I want to say “Hello” to all the new visitors to my website. It seems that the updated look has brought forth a bunch of new people browsing in. I’m quite happy with the response I’ve been getting from people about the Clubhouse section. I’d love to say something overly witty and sarcastic about it, but alas, the words escape me and it won’t actually happen.

I will say that I’m currently listening to John Stewart’s America – Democracy Inaction. But this is a book you say, how can you possibly be listening to it. Well, some good natured people held a gun to John Stewart’s head and forced him to create an audiobook version. Then, somehow, Santa Claus figured I needed to be enlightened. Actually the audio is quite funny. It also makes you wonder how anything ever gets done in the country based upon all the corruption that seems to be built into the democratic process.

If you’re new to me and my music, then congratulations for actually finding my little corner of the web. I certainly appreciate your time in browsing through what I’ve created. Don’t forget to sign up for the e-mail list and get your free mp3 just for doing so! Why would I want to sign up for Jody’s e-mai list? I’ll give you two reasons: Reason 1 – You LOVE the music so much that you want to know everywhere I’m playing and what I’m doing so you can stalk me. Reason 2 – You HATE the music so much that you want to make sure that you have my schedule so that you never ever run into me ever again.

Have a great day!

Welcome to 2005 and with it, the brand new look of my website.

I’ll keep this short and sweet for today.

Enjoy the new look, and the new features – Especially the Clubhouse (but you have to be registered on my e-mail list to get in). More to be added in the next week.

Ah the end of the year has arrived. What a strange, twisted year it has been.

• I started off under the prospect of being signed to a major label deal. Then about-faced it into uncharted territory.
• I’ve become the first non-signed artist to be sold on digital download sites.
• I’ve finished a new CD “Practical Insanity” that will drop sometime in early 2005.
• I’ve assembled a great band that is pumped up to do a lot of playing in the new year and beyond.

January 2005 is looking to be very interesting. If certain things I’ve set into motion over the last several months come to fruition, I predict that it will mark the year that great things will happen to the music industry. Keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck.

To that end, I certainly wish you a fantastic New Year’s Eve and New Years! I’m going to be spending it with some great friends and someone special.

Be sure to check out the site on New Years Day 2005.

Movie Pick Of The Week: Garden State. Not exactly a brand new movie to end the year with, but it is one of the better, stranger, stronger movies I’ve seen this year. The movie is very well acted by Natalie Portman and Zach Braff. It made it’s DVD debut early this week. Do yourself a favor rent it, or better yet buy it. Then when you get finished, go do something completely original that has never been done before.
