I was playing pool yesterday, when my phone vibrated in my pocket. It tickled a little. It was a text message from a local number that I did not know. I don't ever... OK, rarely... use my phone. Most of the time, it is dead in my pocket and I'm a jerk for not returning calls....

We've talked about this before. My car, a 93 Mazda MX-6, now with a zero mile (actually, now 2000 miles) 97 Ford Probe engine swapped into it. Below is a picture taken back in 2005 when I first purchased it and polished it up: I recently (about two and a half months ago) put a...
I added a couple of shirts to my CafePress shop, featuring the Sour Grapes album lyrics, as seen below. I think it's pretty cool, personally. Maybe not $24 cool, but still. Give someone a reason to look at your chest while listening to Sour Grapes! Buy this crap.

If you are too lazy to download individual tracks, don't trust things that are free, or don't know what to do with digital music files, then here is the perfect opportunity for you to own your very own retail CD copy of Sour Grapes. http://www.cafepress.com/thejamesmachine.377...
As you might know, the last year or so, Chad and I have been working on some instrumental songs. We spend a lot of time arranging and composing tons of layers in these things. The newest one, which I just finished and put up on the site, is called 404. It was originally called...
This is the new face of April in the south.
Since completing the car upgrade, which was an all encompassing ordeal, I have been busying myself with a few different projects. My good friend Dan Taylor (Chunkstyle) has begun the recording of a solo album, under the name "Yes, Mayhem" which, in itself, lets you know how go...
