Two things:
1. In case anyone doesn’t know, there are sweet White Limousine t-shirts at the marketplace now. The other night Duncan was all “What happened to the White Limo shirts?” and I was all “Good question…”, and, lo and behold, Todd and Jerrod were way ahead of us and had already put them […]
I have always enjoyed reading Mr. Fukuyama who, even though he was a neocon policy wonk, always seemed lucid and insightful in his writings. His new book, “America at the Crossroads” is no exception, and the fact that he has bravely spoken out about the wrong-headednesss of our administration’s recent forign policy is, to […]
I’m in Spring Awakening rehearsals everyday so my focus is a bit narrow at the moment, I’m afraid. Sooooo…tell me anything interesting: this is the first ever official DS.com open thread.
Cheers,
DS
Duncan’s out on the left coast for a few days. San Fran show is tomorrow night, so to all those attending: have fun, and show him the love. I think he’s also catching some Nero shows while he’s out there.
Before he left, we sorted through the remixes people have sent in […]
O.K. ?h Thanks to Todd and Peter’s tireless efforts, limoremix.com is up and running. Even if you don’t have a remix of your own to send in, please go check out Jamie Myerson’s “I Don’t Believe In Ghosts” in the upper right hand corner of the page ?h I like it better than mine. […]
1) In reference to the previous post: just because Peter is capable (and all too willing) to perform intellectual smackdowns on people who post less than legit responses, doesn’t mean that anyone should be afraid of posting their own opinion about any of my posts. Come on, it only gets interesting when people […]
Go see V for Vendetta. There are some ideological problems with the film, but I think it’s important for pop culture cinema to articulate a sense of outrage at the creeping facism of our times. (Cue outraged pajamas media types.) Also, N. Portman is a very smart actress and, let’s face it, […]
Thank you guys so much for coming out to the shows these past few weeks. I hope you had fun. I certainly did. I had my first day of Spring Awakening rehearsal today. The new cast was very, very surprisingly good so it should be quite a show.
We’ll see.

I hope you guys are working on your remixes because Todd, Peter and myself are getting ready to launch the “White Limousine Remix Area” very soon. The initial plan is for people to upload their remixes to the new site where they will be reviewed by a top secret arbitration committee and the ones […]
The issues the iTunes Music Store was having with White Limousine have been remedied. Everyone can now head over to iTunes and (legally) download the record with wild abandon.
Also, if you buy the whole album from iTunes, you get “In This Town” as an iTunes-only bonus track. That’s what’s known as […]
It is not really appropriate for me to comment on the reviews for White Limo, but I have to say that I do appreciate “deek md’s” take on the “polarization” that seems to be going on with the critical response to the record (you’ll find his post on sheikfreik.com). Even though I didn’t understand […]
Hi,
So it seems that there is a little confusion (and disgruntlement) with respect to the software situation on the “YOURS” DVD. Let me clear a few things up. Up until the eleventh hour we were going to include the trial version of Ableton’s LIVE on the DVD itself, but due to some last […]

IN the past several years, American evangelicals, and I am one of them, have amassed greater political power than at any time in our history. But at what cost to our witness and the integrity of our message?
Recently, I took a few days to […]
So I actually got my hands on a box of the White Limousine releases with artwork and the DVD and all that.
Rounder did a great job on the packaging (IMHO) so I’m very pleased. Even though the record isn’t out until next week we do have it for sale at the shows … just […]
In several cities along the “White Limousine Tour” tickets will be auctioned off via Ebay for a pre-show wine tasting and Q&A with Duncan. The first one announced is at the Dallas show at Gypsy Tea Room at 5PM on 1/25.
We’re bringing in the local wine rep to conduct the tasting and you can […]

Though “Nero” is not a musical by any stretch, it does have six songs for which I wrote the music.
And it’s very political … so everyone get your claws out. : )
It’s one of those days … I’m trying to finish an indie movie score, get the songs done for “Nero”, get Chris Garneau’s record further along and get ready for the tour. Best case scenario - not gonna happen. But we do try. (and Peter is helping) I hope most of you […]
O.K. it’s been fun reading all the back and forth but … let’s give it a rest for a minute.
I hope everyone has an amazing new year … peace, love, and all that.

OohKay, I know some feathers have been ruffled vis a vis the lyrics in “Star-field on Red Lines”. So, before it gets out of hand here is where I’m coming from …
First off, the title is simply a description of the American flag - a field of stars on top of red lines. […]
So yesterday was the official “add-date” at radio for White Limousine and it was first or second most added at the AAA radio format (depending on which chart you look at). That’s a great first week so thanks to everyone who called in to their station to hear it. I’m in the […]
