and quit. NOW. Really. Think of it..All he has to do is drop out of the race.."I have a headache".. "Barack is right".."what was I thinking?" "Sarah Palin??" He would have our gratitude..he could go out on his "I is t' mav' rick" shtick.  We'd even agree! He could retire to one of the 129 houses with skeleton woman..and spend some dough..he has a LOT you know..at least she does..and all the free beer he'd want.

really..just..quit..stop now..let us get to the work that's needed NOW..rather than waiting for January..and we can impeach the war criminals as well.

(nod to Bible Spice...) C'mon my friend..you know it's the right thing to do.

somedays..it's hard trying to out do Mr Chris Greene..ok most days..I mean not only is he probably the best saxophone player in Chicago right now, has a killa band..gets to play at fancy schmanzy places..has a cd that sounds absolutely soulful..but he's only like 15 years old......and then he sends out a youtube like yesterday's We are the Whirl sung by japanese imposters..which was the only way to top "hilla ree" sung to 1-2-3..

so again, I graciously accepted defeat..

except...thanks to my friend Dr Michael O'Malley..

back at you Greene!

and now, for your free dl and listening pressure..Zee 3rd installment of JP vs the Englishanders..this one has me on the ol' fiddle, sawin up a storm..whilst Simon and Nigel..are wondering..just where..that  harpie what sounds like an outtake from an ELO LP (it's not, and I am not telling how I did it either) is from.. well, it's actually a 1.5 second loop of JA KNOW WHA but it's on the "Something Nice" track, along with ten other sections of things that don't have the vaguest resemblence to anything else..go to Meat Xylophones for more..

 as I am beginning to feel like that guy Eno(ugh already).. after I remitz Dag's latest (and you have not heard the accordians of passion yet),..I will be pulling away as they say from the 96 channel SSL and returning to..umm..making live music if I can ever find ONE FAHNKING PERSON who doesn't have his/her/its head up the arse.

I just discovered ..those little..things..

I will now speak only in..

and I really do like Spinner btw..John Wardle said that during the mix, Brian gave him a call, and started comparing their relationship to one of a harsh master and a little schoolgirl..Wobble hung up and didn't ever call him again.

good story..wonder if it's true.

In my mice space mailbox..a letter from..HOLLYWOOD! (you know, I sorta used to live there, but not really..) anyway:



I just knew that stuff I did for Barack would pay off! All the free things on ccMixter..That piece in the New York Times..PAY DAY here I comes!

but..reading the fine print..sigh......so disappointing..

(Good use of graphics, no?)

I just had to say ..no.

anybody else get this? the letter I mean, not the vast disappointment...

From: CBS Casting for "Jingles"!
Date: May 20, 2008 7:49 PM


Hello,

My name is Shannon McCarty and I am working on a new show for CBS and Mark Burnett Productions. It is currently entitled "Jingles," and we are out to find the greatest undiscovered marketing genius. It is a live show airing at the end of the summer. We are looking for teams of two to three people to write and perform product jingles. A team could be anything from singer-songwriters to a brother/sister team to a singing comedy duo or a barbershop quartet. We are looking for fun, high-energy performances mixed with a competitive spirit.

I discovered your information on the Center Stage Chicago and thought you or someone you know might be interested in this new reality opportunity. Not only would the show be an hour long national advertising opportunity showcasing the talent of the contestants, but the winner will receive $100,000 along with the bragging rights of composing a national commercial.

I really appreciate your time and assistance on this. I'd love to hear any recommendations you may have for anyone that might be interested in participating. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you!

Best regards,

Shannon McCarty

Hi Shannon,

So nice of you to write. I really appreciate you taking the time to search through the listings in Center Stage Chicago and thoughtfully craft an authentic, heartfelt message in your truly worthwhile search for the "greatest undiscovered marketing genius". Although I am ALWAYS looking for a "new reality opportunity", the thought of writing a jingle makes me nauseous...though indeed the national "bragging rights" of having done so are..MIGHTY TEMPTING!

But as much as I am tempted..aw Shannon, it's just not "gonna happa" as the kids say. But good luck with your search, and I will be anxiously awaiting the shows "launch" in the not too distant future. Please keep me posted through MySpace, ok?

In closing..just wondering..who is the main sponsor for the show? I heard "through the grapevine" that the RNC and John "McGramps" are looking to connect with some of that marketing genius talent you are seeking...now that Mr Rove has kind of retired. Have you and Mr Burnett given any thought to this exciting cross marketing approach to increased revenue, not to mention an easier time with the FCC? Wowser! Could be a WINNA!

THANKS!

Warmest and Best Regards,

Mr Pazdan

ps...umm, never mind.

2nd in the series of DJ Pazdonia vs the Mighty Meat Xylophonia....this is the end of a much longer thing..and THAT mess will be here as soon as I figure out how to tune the tambora to a loop I made of 2 englishanders playing under the influence of Ornette Coleman, Phish and Black Sheep Ale.

as for me..I started out on burgundy, but soon I hit etc etc.

Last week my composition "The Long Goodbye" was used in a multimedia article about the plight of immigrants in Calais France. The article ran in both the
Inter
national Herald Tribune and The New York Times, whose collective online
reade
rship exceeds 3 million people.

The Long Goodbye is a collective effort between myself and cellist Phillip
Boula
nger, and was chosen from the pool at ccMixter, where it is licensed under a Creative Commons 3.0 license. AS ALWAYS, it is available from here (or ccMixter.org, see th elink above) for free, simply download it from the Mice Space player. I have put it in the top slot today as it was feeling a bit deprived in the 2 position....

There
's more new music coming soon, including pieces from the work I am doing for the GIMP podcasts. You do know about GIMP, right? It's a free digital image editor that's on a par with the top of the line Photo$$$shop edition, and it's..free.

Go to GIMP. org.
