I recently got to spend a week and half traveling with my wife in Italy. We were celebrating our 5th anniversary by doing something we’ve always dreamed of doing. It was incredible. Our favorite part was our 3 nights in Riomaggiore (one of 5 small towns along the Ligurian coast collectively known as the Cinque […]

Sometimes there’s a very blurry line between my hobbies, my interests, and what I get paid to do. I have a handful of hobbies and interests that don’t contribute directly to my bottom line, but I consider them to be just as important as what I do for a living. Even the various things I

I thought these guys did a good job walking through some significant developments in audio production over the years. It’s interesting to see 100 years of progress in just 5 and a half minutes. I’m thankful for how far things have. I can’t see myself recording music back in the days of the gramophone, but

I’ve posted here about 3 Artists 1 Yard before in the past, and I’m excited to be a part of another one this Saturday night! Come hang out with us. Bring a friend, or just make new ones when you get there. By the way, my wife has designed the flyers for the last few
Twenty new songs from one of my favorite artists, Beck. No CD, no digital download, in fact there’s no recording at all; it’s being released only as sheet music. Now, if I’m speaking as a music listener, this concept seems a little frustrating. It’s been 4 years since his last album, and I’m ready to
Last week my washing machine broke. Again. About six months ago, I paid a guy to come fix it, so I wasn’t really keen on paying again so soon. Now, I’ve always had a DIY attitude. I roast my own coffee, repair my own mics and mic cables, I’ve built my own guitar amp, I

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the value of quiet in my daily (or at least weekly) routine. I often brag that I’ve never had cable since becoming an adult, as if it means I have better things to do with my time. But the truth is over the last few years, my free
A Christmas Suite by Noah Glenn Last night, I was sorting, organizing, and updating some of my music on bandcamp, and I remembered this EP I recorded last Christmas. It features the only original Christmas song I’ve ever written, “Christmas Sweaters.” I’m actually really proud of the song, so it makes me a little sad
I’m trying to do a better job about updating this blog with what I’ve been doing, and since January a big part of what I’ve been doing has to do with www.choose901.com. It’s an effort to recruit more talented young people to the city of Memphis for the benefit of the city. The more young
