Mike Watt on Dirty Laundry

The new episode of Dirty Laundry is now up.  Our guest this week is Mike Watt, formerly of the Minutemen, Firehose and most recently Iggy Pop and the Stooges.  The Mike Watt interview is in four parts — the first two are posted this week.  Thanks to Malia James, Maura Milan, Eric Pritchard, Niv Gat and Mark Galliano for a job well done.  And thanks to Mike Watt for inviting us down to San Pedro and being such an awesome interview subject.

Dirty Laundry is finally up

It’s been a long time coming - but the Dirty Laundry web series is finally up and running. Check out the interview with guitar hero-ine Marnie Stern, who is kicking off our first episode.  Thanks a bunch to Malia James, who, in addition to hosting Dirty Laundry, is an accomplished photographer and bass player.   Also thanks to Maura Milan and Matt Chavez for their camerawork.  And editors extraordinaire Eric Pritchard and Matt Smith.  Producers Niv Gat and Danny Young were a great help as was Mark Galliano.  And finally, Aaron Thacker who created the site and the graphics for the show.  Next week it’s Mike Watt and in coming weeks we’ve got Cursive, Crystal Antlers and, as they say, much much more.

Beyond Apollo film website launches

The site for the upcoming film version of  Beyond Apollo is now up.  I wrote the screenplay based on the acclaimed novel of the same name and I’m also the director on the project, which is currently in pre-production.  Thanks to Caspar Newbolt and the whole crew at Version Industries for the amazing job on the site, which has already started getting some nice attention.
