa, Pete Light, Tiff, Terri, Flu, Amy, and Red Feather are on screen in the story.  Preview, view, and review, music lovers, and thank you.

Skidmark Heart Video Production

That's Dez and Jon shooting the park restroom scene for the Skidmark Heart video. From my various experiences in production, I now believe that a Director and Director of Photography duo is a quite clean way to go about making film. They'll be at the Harris Trucks show this Saturday to shoot a scene in front of the club and all friends are encouraged to play a subtle part in the video...

Then we'll rock out.

Goodnight Whiskey

Perhaps due to the autumn coolness and earlier sunsets, some friends have expressed their love of this song from the debut Harris Trucks EP, Throw Away Scratch. Or maybe we simply love our whiskey...

L.A. Rock Show

L.A. is a spot that I continue to haunt...

this time we arrived early and dug in at Venice Beach a few days,

sushi, walk along the surf, rehearse,

see some friends play in Hollywood a few nights before,

then, on a perfect evening, head to our own show,

enjoy the conversation with friends new and old,

and give it all for rock n roll.

And when it couldn't get much sweeter,

people I admire arrived to the party:

Jack White, Josh Homme, Alison Mosshart, Nick Olivieri,

among others, brought 500% up to 10K% as we neared dawn,

singing songs off the jukebox,

best David Lee Roth impressions / air guitar / Budweiser

- et cetera -

til the southern California cows done come home.

PHX show is coming up! i'm trying to be patient...

 

Guitar Crunch

Found myself on the couch, electric guitar unplugged, and making it vibrate against my chest, not a frequent activity truthfully.  Savor.  Discovered a new song all of a sudden!  Well, I'll get to kick out more stringed action on Saturday so something to look forward at for now.  Life is magic and causes impatience when I think about tomorrow and on and on.

Acoustic Guitar in Bathtub

I bought a guitar when I was twelve.  Guess it was my third guitar - black, Ovation acoustic.  I'm going to record a track now with this axe.  Kicking it on the edge of the tub, looking out the fire escape and setting a condenser mic up in front.  Love the way it sounds.
