Yahoo News – How to Become a Rock Star
Yahoo news has just posted a great little video piece about me – there’s some concert footage in there mixed with interviews, me walking around the hood, working in my studio. The whole thing is cleverly done as if I am an actual musician (they fell for it!). The fabulous “jumping in the air at the end of a concert” shot is my favorite. They also use the phrase “Godfather of Geek Rock,” which is pretty awesome, though really it might be more accurate to say I’m the “second cousin” or the “weird uncle.” At any rate, watch and enjoy, and thank you Yahoo News: http://potw.news.yahoo.com/s/potw/61785/how-to-become-a-rock-star
Awesome, I Frakking Shot That
I mentioned this way back when, but I’ll say it again now: we’re looking for folks who are willing to bring video cameras to the San Fran show and send us the footage for possible use on the DVD. Ideally this would be a DV camera of some sort, but HDV is probably OK too. If you’re interested and equipped (and already have tickets – I’m out of comps!), send me an email and I’ll put you in touch with the videographeristas for details. There are a couple of special things we want to set up ahead of time.
The Actual Betty Aberlin
Of all the good things that have come my way since I started this crazy music thing, the best by far might be receiving a comment from the actual Betty Aberlin. I don’t usually like to brag about this sort of thing, but come on, that’s pretty excellent. I’m not worthy. I will never wash this blog again.
Also, the book she’s referring to is called “The Diary of an Old Soul & The White Pages Poems,” it is here on Amazon, and appears to involve her having written a poem for every day of the year. Poem a day, song a week, I ask you: coincidence?
