Something happened over the last year or so and I started really appreciating watches. As a computer musician and dj I’ve felt a more emotional appreciation for precise time-telling, even though my wife tells me I’m “time-blind”. My daily driver right now is the Vaer D5 Tropic Automatic, I love the tuxedo dial and roulette red date window. Plus it was designed in California and assembled in Arizona just like me!

I’ve been into collecting watches for a while now, the different movements and complications are fascinating. I love the vintage dial styles, picking up the ones they that are interesting to me and fit my daily aesthetic. Some of the brands I enjoy are 70’s era Movado’s with the Zenith dial, of course Rolex, Seiko, and omega’s. When on tour, I get the chance to hit little shops in search of new pieces.

I’ve been wanting to start wearing watches again. When I started traveling / touring - way back before cell phones were ubiquitous, online shopping possible, and the über-rapid expansion of global “sameness” hadn’t snuck up on us yet - I looked forward to going to new cities or countries and…shopping! New (well, often vintage, actually…) unique shoes, or jackets, or bags, or watches; functional souvenirs to remember where I’ve been and what I’ve done. I miss that. Anyway, either nostalgia for a time long-gone (or maybe nostalgia for a watch-wearing dad long-gone) has made me want to start wearing watches again. Look at this killer Swatch watch I got!

This place became my band’s and my comfort spot in Berlin while we were homebasing it there this summer. The Frisch gestrudeltes Softeis aus Brandenburger Büffelmilch (with shortbread cookies and olive oil, with or without the lemon curd) is the best ice cream I’ve ever had. My mother in law keeps chasing the dragon in Manhattan trying to find a comparable one. Her search continues.

One of the last times we had a full house at our place upstate I realized that we could plug a couple of microphones into the hereseys and surf youtube for karaoke instrumentals on the projector. We turned our karaoke machine on and didn’t turn it off for 6 hours. When I woke up the next morning my voice was surprisingly intact but I was the embodiment of the icy hot glowing red neck pain diagram from head-banging to nine inch nails and evanescence.
