Things have been very busy lately. The hot summer has arrived in Burbank...

I completed recording for Susie Chin's upcoming CD Shameless, due for release in September. We ended up finishing 8 tracks.

At Drumroll we've been working on a Cassandra Denver solo album; new tracks for Zuhdi and Frank; new tracks for the upcoming Steve Ferrone CD; Kim Crain CD; Nils and Dov and my own upcoming CD. We've also had Jeff Young of Jackson Browne's band and Jason Scheff from Chicago in the studio...

This past month we have been writing and recording the score for a film called Puzzle which stars David Carradine.

Last month I completed another promo parody for Linspire.

Last week I did an interview for a BBC show called Liquid Assets about Duran Duran which should air in the autumn...

In the USA the 911 Commission released their report on the attacks and the aftermath of September 11, 2001. Other than calling the state of emergency services in New York City "scandalous", the rest of the report follows the same tired press release history we are accustomed to reading form the Bushies. Gee, if they had me dress like a woman and deprived me of sleep I'm sure I could come up with a story that would meet their requirements...will we ever know who did it?

The Democrats, the other party, are revving it up in Boston this week. Emily and Jason are there filming and interviewing at the convention while representing our Foundation Awake Community.

Every once in a while a little jewel of a story slips under the rug.
See this Testimony from a VP of UNOCAL to the House Committee on International Relations from 1998:

The Need For Multiple Pipeline Routes for Central Asian Oil and Gas.

and the MAP.

But it had nothing to do with oil...
