1. You should read these periodically to get a sense of how much simpler life was 3000 years ago. Seriously, there’s no “Thou shalt not drive in the HOV lane alone” or “Thou shall pay thine artists for the music they hath created” or “Thou Shalt Thinkest Global and Actest Local” or anything. 2. Most […]
I know you like to show off your flash-movie-making skills. I know it’s tons of fun to make images fade in and out, and to make text scroll across the screen. I know this kind of stuff makes your clients pop like 1,000 boners and fall over themselves to give you more work. But you […]

Andrew shows his producer chops on Deliberate, when he told me to sing as quietly as possible, and we double-tracked the vocals, for […]
The LGPS was born at around 3:00 AM after a long night of drinking, when Andrew and I decided to write an ode (on Deck II, which dates it at around, like 1996-7ish?) to our favorite late night diner, the New Purity (back when it was on 7th & union – I think that space […]
This is an album Trevor made of songs from the last (or should I say, most-current) incarnation of Secretariat. I did a lot of the backup vocals, as well as contributed to the arrangements (as did Stephen, Stacin, and Ryan). Funny story about the lyrics of Wonderin’ – Ryan had kept mishearing one lyric as […]
You had it for a while, and then you blew it. I hope you enjoy antagonizing your viewers in your show’s Sopranos-esque progression to irrelevance. Sincerely, Your frustrated-to-the-point-of-apathy audience
