Steve Ferrone at the Turning Me Inside Out Video Shoot.

My Times

The filming for my 2nd video Turning Me Inside Out is finally completed. After many false starts, former Torontonians Neil Grieve and Jens Sturup managed to film me and Steve Ferrone at 2 different sets and some pretty cool outdoor locations in and around Hollywood.
We hope to have the finished video delivered the first week of April. I'll have more to say about the production when we complete the edit.
The photo above was taken during the set-up for Steve's filming. Click on it for a larger view.

We've had a great last 2 weeks on MP3.com.
Turning Me Inside Out reached number 1 for 4 days, and this week, Too Bloody Much is in the top 10 of the new combined Rock and Pop chart.

Record Producer, Musician and Re-mixer Eli Janney has a Digital Multi Track recording system in his portable computer. He has time to tour with his band and do a few mixes in the hotel room before the gig.
Here is an interesting story about him, his music and his tools in 2 parts:

Can we ever thank Douglas Adams enough?
Yes, it's finally arrived. Babelfish.

" Many people have asked me angrily why it is that Zaphod Beeblebrox instantly greets Ford as Ford when I had stated quite clearly that he had only changed his name to Ford Prefect when he came to Earth. It was very simple. Just before arriving he registered his new name officially at the Galactic Nomenclaturoid Office, where they had the technology to unpick his old name from the fabric of space/time and thread the new one in its place, so that to all intents and purposes his name had always been and would always be Ford Prefect. I included a footnote explaining this in the first Hitch-Hiker book, but it was cut because it was so dull. ."
[Douglas Adams, Original Radio Series Scripts, p50]
