Read Robert Reich's Huffington Post piece on Berkeley's Measure D - Berkeley vs. Big Soda
http://www.berkeleyvsbigsoda.com/robert_reich
Read Robert Reich's Huffington Post piece on Berkeley's Measure D. Appeared in The Huffington Post. I was phoned the other night in middle of dinner by an earnest young man named Spencer, who said he was doing a survey. Rather than hang up I agreed to answer his questions. He asked me if I knew a soda tax would be on the ballot in Berkeley in November. When I said yes, he then asked whether I trusted the Berkeley city government to spend the revenues wisely. The American Beverage Association, he said.

Band Practice/Party Presents: "Dead Parents"
http://bandpracticeparty.blogspot.com/2009/07/dead-parents.html
Jul 19, 2009. Russ offers his thoughts on "Dead Parents":. Even this recording is just one more version of the song. The this-time-recording. Now Devin's mandolin riff gets to rollick along with our young lovers in their depressing escapades. But the song would be nothing without the hand claps. Who played on the recording? I met you the day that both your parents had died. You leaned into me and told me that you’d never cry. That all that you’d ever needed you had inside. All I needed to know. BP/P on t...

Band Practice/Party Presents: Berkeley and Powell Street BART stations
http://bandpracticeparty.blogspot.com/2009/10/berkeley-and-powell-street-bart.html
Oct 31, 2009. Berkeley and Powell Street BART stations. Lisa, Kate and Maya at the Powell Street BART station. The last few weeks, we have been taking our show to the public. On the evening of the 11th, we went to the Berkeley BART station and played until we were too tired/hungry to continue. We learned that we should start playing our high-energy songs right when a BART train pulls into the station and brings us a large crowd. We got the best audience reaction from "Siki, Siki Baba.". 4 My Kind Idea.

Band Practice/Party Presents: "Marcher"
http://bandpracticeparty.blogspot.com/2009/07/marcher.html
Jul 14, 2009. Marcher" is based on the novella The Beast in the Jungle. I don't want to give away the story in case you want to read it, so I'll just talk about how the song came into being. I sent the instrumental over to Lisa, who said it sounded like two people sitting on a car by a beach. Somehow that got me thinking about this story that I had read for English 45C. I remember reading The Beast in the Jungle. During lunch time one Wednesday afternoon in 2003, on a bench in front of Sproul Hall. I...

Band Practice/Party Presents: "Frankenstein"
http://bandpracticeparty.blogspot.com/2009/07/frankenstein.html
Jul 16, 2009. Frankenstein" was the first original song for Band Practice/Party! Designed to be easy to play, the song uses only four chords: G, C, F, and D. Over and over again. I guess I was also being influenced by Beirut. Who uses a lot of simple chord progressions. The lyrics are based on Mary Shelley's horror novel Frankenstein. In particular, I wanted to capture the moment that Frankenstein (the scientist) created the monster. Well, Frankenstein, you can pick up a guitar and start singing this song.

Band Practice/Party Presents: "My Kind Idea"
http://bandpracticeparty.blogspot.com/2009/07/my-kind-idea.html
Jul 13, 2009. My Kind Idea" is a love song. I guess you could also call it my idea of a good time. The lyrics were easy to write, because they simply describe some of my favorite things: drinking tea, staying in, and wandering outside. Like many of my songs, the music came first, and the filler lyrics that went along with it were: "That old sun, lucky lucky lucky sun." (I wrote the music early February 2008, shortly after Brian Wilson debuted his new album That Lucky Old Sun. Who played on the recording?

Band Practice/Party Presents: November 2009
http://bandpracticeparty.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Nov 30, 2009. Over the weekend, my cousin Kris and I filmed the music video for "Picture Yourself." We did this at my new place in San Jose- - I wanted to get some footage of the place before I started moving everything in. I suppose it's appropriate because the song talks about future events, and this empty apartment is going to be filled with objects from the future. Nov 4, 2009. Freight and Salvage open mic. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 4 My Kind Idea. BP/P on the Internets. BP/P has played at.
