Side A
Burn In The Night

Side B
Cop City
Look In The Mirror

Los Angeles… ugh…WHAT ARE YOU?!? That is how this single feels to me.

Three tracks from the hot summer nights — greenish smoke billowing out from the upstairs office door of the PaxAm office, just next to the live room.
Burn In The Night is me ruminating on an old NYC love lost- and how funny it is to get older and sort of put some of that behind you- but never really getting as far behind you as you’d like. I always felt like that song was really special but it never fit anywhere. Thank goodness we make these singles.
Marshall on the drums, me on the guitar and everything else.
COP CITY- another song about the last weekend of every month in LA when all the police are out giving tickets and ALL I WANNA DO IS GET TO MY PINBALL SPOT. This was one of the jams me and Mike V made on the never-to be-released ALIEN USA album experiment with Jeremy Stacey on drums and us going for the "big sound." We found it later but here and there a few really cool tracks stood out. This one especially feels so good. Its traffic and being at the end of your rope.
LOOK IN THE MIRROR is me on everything and a song that I recorded too late to go on the 1984 record. Hey but NOT TO WORRY… soon you’ll have 1985 and 1986…. and who knows what else.
With Love,
From the early summer tour 2015
DRA
The Windsor Hotel

I keep posting 'blackhole or gtfo' on the pax am facebook page when a new single or overpriced box comes out.

I just ordered the "10 live songs from carnegie hall" vinyl. only 17 plus shipping.

Im really enjoying these concerts though.

Im so into everything Ryan Adams right now. Show at red rocks next week.

Really loving the carnegie shows.

Ashes and Fire is also much better than I originally though.

Ashes and Fire is a lovely record. 3-4 classics on it.

Saw him last night. I'm not sure if it was a normal show but he did the first four songs with his band, then played solo for an hour and wrapped the show up with two songs with the band. He was surprisingly very funny and engaging between songs. Probably the most respectful audience I've ever seen during his acoustic numbers. He has a way of pulling you into songs. He even made up a full three or four minute song on the spot based upon some between song banter with the audience.

There's still tix to the Opera House show which are calling me but I can't really justify it at the moment. Hmmm.

That'd be the show that I'd target for sure.

Sounds like the show I went to almost to a T. The making up of the song and the engagement. When RA is on his game he is tough to beat live.

Here is the song he made up when I saw him. It was hilarious.

It sounds the same as all his other covers.

This guy needs to put out Blackhole
