Peep this official list of "What's Your Vice?" collaborators! ๐ Literally could not have made this album without these homies, some of whom I've been working with for over a decade and some I got to work with for the very first time on this record. Regardless, everyone brought their A-game and it was an honor to make music with all of these world-class rappers, lyricists, and producers.

Nine years agoโฆ I had big goals when I started in โ06, and one was to be in Tape Op, THE creative recording and production magazine. Itโs not an easy publication to get into, and I assumed that since I operate by my own quirky rules, it would be unlikely. Well, it was because of that uniqueness that they reached out, having heard my work. Itโs been a journey of discovery ever since, with an amazing team now beside me. I had no idea what I was doing, but I knew what I liked, and how I wanted things to sound. I knew how to put it all together sonically, even with the limitations gear-wise. How this guitar should sound and be played, and where it should go, how the drums should be played, and where they should go, etc. I stumbled into the โproducerโ thing, a term now overused in todays TikTok universe, but be that as it may. My life changed when issue #92 hit the stands, because it meant that this was, somehow, what I was meant to do, and that I no longer had to sell myself. My BIGGEST goal was, and still is, to show my daughter that with tenacity and a lot of hard work, you can achieve anything. Donโt listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. I have this memory of sitting in a friends studio in Woodstock NY in 2004, a stack of Tape Op mags by the console. As I flipped through the pages, I thought, yeah, I can do this. That friend, a legendary musician/producer told me that I couldnโt do it, and that I lacked knowledge and the tools. He wasnโt wrong, but if I listened to him then, I wouldnโt be doing it now. Weโre still friends, and I enjoyed putting it in his face lol. You must find what makes you unique, and unlearn the rules, to an extent. Iโm now an occasional contributing writer for Tape Op, having written a few features. Iโve been long planning a piece on one of my heroes, producer James William Guercio (Chicago, Dennis Wilson, Beach Boys, etc) and his beloved Caribou Ranch in Nederland, Colorado, a place and town near and dear to meโฆLast pic at AES Convention with Tape Op Crew and their DF shirts!

I met photographer Denis Semenyaka when Blue Eyed Blackbird brought him along to document their sessions. He did an incredible job, and was super easy to be around. His photographs are beautiful, capturing everyone deep in creative mode without getting in the way. That's not easy to do. Denis is now our official in house photographer, available to all DF artists, shooting in studio, and on the property, for promotional, album, and website photos. Here are a few shots from last weeks final Henry Conlon tracking session. If you'd like to bring Denis in, that can be arranged! Also, see my beautiful friend MorganEve? You know her, you love her. Well, we can also bring her in for a whole host of musical contributions. Please go to Denisโ website to see more photographs-https://www.thedayswelive.com/
Sometimes you find things on the innernets that youโve forgotten all about. This was Dirt Floor when it was in my house in 2009. The house was a funky, sprawling rambler style ranch, with a bedroom at the far end which housed the studio. The tape recorder was in a closet, which means i was in the closet, to run the machine AND play the steel.
