The Week In Yoga

Hey Friends!

It's been an awesome week! It all started Saturday afternoon at the Banjo Jim's open mic, which is a super chill mic, lots of good talent and good pizza next door. Sunday was football and hanging out in my apartment, until I hit the Fortune Cookie Lounge Open mic, about which the less said the better, I think. But this started my stretch of playing my new song "Hey Ryan" pretty much every day this week and making sure it gets stuck in the head of everyone who hears it. Hell, I've been hearing the chorus every day since Toronto, why should I have to suffer alone?

On Monday the podcast I did at Radio Dispatch came out. Here is the link: http://www.breakthruradio.com/index.php?show=12056 Also on this podcast was Jamie Kilstein and Allison Kilkenny. Awesome!

Monday night I was performing with KILL THE BAND at the 5th anniversary party for The Happiest Medium. Congrats to Karen and Stephen and everyone at Happiest Medium!!

Tuesday was Penny's! Wednesday was Grudge Match! Thursday was the Jen Perney feature at Lucky Jack's! I've managed to be on stage every day this week. I also put up a trio of new videos from my God Tastes Like Chicken set in October.

CHEATER


NO WINGS


QUEEN BEE

new Grudge Match video!

Video of my set at Grudge Match on May 19.
I really felt like I was on fire that night. Check out how the set started!



This is my song "Cheater". It's gonna be on my album.

EDIT/UPDATE! New video has surfaced... this is my song Humor. I thought this video was gone forever but I rescued it from the bowels of my computer (i.e. iMovie). this is how my Grudge Match Set continued. The last song I played was Urban Planning. I have video of that too but I'm not gonna post it cause I already have a lot of versions of that song up and I'm kinda getting sick of it.

The Echo Sequence

This was a real treat. I've been working on this cover for a while now, pre-voice blow out. It was good to make this my return from the grave. I felt I was in really good voice the other night, so at Penny's Open Mic I whipped out my cover of Hallelujah the Hills' beautiful song "The Echo Sequence" off of their album Colonial Drones. It killed.



Next up are "Nurses 5 Float Past", "The Might Come Back Club", "Let it Wave" and "Sleeper Agent"

The Wrecking Crew - new song!

This is a new song, The Wrecking Crew, that I debuted at Grudge Match this past March 17th. Sorry I haven't been around, recording mostly, doing shows here and there, trying to whittle away the Stupid and focus on the stuff that really matters. check the video out, listen to the wild, approving screams and let me know what you think!



Did you know you can download my album for free on my last.fm page? I always hear about people having last.fm pages but so far no real luck getting people to "friend" me and such. I guess it's like flickr, do people really use it for anything other than looking at pictures and/or storing them? I guess it's a bit much to expect the activity of listening to music on headphones while staring at a computer screen to have any social aspect.
