This month marks the 22nd, 14th, 11th and 9th anniversary of my Faces Down, Heartbeat Radio, Bootlegs and Please albums, respectively!
I guess I like to drop records during my birthday month. How very Virgo of me 🥂
Time is wild! I have my personal favorites among these four collections — like any fixation, some grow on you, others fade somewhat with time. But they all came from a place of genuine excitement and wonder. I’m proud to say I’ve never released anything I wasn’t deeply excited to share at the moment of conception and release 💜 For better or worse I take the full responsibility of my catalogue. If you know these or more of my albums, you do so because I really, really wanted you to hear this music.
I better update that t-shirt soon — we’re gonna need a bigger one! ⛴️
So which is your favorite of these records — and what’s your favorite song from any of these four particular albums of mine?

Low-key celebration this year cause I’m still recovering but let the record show that today I am 41 and thriving 💜🎺✨

After the grand Moulin Rouge! premiere on Wednesday I changed out of my sweat and snot-soaked costume and wore my tux for a second just so I could take this photo before ditching the afterparty and rushing home to rest. I’m glad I did, cause it’s been a roller coaster week in my little land of showbiz ✨a quick recap for my digital archives…
Monday: preview show #4, felt stiff, helpless and uncharismatic, too focused on addressing notes and hitting my marks, in my head, voice weary
Tuesday: preview show #5, trusting my gut and memory, more bold and beautiful, felt amazing
Wednesday: premiere night, woke up with stuffy nose, cold traveled to my throat with great speed, felt feverish by the time we went on, got worse from there. Voice crackled and snapped from the get go, by the end I had lost an octave and sounded like Tom Waits circa ‘83, which strangely suited my character’s development, if not the key of the songs. Got through it supported by the incredible cast and ensemble, went to bed worrying about the future
Thursday, show #2: went to the doctor, prescribed lotsa stuff to get me through next 4 shows, felt high on life and invincible at show, but knew to hold back vocally as drugs give a false sense of recovery
Friday, show #3: woke up feeling the drugs don’t work, everything heavier, short of breath, stuffy, increasingly runny nose, had a specialist put a camera down my throat to check my vocal cords, no damage but recommended eternal rest rather than 3 more shows, come showtime we were all on fire again
Saturday, show #4 & #5: felt somewhat better, old man’s occasional cough, still stuffy, runny nose still running, pretty much the whole ensemble feeling sick and/or tired at this point, but spirits were high and shows were strong
Sunday: learning sign language 🤐
Next week: 4 more shows, Thursday, Friday & Saturday. Come see us play, we’re very good 💜
