Hi. It’s Dave again. From before. I just wanted to write a quick note to tell you two important things. First, the popular website Hello Giggles did a nice writeup of my book Tasteful Nudes as their “Item of the Day” yesterday and I’m really happy about it. You can read it right here.
In other important news, there’s a great writeup about my friends Tim and Brent’s guitar store Guitar Riot in Cleveland in yesterday’s Cleveland Plain Dealer. If you are into hot axes and amps and stuff, their store is the best.
Still street,
Dave Hill

Hi. It’s Dave. Let me start by saying I feel shameless telling you this, but I am now selling hardcover copies of my book Tasteful Nudes that I will personally sign from me to you, including a long, detailed note outlining our sordid past, undying admiration, and a lot of other stuff I will become convinced of as the permanent marker fumes begin to work their magic. As if all of that is not enough, I will then take this personally signed hardcover copy of my book and mail it myself at the post office near my house. I know- just let that sink in for a second. Of course, normally when someone buys something from my online store, it is pulled from the shelves in some vast warehouse thousands of miles away from my home, stuffed into a mailer by someone I’ll never meet, and shipped off to you by some goddamn machine! But these books- what with me having to sign them all- will each be handled by me, regardless of what I was doing immediately beforehand. In short, this is a rare treat that I’m sure your immune system can handle just fine. You can get your book here. Go on now- do it!
Love,
Dave Hill

Yes, you read correctly. Dave Hill’s Podcasting Incident is back for a record-setting second week in a row with Episode 79, what critics are already calling maybe the greatest episode ever, I bet. This time around, I sit down with author, accordionist, and so much more Daniel Handler, whom you no doubt know from his Lemony Snicket: A Series of Unfortunate Events book series, his new All the Wrong Questions ongoing collection, his unstoppable accordion work with Magnetic Fields, and a bunch of other awesome stuff besides the stuff I just mentioned. Strap yourself in for an incredible thrill ride as Daniel and I discuss topics including but not limited to how many keys powerful people have on their person, what Top Chef Masters host Curtis Stone is really like, Comic Con, restaurants that need to get the fuck over themselves, architecture, and about 500 other things that most people can’t even handle. As if all of that is not enough, I also play a couple new Valley Lodge hot tracks, answer important listener questions, check in with Shaina Feinberg, and hand the baton off to the great Ian Ball so he may once again blow your mind with his hot Hot Jamz. You can hear the whole thing right here. I hope you enjoy it so much. Oh, and if you haven’t had a chance to check out episode 78 with the great Mike Bocchetti, you can do that right here. Have a great day.
Stay street,
Dave Hill

Recently, the popular music-based Internet website the Talkhouse asked me to write my thoughts on the new Earth, Wind, and Fire album Now, Then, and Forever and beyond and boy did I. You can read the whole thing here.
Thanks,
Dave Hill

My friend Shaina Feinberg has just unleashed her new album “Every Day I Cha Cha Cha” on an unsuspecting public. On it, she samples classic cha-cha tracks and layers her own vocals on top of them for an experience that will make your head explode, do your best to clean it up off the floor, and then go find Shaina and thank her for taking you on this gravity-defying journey to a cha-cha-based paradise. I could keep typing, but I feel like you need to stop reading and start listening to really understand what I am talking about. You can do that right here and here. You have been warned.
Love,
Dave Hill
