Spacey & Shakin' turns 20 today.

I had to tune in to social media after a 5 month break to soak up all the birthday wishes. Thanks y'all! Spent part of the day in a tree net about 30' in the air. Also made a tea bowl with the help of my pal Esteban, who shares my bday. And those of you in the NW know our special day was super lovely. Plus Daylight savings began. Bonus! I am very happy to report that my health situation is trending in the right direction, albeit slowly. My energy has improved enough that when I am enjoying an uptick, I am able to get a decent amount of work done in the studio. I am chipping away at finishing up a single for Moody Little Sister in time for their upcoming tour. Also, Elaine and I have been tending to some songwriting. My "healing retreats" to the Oregon coast birthed a slew of new song seeds. 1% inspiration... check. Now it's time for 99% perspiration—lyrics etc. One more click up in energy and I'll be ready to play a house concert or two. Or twenty. To be in the loop, sign up for my newsletter on my website. Thanks again for all the bday love, folks! I'm going to go back to my social media fasting soon. (If you've ever considered taking a break, I highly recommend it.) Peace & Love, Pete

Daniel Lanois show at The Crocodile kept me up past my bedtime. It was a beautiful show with just he an Rocco DeLuca as a duo. Especially lovely were the steel instrumentals. #daniellanois #roccodeluca #thecrocodile

As promised, here is a shot of Brendan O'Brien and I during the Necktie Second sessions at Southern Tracks in Atlanta, 1993. #tbt #brendanobrien #southerntracks #studiolife

On this day in 1994 my debut album, Necktie Second, was released on American Recordings. The other day driving across sunny Vashon Island, I heard “Sunspot Stopwatch” on the radio. It’s cool that all these years later, the record is still receiving a bit of airplay! Thanks KBCS! I really enjoyed hearing the song—didn’t cringe at all. It sounded pretty timeless to me, thanks to Brendan O’Brien’s production and Russ Fowler's engineering. The lyrics are certainly more mean-spirited than anything I’d write today, but I still like them. I remember Brendan cutting the bass on this track like it was yesterday. It was an old Burns bass with a switch on it marked “Wild Dog.” How could you go wrong with that? Anyway… think I may try and dig up some photos from the Necktie sessions for TBT tomorrow. #kbcs #onthisday #brendanobrien #russfowler

10 minute track gives me time to go outside and hang out under the maple tree while printing stems. For you non-studio dorks, stems are individual elements of a track printed separately. Sometimes these are used if a remix is required. In this case I am going to craft a whole new track or two or more from these elements. #ambientmusic #studiolife #vashonlife #looper
