Brian Mitchell, Donald Fagen, Jay Collins, Steven Bernstein and Erik Lawrence playing the Helm Family Midnight Ramble, last night at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock. A Pinch Me night of collaboration and commitment to the music.

Here’s a quick draw from my sketchbook of Superman. I’ve seen the movie twice now and really quite love it.

I really would like to see them, and I bet it would be great—in ways both Meta and Being Here Now—but reading, in the New York Times, the notion that Oasis was ever in the business to “flatly reject nostalgia” made me spit out my English tea.

For the first five minutes after I finish making an animated music video, I swear I never want to do another. Immediately after that time has passed—right at the 5:01 second mark—I am anxious to start a new one. Does this mean, I just finished a new one and five minutes has passed? Yes, it does.

Sometimes, it seems the drawings appear like they were already there. That’s usually because the music is transcendent and carries the pen. That’s how it was last night at Levon Helm Studios during Mark Erelli’s set (with piano accompaniment from his son, Owen).
