Gawker. Without instruments.

The fine folks at Gawker were kind enough to give "Pitch Perfect" a shout out today. Read their take on a cappella here.

Divisi in the 'Daily Emerald.'

Divisi (and Pitch Perfect) get the Daily Emerald treatment today. Click here to read the story, which includes Divisi's first official response to the book (as well as a marriage proposal, I think).

Soundcheck. A Cappella.


The excellent John Schaefer was kind enough to have me on his show, WNYC's Soundcheck, today to talk "Pitch Perfect." The 25-minute segment includes clips from the Hullabahoos, Divisi, the Beelzebubs and yes, even me and my old group, Cayuga's Waiters. Check it out here!

A cappella: 'Onion' style.

The new Divisi album.

Folks, the new Divisi album is out on June 7th. It's called "Roots." I had an early listen and it's fantastic. Favorite track: "Two Points for Honesty." Just when you thought you'd never want to hear another Guster a cappella cover, Divisi comes through with a winner.

Listen to clips from the album here.

And check out a live performance of "Two Points" here:
