Sunday Soul: back road to nirvana: May 10th 2009

" … my mind is going. there is no question about it. i can feel it … "

Sunday Soul: sois libre et ne cache pas rien: May 3rd 2009

” … and i killed the captain — sank the fleet — to liberate your heart beat, baby… “

Sunday Soul: it’s only mermaids on dry land: April 26th 2009

” … and you were like a mermaid… a vision swimming on your plastic sheet … “

Sunday Soul: come here go away baby: April 19th 2009

Under the loving heart’s guidance, we come together to share joy. Under the ego’s direction, we come together to share desperation. Negativity, however, cannot really be shared because it is an illusion. ‘A special relationship is a kind of union from which union is excluded.’ A relationship is not meant to be a joining at the hip of two emotional invalids. The purpose of a relationship is not for two incomplete people to become one, but rather for two complete people to join together for the greater good of what life has to offer…”

Sunday Soul: the sweetest kisses: March 22nd 2009

“…bite your neck kiss your lips, the passion of fuss- budgets in little starts and fits. dance all night, laugh all day, let’s run down to the water and fling ourselves into the bay”

Proust Questionnaire

At the end of the nineteenth century, when Marcel Proust was still in his teens, he answered a questionnaire in an English-language Confession album belonging to his friend Antoinette, daughter of future President Felix Faure. Recently I read Yyves Saint Laurent’s answers to these questions on the wall of a […]

Sunday Soul: Dubtribe: January 4th 2009

A reunion

Sunday Soul: Love, Love, Love : December 28th 2008

“To praise is to praise how one surrenders to the emptiness. We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust. We rarely hear the inward music, but we’re all dancing to it nevertheless.”

Fill up my heart

“Fill up my heart Give me your love right from the start Fill up my heart Give me your love give me your heart Fill up my heart.”

Sunday Soul: girlboyboygirl: December 21st 2008

“I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my lids and all is born again. (I think I made you up inside my head.)”

Sunday Soul: Contortionista: December 7th 2008

“These things we feel, the really painful things, are not “bad” or “good”… No, these things allow us to grow, and create space within us for more, for other things.”

Sunday Soul: HOLLOW INSIDE: November 2nd 2008

What can’t they be? Was that yellow one, lying there hollow and open, not the rind of a fruit in which the very same yellow was its more intense and darkening juice? And was this other undone by its opening, since, so exposed, its ineffable pink has picked up lilac’s […]

I wanna kiss you all over…

Heart aches, headspace, confusion, fear, hassle, tussle, nightmares, and sweet kisses… it’s been a busy week. I am more than ready to head out to Seattle for a serious get down tonight. But wherever I go, whatever I do, however I hurt, or however loud I’m laughing… it’s true baby, […]

Sunshine Jones: Live/DJ Set: Halifax Nova Scotia: October 10th 2008

Just me, all night… Yeaaahhh…

Sunshine Jones live/DJ set: October 11th 2008: Reunited, Toronto

You’re so beautiful… you could be a part time model. But you’d probably have to keep your normal job. You could spend part of your time modeling, and part of your time with me… And the rest of the time you’d be doing your normal job.

I am often late to the party when it comes to television, I end up watching things on DVD or whatever, but no one could have prepared me for Flight of the Conchords. The series is about two musicians from New Zealand who live in New york. They’re best friends, […]

Flight…

I can only seem to describe what’s happening inside of me right now in the most tedious poetry which I know that no sensible human being will ever read. Because I have no idea, because it is in process, because it is dancing all around me, light, wind, music, feelings, […]

Sunday Soul: free flight : September 14th 2008

…in essence they are all alike. The brotherhood of man consists not in thinking alike, nor in acting alike, but in aspiring to praise creation. The song of creation springs from the ruins of earthly endeavor. The outer man dies away in order to reveal the golden bird which is […]

Nothing like a little midnight Reggae rave-up to chase the monsters out from under my bed…

I couldn’t contain my grief. The day was so full of love and light. People in need, my hands reaching out, and feeling your strong fingers wrapped around mine. We pull each other up together, talk, and walk, ride, and laugh until we feel better. The power of this world […]

Sexy Dream Miracles EP – Out Now!

