On Fire

I know I'm a real late bloomer on this one, but in between breaks at the studio, I've been obsessed with the show "Rescue Me." It was my buddy Michael who suggested it to me 2 years ago. I didn't listen to him. Well, now I have and I can't stop. It's like a drug. My Netflix instant plays have never been used so frequently and I'm flying through these "Rescue Me" seasons like nothing.

Also, I think I got a couple songs out of it...nothing like burning buildings, high drama, and some sadness to provoke new music.

New record is nearly finished.

Israel

Hey Guys....It's been far too long since the last post. My apologies. I've been traveling a bit now that the new record is finished. I'm writing from Israel at the moment. I had to hop on a plane and sort of clear my head and gain some new perspective. It's been an amazing trip here with a ton of stops along the way and a couple risky days with rocket attacks down in Southern Israel (a world I am not used to in Brooklyn). I've seen it all here. When I get back to NY, I'll be finishing the new album artwork.

Tel Aviv below...many more photos on the way.

Much Love,
Alex

Throwback

Found this near Hackensack, NJ on my way to an awesome vintage furniture shop. I'm updating some apartment elements in Brooklyn. Hackensack is caught in a serious time-capsule. This old time Sears logo was just the start of it...really odd, like off the set of "Back To The Future."

....Now music.

Brooklyn Heights

I grabbed a coffee and croissant this morning and walked down to the Brooklyn Heights promenade. I do this pretty often. The view of the City is pretty spectacular and it always reminds me about the control and freedom of my days. Seeing the skyline is both amazing, gorgeous, intimidating, and comforting. But, it also is relieving to me that I am able to view this skyline while also not being trapped within it doing something that doesn't make me happy. Music does not always give me happy days nor is writer's block a comfortable thing to experience, but at the end of the day I know that it's all on me and it's all up to me. Having choices is what makes that walk to the promenade important.

And, some music usually comes of it.
