Hold me closer, Tony Danza

Why did Sting have to go and grow a skanky light jazz inducing man-gina of FAIL?  He used to be so cool.  Even the John Dowland stuff I kind of liked, but he’s gone the path of the farty musical diarrhea bass lines and annoying squiggley saxes.  it’s rather depressing.  What happened to the guy who wrote Message In A Bottle?  Anyway.  Poop on you, Sting.

I’ve been going to Karaoke again a lot.  There was a few months there where we didn’t go at all, but I started going again with Cait, Jacob, Karl, Melissa, and anyone else we can drag along.  We go on Saturdays to the Canary Roost.  Of course this Saturday I may be late since I landed us a gig at an engagement party.  We’re going to do about half covers and half originals.  We settled on $100/ hour, which is pretty cheap honestly.  We could have easily asked for $500 or more.  But we’re gonna play Summer Romance by Incubus, Everlong by Foo Fighters, What I Got by Sublime, and Iron Man by Black Sabbath.  plus maybe a few others.  Sounds fun though.  I’m looking forward to it.

On June 7th we’re going to have a little album release party for our new CD with the help of The Nematoads.  They’re an awesome surf rock band.  Ted from the Nematoads is going to do a cover of the Knights of Cydonia with us because his tremolo kicks ass.  It’ll be at a pizza parlor on North Loop.  This is only going to be a limited release, since we ain’t got much money, but we’re planning on doing a "directors cut" version of our album with special features like audio commentary and "deleted scenes" of extra songs, and perhaps some music videos, and we’re going to try for (I think) September 7th, the original air date of the original Star Trek series.  All sorts of awesome stuff.  Which reminds me!  My cousin is working on a music video for Covenant.  woot.  anyway.  I’m gonna go do other stuff.