Released today: Sexy Dream Miracles EP I re edited three classic tunes and really enjoyed myself. 1. You sexy thing – Hot Chocolate All I really did was syncopate the track for modern DJ mixing… it’s 114 now, which seemed like a fair compromise between the original tempo and modern […]

Sunday Soul: in the stars… September 7th 2008

And at night you will look up at the stars. Where I live everything is so small that I cannot show you where my star is to be found. It is better, like that. My star will just be one of the stars, for you. And so you will love […]

Mile High: All right!

I’m out of here. Headed to Denver for the weekend. I wasn’t ultra impressed with the closing ceremony of the DNC, or Obama’s speech. I am less inspired than I wanted to be today, but who cares, right? I’m headed out to a city I love for the weekend. Michael […]

Goodnight Del

San Francisco – US Lesbian rights pioneer Del Martin, who married her partner of 55 years in one of California first same-sex weddings, died Wednesday in San Francisco of natural causes. She was 87. Thank you for your devotion to our rights. Thank you for never giving up. Life is […]

… by bringing us together and reminding us how much we share and how alike we really are.

In case you live in a cabin in the woods with out electricity, or maybe under a rock, Michelle Obama spoke on Monday night at the democratic national convention in Denver. She was the keynote speaker. I’ve got a bit of campaign direction for Obama, but that’s not why I’m […]

insight and dance

You didn’t ask, but I’ll try to explain. I’m in the middle of writing something private — something which won’t be posted here — and it’s getting to me. First because it’s difficult to see, and then because it’s difficult to feel. I can’t believe that when I first put […]

I’m gonna die if I don’t get an Access Virus Ti Snow

Of course I’m not really going to die if I don’t get one of these sexy, table top, light weight, amazing sounding synthesizers… I’ll live. But Oooh I have this feeling inside of me that I just can’t make a single scrap of progress on my new album(s) until I […]

… don’t forget

in the endless stream of thoughts, like little flecks of light dancing in the corner of my eye, feelings come… they rise, and subside… Every single bit of my heart is alive and awake in a dance. I never worry about how delicate I am, how easy it is to […]

Sunshine Jones, Doc Martin, and Sublevel Live! September 20th 2008, Los Angeles!

Just us. All night. Come on!!!!

Like the ashes in the glasses on the floor after a long night of thinking…

I feel the blood seeping out from the cracks of my heart… in a perverse way it feels warm as it spreads over my t-shirt, soaking my sweater, and dripping from the hem to the floor. I don’t know why there’s no sun in the sky, but I keep coming […]

Sunday Soul: Do you know how beautiful you are? : August 10th 2008

Well do you?

Travelogue: Halifax – Fin

We were out on the sidewalk talking about serious things. I made a few dear and unforgettable friends on this trip. I looked each one of them in the eye and offered my friendship to each one of them. I don’t want Nick, Sarah, or Amanda to fade into people […]

Travelogue: Halifax Day Three and Four

I woke up late. It was after 2 and the sun was up. Everything had changed in the world. The sun was out, the dark beach was bright, the sky was blue, and the cool evening was hot. Only the breeze remained to assure me that I was in the […]

Travelogue – Halifax, day two

I woke up about 45 minutes after I went to sleep. Nothing woke me up, in that there was no sudden noise, no dream I remember, no disturbance. I was awake again. Nick’s apartment is compact and close, the fans whirred, the air flowed in through the open windows, and […]

Sunshine Jones: Halifax Reunion: August 2nd 2008

A retreat, a reunion, somewhere in the mountains beyond Halifax, Nova Scotia. Invitation only… Wish you were here.

Sunshine Jones Live/DJ set featuring Michael Sultan on percussion Fourfeet with Chuck Love and Jason Lovejoy! Bar Strandard, Denver Friday August 29th 2008 Yeeaah….

How about a little political optimism?

