About Me


JOIN THE LOST DOG RECORDS MAILING LIST:
Wishnefsky's second solo record, SinTax, is done!
The songs on SinTax address one of the seven deadly sins: avarice. Wishnefsky spins tales about the participants on both sides of the table: the givers and the takers, and the dichotomy we all feel when confronted with equations containing both happiness and materialism. Wishnefsky takes us for a ride through places where greed governs and the characters struggle to overcome, or finally succumb to, their lust for riches.
Besides writing and producing all the songs, Wishnefsky provided vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards, and programming.
Michael James (Hole, Jane’s Addiction, Too Much Joy, New Radicals) mixed SinTax. Michael also played guitar on Lot Line Adjustment and Oh.
Eric Sands of the progressive rock band Man On Fire played fretless bass on the song Oh.
Sophie Wellen sang back up vocals on Bait and Switch.
The CD artwork features the work of two award-winning photographers: Serena Wellen and Ed Nahin.
Wishnefsky founded the alternative band Jabberwock in the early 90s. He was the primary songwriter and lead vocalist. He plays guitar, bass, and keyboards.
After Jabberwock broke up in 1997, Wishnefsky took a break from the rigors of the music business in order to focus on the rigors of parenthood and recapturing what was left of his sanity. Along the way, he continued to write and record a plethora of material. In 1999, he moved his home studio from the world of analog to the universe of digital. That culminated in Wishnefsky's first solo effort Use Your Words.
Use Your Words picks up where Jabberwock left off and heads in a more electronic based direction, but still alternative rock with intelligent and poetic lyrics, inventive arrangements, passionate and powerful performances, and a creative spark or two.
You can listen to Use Your Words HERE .
You can buy Use Your Words at iTunes and CD Baby .
Wishnefsky also leads the band Veneer - the outlet for his piano based songs. You can listen to Veneer HERE .

The 4th branch snaps and Hockey Mom falls to the ground like rotten fruit

I thought the moderator tonight mostly sucked because she jumped from topic to topic with little follow up and never called out Palin for evading questions or challenged her on her moronic statements ...
