Soul II Soul - Back to Life
I live at the top of the block
No more room for trouble or fuss
Need a change, a positive change
Look, it’s me writing on the wall
I gave my first ever commencement speech to the graduating class of 2012 at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
I think I told them everything important that I knew about going out into the world and being an artist, so I may never need to give another one.

Happy Record Store Day
I wrote this four years ago, and I still believe in it, so pardon my ctrl+v:
Today is Record Store Day and if you’re in the market for some new sounds, I hope you skip the iTunes or the Best Buy & head for a locally owned shop of your choosing.
As a kid when I wasn’t browsing libraries or thrift stores, I could be found in record shops methodically searching every square inch for audio treasure. The people you meet in local stores are almost guaranteed to be 1000 times more helpful, more knowledgeable than your average corporate retail drone – and that goes for your fellow patrons as well as the staff.
Much thanks and love to friends & loved ones currently keeping their respective independent music stores alive, and to everyone else around the globe working hard every day to make sure that music geeks like moi have somewhere friendly to turn to.
Some shopping suggestions:
Charley’s 33s & CDs, Albuquerque
Sonic Boom, Seattle
Stinkweeds, Phoenix
Lou’s Records, Encinitas