After seven and a half years of conservative leadership in the United States I think it’s safe to say that the American people are exhausted. We’ve survived the smug self-righteousness of the conservatives, blunted our ears and minds to the endless propaganda streaming from Fox news, CSPAN, stared blankly as […]

Delicate Boy

I am a delicate boy. Strong, loud, and at times as difficult as a pamphlet, but slender, tender, and as light as a feather too. When I am in transition people tend to stay away from me. What can you say? What can you do? I called a friend yesterday […]

Gladys Knight at the Pips saved my life

I was rounding the corner of Webster onto Haight street. I live in the lower haight, and this is my neighborhood. It’s a complex situation here these days… new life, fancy people with money awkwardly blended with the life long residents and hold outs from a time when the lower […]

a little praise from the source

I came home tonight to find this waiting for me on my desktop. I can’t tell you how thrilled I was. Yaay!

Soñando Contigo – Sunshine Jones Extended Remix

Kiko Navarro asked me about 6 months ago if I would be interested in remixing a couple of his songs. Soñando Contigo is one of my all time, hands down, favorite house tracks. I insist on playing it at -4 (or slower) and often spend much longer than I really […]

Radio Silence

At the end of his life, Senator Marchese Guglielmo Marconi, president of the Royal Academy of Italy, Member of the Fascist Grand Council wondered if he had done the world some good, or if he had added a menace. The Nobel Laureate invented the radio, operating a two-circuit transmitter he […]

Love you inside out

The brother’s Gibb have returned as a little theme in my life this week. A string part from somewhere way down deep inside my head… A passing Lincoln blasting Night Fever — three women in sunday dresses singing along — left me walking and spinning and singing along hours after […]

A week out east…

Sunday morning I am flying away to Florida for the week. I’m playing a live – dj set at Jask and Chang’s bi-weekly gathering called The Sunday Sermon at the Kenedy in Tampa. It’s memorial day weekend, so it looks like this is going to be a complete blow out. […]

Look who’s number one on Doc Martin’s chart!

It feels so good to know that DJ’s I’ve known and loved for decades are playing my records, and digging my sound. Nothing makes me happier, or feel a deeper sense of community and purpose than knowing my tracks are of use in a great DJ’s sets every weekend, in […]

Sunshine Jones: Sunday Sermon, May 25th 2008: Tampa Flordia

This sunday I’ll be in Tampa with Jask and Change getting down at the Sunday Sermon. Jask and I talked about it being possible to broadcast the night on 90hz instead of sunday soul. I’m still checking that out. Fingers crossed.

Spare change?

I know I’m probably taking this a little too literally (or am I reading too much into it?) but I don’t know how I’m supposed to respond to the new House Republican’s slogan. In a season of calls for change, democratic contests, encouraging numbers of people expressing hope, a sincere […]

Unbreakable Heart

He arrived at the ferry dock. In the hours before dawn it was almost warm, as if the sun might soon rise and lift the heavy smell of the sea, drying the slippery wetness below his sandals. He knew better, that the instinct was left over from years of living […]

Sunday Soul: 112 : April 27th 2008

Expats and Traitors alike

Jens Andersson & Alexander Berg appear to be a pair of serious weirdos from Stockholm. The best I could do in terms of researching them has been to spend a while watching a very strange video on their homepage which neither appears to do much of anything, nor link to […]

Sunday Soul: Bomboniere: April 20th 2008

Join me again this sunday from a terrace in Hollywood, this time with my microphone, delays, mixer and everything, for a celebration of the things love leaves behind when it leaves the room, when it leaves us breathless, when it returns to us, tingling our toes, lighting up our lives. […]

A West Coast Weekend

Friday night I’m playing in Seattle. Jizosh and Matt Corwine have put their heads together and invited me up to the night at the Capitol Hill Arts Center called Electric Avenue. I’ll be playing a live/dj set with Matt, Josh, and Peter Evans. It’s only $7 and it should be […]

Why Hillary Clinton should never “step down”

Thirty Tracks that rocked my box in 2007

2007 is about to flicker out… I can’t say I am sad to see it go, I keep chanting to myself in moments of pure shock at the world around me “Only 11 more months baby… 11 more months” which usually produces a smile on my face, and everyone around […]

Higher and higher

I spent the last couple of days in my studio drumming, bass playing, and singing. Working on songs which don’t loop. At least not in the sense that I play a couple of measures and loop them over and over. Repetition is still a huge piece of why music makes […]
