I wrote a children's book with my friend Jess! It's called Positively Bleecker Street and is about walking down Bleecker Street and the things that happen there. The first printing was 10 copies but I think I've already gotten more requests than that so we'll probably be making some more. Naomi helped me bind the first ones today with a stab binding, which looks great. Let me know soon if you want to buy one, they cost $15.
I don't know when the next ones will exist but you can read it right now at positivelybleeckerstreet.com! (Link works now!)
Here it is in the store:

Thunder Thunder Thunder
I'm making a new album. I usually write the whole thing and then record it over a few days after all of the songs are written but this time I wrote and recorded one song first to be the single so that my friend Juan could make a music video for it. I'm probably gonna record the final vocal take on that tonight or tomorrow along with a "b-side" to release as a single maybe on Sunday or Monday and record the rest of the songs over the next week or so unless I decide over the weekend that half the songs aren't good enough and start over. While I was making "Jonathan Richman" I was thinking that after that I would make a "country/folk" album but once I finished "JR" that idea seemed less exciting and I began making a "60's girl group" album. After writing those songs for a while I became more excited about "rock 'n' roll". The album, which may be called "When I Walk Among The Giants" or may be called something else, is sort of a combination of all three of these ideas although some parts might not seem to fit. Also since I haven't recorded it yet it could turn out completely different. The single is called "Thunder and Lightning", watch out!
