Earlier this month, I received an email from my brother Peter about contributing to the La Musica Coolica feature of Jake’s New Blog. He told me that my commentary about music was getting tired, and needed to be refreshed. Hahahaha. He didn’t really tell me that. But he did offer to chime in with some track selections and commentary of his own. Of course I gladly accepted.

Doing some sort of online collab’ with my brothers is something that I have had a desire to do for quite a while. Back in the day, I registered jakensam.com, in the hopes that I could get my brother Sam to publish a flash cartoon with me, or something. As it turns out, Sam was more interested in WOW than in publishing marginally funny flash sketches. So, it never really materialized, and I let the registry lapse. Alas my excitement to collaborate in online debauchery with brothers has been renewed, with receipt of the email from Peter.

Pete, like myself is a bit of a music junkie. He will now be authoring LMC on the final Tuesdays of the month (possibly more), starting January 26, 2010.

By way of  background, my brother Peter Breinholt, is not he balding musician from Salt Lake City. He is the apron wearing accident magnet from San Diego (for another week). Pete and his wife are in the process of moving from San Diego to Salt Lake, so that they can be near our other siblings with their new baby, while he finishes his undergraduate studies. He is a great guy, who isn’t afraid to get creative with his facial hair. He has a technical understanding of precision photography that I am extremely envious of. He is well read, and thoroughly versed in the various ways to turn java from a bean into a delicious beverage. He is no stranger to the ER, with more first-person accounts of possibly life-threatening pedestrian-auto accidents (always playing the role of pedestrian), than most stunt men.  Also, his initials are PJB, the same as Piper. So, you know he’s cool. You can read more about his latest developments on his blog Idiotbook.
