Sadly, you can't vote for me again. It only works one time. But seriously, thanks so much everybody! I'm pumped.

P.S. If anybody happened to see it last week, let me know. And if you happened to tape it, I'd love to see it. Thanks!

Well, kind of national. I'll be performing "Winona" on Fearless Music TV this Saturday. Fearless Music TV is a syndicated show that's available in over 70 million households. Every episode is just six different performances from different bands and a short interview. They filmed it live in their NYC studio with all of their fancy cameras and crazy stuff. You can learn more about it here. If you live in NYC you can watch it at 12:30am on Fox 5 this Saturday night. To see when and what station it broadcasts on in your city check out either of these links.

Also, before and after the episode airs you can go to www.fearlessmusic.com and vote for me. And you should. Whoever gets the most votes will have a different song air on the next episode. And that would be sweet, right? Let's do this!

Michael

P.S. Man, I hope I don't look too ridiculous.

P.S.S. I just realized I'm up against Paramore and Sugarcult.....tell your friends to vote!

Twitter is my jam. Follow me, homies.

Haaaappppyyyyyy Neeeeeewwww Yeeeeaaaarr!

So I guess today is the last day of 08. Weird. I feel like this has been one of the greatest years of my life. I finally got my album out. I went on some tours and met some amazing people. It was a lot of fun. This is my first update since I got back from the Mc Chris tour (which was awesome by the way). I pretty much did what I said I was going to do and hibernated all throughout December. But I'm not slowing down. 2009 is going to be filled with all kinds of rad stuff. First, I want to announce that I'm going to....

AUSTRALIA!!

Yep. This will be my first time outside of the U.S. (besides Montreal once) and I can't explain how excited I am. The guys and gals over at Popfrenzy will be releasing my album down under in January and they're sending me there to play some shows. If you know me at all you know that I absolutely hate the Winter's in Bloomington. And I found out it's going to be Summer in Australia in January. So this is totally going to be a sweet vacation for me. I'm going to pet some kangaroo's, get high with Koala's, and chill out on some beaches. If you're going to be in Australia then come check these shows out!

In other '09 news I'm going to be going on a brief Northeastern U.S. tour with Japanther in February. And a big ole' tour in March with The Death Set, Team Robespierre, Ninjasonik, and Cerebral Ballzy. I'm very very excited. These are all bands that I love. It's gonna be craaaazy. So pumped. Details will be up soon.

If you've got a bunch of Christmas money left over and don't really know what to do with it, I can give you an idea. My album, homie! You can order the pysical cd by going here. Or if you're down with Itunes you can get it on here. Also I've got some badass new shirts that my friend Zach designed. These will only be up for a limited time. Check it out!



You can order it off of my myspace in the "about me" section.

Well, that's it for now. I hope everybody party's real hard tonight.

GOODBYE 2008!! HELLO '09!!
