Oh No!


You probably expected bad news in this post with a title like this, but I was just sad I couldn’t post the last part of my week long list until tomorrow.  I really thought I’d get it all in, but I guess not.  Why?  Well, today was a ridiculously good day for LemonDrop progress, as [...]

My Top 10 Albums of the Moment: Part 1


Alright! Everyone love lists, so I decided to stretch one throughout the week. I basically came up as an idea for the list after I lost count of how many times I was asked exactly what I was listening at the moment. So, I said screw it, this top 10 list was [...]

LemonDrop Start Up Show Tonight! + New Band of Horses


I don’t know whether to be incredibly excited, nervous, or just relieved, but the last two weeks of work are about to pay off. Tonight our LemonDrop benefit show is finally here and I can’t wait. I’m learning how to run a record label every step of the way, and this was a [...]

LemonDrop Update


Honestly, I’m blown away by the two poster designs my friends made for our upcoming show.  I wanted a variety of poster designs for this first show, so I talked to two of my graphic design friends and boy did they ever come through with some great designs.  You’ve already seen Jeremy’s vintage design.  Those [...]

LemonDrop is almost upon us!


I’ve been super busy all week with LemonDrop stuff and I couldn’t be happier to finally be saying that.  My good friend back in KC designed that tasty promo poster for our upcoming LemonDrop Showcase show next Thursday.  I’ve also got a new friend of mine Casey working on another poster design I think we’ll [...]

“Worth the Wait” – a new song


This summer’s been insane and kept me super busy, so writing songs wasn’t exactly on the top of my list of things to do, but now that I’ve got more time to myself again, I decided it was a good time to start up again. I originally wrote this song to be a part [...]

I answer a question for Playmusic Magazine


While I’ve been a bit helpless regarding the development of our label’s website, I have been doing my part in making connections and simply getting the word out to anyone and everyone.  With the label has come some unexpected opportunities to talk to people I never thought I would and be featured in some pretty [...]

NPR Fights the RIAA


I wrote this today for the LemonDrop blog and figured it fits here just as well and might interest my readers as well.
I worked 56 hours from last Sunday until Thursday.  You can imagine how tired I was by the time Friday rolled around and I couldn’t exactly roll myself out of bed, but today [...]

LemonDrop Recording Finally Begins + Some Links


I’m absolutely exhausted.  Two straight days working for my uncle renovating his stairs and bedroom, tearing out the drywall and gutting everything.  I’ve been standing around with a camera so far this summer, so two days of intense manual labor took everything out of me.  But, more exciting than me being tired all the time [...]

LemonDrop Records – The Revolution Begins!

Well, all of Charlie’s hard work is starting to pay off.  He’s got the website up and running and our first band, the Spacetones, and Charlie’s good friends, are being recorded as we speak.  I honestly could not be more excited to get this all started.  For the time being, the site will [...]
