Who would think that a simple cup of coffee could do much more than give you tour daily fix or quick pick me up.

Working with coffee has always made me happy. I love everything about coffee. The preperarion of quality espeseo, perfecting the art of milk preperation and latte art, the taste of differnt blends, but somthing makes the idea of a coffee house even better for me every time I think of it.

When I have a customer come up and just want their coffee and to be on their way, that’s fine and totally their choice, tho when people spark quality conversation, that’s where I’m coming from. Two people can learn so much from eachother, just over the bar. You can pick someone up if there having a bad day, and they can do the same for you.

A quality cup of coffee only STARTS with the beans. There is a awesome coffee house on the west coast called “counter culture” and I love that name becuae it’s true. It’s a culture of coffee, people and life. That is why a coffee house will always be my place to explore mind and body. And a good cup of coffee if all works out well.

Latte!

Sitting here drinking a cup of coffee, I thought it would be a good time to give everyone a update. Not a time to rant about anything or talk about any of my really in depth issues, just a update on whats going on in my life.

Good news as far as the new studio computer is concerned. I had a reformat and a install of alot of my primary production software. Time to get rolling on some new music, im finding alot of new inspiration as of late so I need to get rolling with it and shoot out some tunes fast.

the album is finally 100% complete and the artwork is in the works right now, then printing will begin. For everyone that wants a speak peek at some of the tracks head over to my myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/seanbartley.

I will also be launching a new record label in the coming months in conjunction with trackitdown.net. This will be a digiital download only record label and you will have to go to trackitdown.net to get the tracks. (for now I hope to get a contract with itunes sometime this year as well.)

Things are rocking at Journeys Coffee house. We are pleased to welcome back Ken to the crew! Will be awesome to have him back on board!

So other then Music and work, I have been trying to do a bit more of just kicking back and relaxing. Spending more time with maggie and the family. Made sure to check out premiere of 24 this past sunday and monday. What a awesome show! I dont know how much the writers of that show are getting paid but I honestly dont think its enough! It’s just brilliant! House before had on monday night too, thats going to be one awesome night of TV.

So rocking out in 2009 is going pretty well so far. Year is off to a good start, not much different then 2008, but that may be a good thing. Hope all is well with everyone els. Talk to you all soon!
