We have a couple of videos in progress at the moment. A young film maker in the Philippines is hard at work on a clip for "Until." We sent him some footage of Molly and I performing the song live, and he's weaving that into a story starring a renowned TV actress from his country. It's pretty exciting. Here's a link with more info -

Swan Dive fans, we need you! Any of you out there who are budding - or fully bloomed - video makers, we'd love to have you do a clip for a song on the new album. Our labels in Korea and Thailand are clamoring for a video to show on their local music television stations. We don't have the equipment to make one ourselves, but we're hoping you might. If you're interested, email us for more info and an mp3 at swandive33@bellsouth.net

Other exciting tidbits: "Tender Love," a song I wrote with Jill Sobule and Robin Eaton, will be featured on an episode of this season's The L Word. . . and "Benny's Grave," a song that Molly and I wrote together for the first Swan Dive album, will be used in a Samsung commercial in Korea.
Hope everybody's enjoying the cooler weather.

The bossa nova album is coming along nicely. Working at home has been a fun challenge, especially since I live very near to both a fire station and a hospital. Maybe we should call the record Emergency. We've now got drum, percussion and guitar tracks for thirteen songs, and have just started cutting vocals. Once those are done, we plan to take my trusty little Powerbook into a real studio for overdubs and mixing. For all you bilingual fans, the record features songs in Portuguese and French. More to come . . .

Sorry it's been a while since our last update. I've been writing lots of new songs, in Nashville and Toronto, with Don Henry, Angela Kaset, Jason White, Jedd Hughes, Daniel Tashian, Justin Gray and Boo Hewerdine.
This week, Molly and I started recording our long-dreamed of bossa nova album. We hope to have it finished by early autumn. More updates to come.
Hope you're having a great summer.
