Embarrassingly Crazed

First off,
This blog is waaaay late. I've managed to get some terrible head cold and haven't felt like doing anything, let alone wash my ass. So, I apologize for the tardiness.

OK

So the Asobi Seksu show didn't go as well as I planned and practiced, but it still was a good show. My keyboard was acting funny and eventually died mid-set. I was forced to skip a whole song because of this. I pretty much messed something up on every single song that I played. But it still was a good show. I had a lot of positive feedback from the audience, of which I'm greatly appreciative, and Yuki and James even had some nice things to say about my set. That pretty much meant the world to me.

But my keyboard...

After several diagnostic attempts I figured out what happened. First, I left my S-composite to 1/4th stereo cable at the house and didn't have it for the show. So I was forced to not only use a mono instrument cable for my set, the keyboard also had to share the input on my mixer with the microphone. Which also explained a few glitches I was having with the mic.

Second, my dumb ass let the keyboard run out of batteries.

Ahh.. it's the simple things.

I should probably buy another 9 volt adapter for my keyboard, but I honestly don't feel like it. It's probably time for me to get a new keyboard anyway. I've only had it since I was 15 years old. So if it actually did die, it's probably it's time...

Back to Asobi Seksu...

So when Yuki came over to talk to me after the show, I was pretty intoxicated at this point, embarrassing isn't the correct word to use. I went from a respectable performer to a stupidly crazed fan in less than a second. I honestly don't remember what exactly I said to her, but I was raging on and on about how awesome her drummer is/was while telling her, "I don't shake hands, I give hugs!"

Full embrace. *** Yuki probably thinking, "Ok...let go of me..." ***


I think it was then when I realized just how petite she is...

And that was probably when she decided to walk away from me.

Larry, the drummer I was raving to Yuki about (as if she didn't already know), came over and I "crazed fan-ed" his ear off for faaarr too long. But I just had to let him know that his talents weren't unnoticed. The dude has the most beautiful falsetto I've heard in a long, long time and can sing as high as Yuki. I mean c'mon! That deserves some mad props!


ANYWAY,

If you have nothing planned for this Saturday, you should head over to Floating Laboratories for Bill Tucker's CD Release show in Stl.

Facebook event here!

Hopefully by then this head cold will be gone and I won't be forced to play a instrumental set.

Fingers crossed!


Also if you live in StL, tune into KDHX on the 4th of March around 9pm to hear me play live on the Space Parlor show. There might be an interview as well. Let's wish for no stuttering!!

Photo M&M's

Soooo


I'm gearing up the Asobi Seksu show this Thursday...I hope to see some of you there. I bought some M&M's just for this event. I'm not much for Valentines Day...as a matter of fact, if you know me at all, I absolutely hate that "holiday". But I did muster up a little "mush" for the show. I think it fits just fine. Check it...




It actually matches the buttons I have, but unfortunately will not be giving away at the show. My supplier has had a run of bad luck and I pretty sure they won't get shipped in time. Oh well...

But, I have a pretty sweet photo shoot lined up this coming Saturday. I still need to do a bit of ground work to find outlets in the crazy outside environment, but even if that doesn't pan out, I'm pretty excited. I'll speak of the photographer, and the like, when I have the prints in my hand. I don't want to jinx this.

It's going to be soo phenomenal...

...especially if I can get my hair as big as possible...


And Bill Tucker is coming down to StL again to promote the release of his newest album "Mythological Creatures". Here's a little video featuring bits of it from when .e and I played in Chicago.



The bill includes:
Bill Tucker
.e
Alberto Patino and Dave Stone Due
Syna So Pro
@ Floating Laboratories

And I could blab on about a few more things...

Ok,

What to say...what to say...

My New Years Resolutions are still holding strong. Yes it's only been 3 weeks but you know...it can be tough.

All you digifreaks can get my album on either iTunes, Napster, or Rhapsody...I find it hilarious that Rhapsody has it listed as "Alternative/Punk"

My demo titled "Numbers" was played on Dirty Radio a while back... I forgot to mention that I went internet radio as well. Oops. The people who are on my Mailing List are the only ones who's heard this song. Just perks of signing up...

I'm opening for Asobi Seksu on the 4th of February at the Old Rock House. It's a Thursday and I think tickets are $12 in advance but $14 at the door. Pretty effing steep I know. I don't know how else to encourage you to come to this show other than offering you a bunch of cool shit (T-shirt-Buttons-Stickers-M&M's-My Album) for $5. And if you have all of that already, I will be busting a new tune or two at this show. I really, really hope to see some of you there. Not only for me, but Asobi Seksu is the shhhhh...

This Saturday will mark the 1st Annual Empty Pocket Music Feast & Swap Meet. There's a ton of awesome artist playing as well as delicious foods, indie clothing, and tubular art.

...who says tubular anymore?

Check it.
