Hi,

Just got home from a very short run of Beck shows. They were alright, some better than others, but it's early days in this touring cycle, with somewhat minimal rehearsing. It always gets better after some real rehearsal time which we get in mid-June....as well as a couple of weeks of back-to-back shows, obviously.

We did KCRW, which for those not in the know, is a somewhat influential public radio station here in LA. Here's the link. Came out pretty good:

Just a day ago, I finished an album with The Raveonettes, and I'm very happy with it. Might be my last production gig for a while.

My wife is expecting. As soon as 1 week from now. So that's going to take me into hiding for a while, until I resume with Beck in mid-June. Exciting!

That's about it! Oh - in the "Justin's Gear" sticky thread at the top of this forum, I posted some pics of my touring rig at the moment, per a few requests.

Hope you're all well, thanks as ever for visiting.

Hey Justin, are you playing the upcoming Beck gigs, especially the July Atlanta show?

EDIT: I saw you will be out with him starting in June, so I assume you will be playing the Atlanta gig. That's awesome. I'll be there!
