Well folks- on the eve of my going into a studio to lay down some demos of songs for my next album, I get the news that one of my songs has been selected by Microsoft to be offered as a free download for a campaign they are running for Microsoft Windows Sponsored Songs.

What song was picked? Well none other than my lovely ditty “Lorelei” – a song that was about 7 years too late to make it into consideration for Gilmour Girls theme music. And for that I am thankful. Yet tearful.

So here’s the deal – I must make it clear that Microsoft is not sponsoring me as an artist. They just dig that tune and want to give it to you for free. And they are not making me fetch coffee for them or  rub the boils on their feet or even make claims like “Ballmer pwnz ur ass.” Peter Moore did call and say he would have gotten my name tattooed on his bicep if he still worked there. Then he snorted and cackled and made my phone disappear into a puff of smoke.

Well, the song is FREE. So go download it by clicking here:

Even if you already have the song- be awesome and download it again. Even Clippy concurs.

What is Best in Life? Downloading Lorelei!

Unless I get gored during the week by a runaway wildebeest- I’ll be playing this Sunday on June 21st at 7PM at Otto’s Shrunken Head in Manhattan. Come on down for, much like that wildebeest, it’s free! Unless it gets abducted by an alien and becomes a prime representative of our species for exploratory dissection. Thanks wildebeest! Details on the show can be found on my Tour page.

This show will also mark the first live show I’ve played with a bass player in the fold! Please welcome Joe “Joey Baby” Pepitone to the fold. He’ll be holding down the low end and I’m very excited to have him on board.

In two weeks I enter the studio to start demoing songs for my next album. The new songs are coming out great and I look forward to sharing some early recordings with you soon! This time I’ll even remove my bodily fluids from them. If you want a sneak peek soon, then come to the Otto’s show – where we’ll be unveiling at least 5 new songs. Who knows, Fred Hardcastle might even show up.

Joe Renaud, Joey Pepitone and I have been polishing these new songs up – and I think you’re in for a treat. So go to the fridge and make yourself a brownie sandwich or fried cat salad,

mmmm..... Cat Salad

then put on your reading glasses and peep these new song titles:

Show Me Tomorrow

Conversations with a Knife

The Stolen

Old Sad Laughter

Kingdoms

Wreckage of Liars

Caught in the Wheel

They’re so awesome I italicized them.

More soon, things are in the works.

Howdy pahtnahs-

Man that flu sucked. I haven’t been hit that hard by the flu in a while – and I’ve never canceled a show due to being sick before. Again I apologize for anyone who was going to come out. Look on the bright side – I didn’t give you my flu. And if you wanted it, then you’re sadistic. My next gig is on June 21 at Otto’s Shrunken Head in NYC. Details here.

In other news, I’ve recently started playing guitar in my good friend Joe Pepitone’s band, Dead Till Tuesday. I’ll be playing with them at Otto’s Shrunken Head this Sunday, June 7th. It’s an early show- We’re on at 6PM and it’s free. So Stop by if you can. Joe is a fantastic songwriter and a great performer, and it’s an honor and a hell of a lot of fun to be playing music with him. Check out his website here.

I Was Dead on Tuesday when I missed my show, Now I’m Playing with Dead Till Tuesday. Wow that sounded a lot better in my head than it looks being written out. Where’s the damn delete key? *searchhuntpeck* Fuck it. Cat probably ate it. Too lazy to put my finger down it’s throat.

More news coming soon – I’m hard at work on my Chia garden and my sculpture of the left side of Tony Danza’s face. And on new songs, but I like to order by priority.

with love

Dead Till Tuesday

So I have the flu. It sucks. I don’t think it’s of the swinular variety, but the flu is the flu. I won’t be able to play the gig at Corio tonight.

Sorry to all who were going to be there, I’ll make it up to you!

In the meantime, look- puppies!

Flues?
