i'm flying to LA this week to play some shows while mash is teaching at the LA tap fest. miles crawford and charlene deguzman (stomp mercenaries) will be feeling in for greg and angela, both of whom i love very much.
NME blogged about us last week. it was very complimentary and very british! i think there will be a print article in the next physical issue, too. and the guardian did an article, too, and surprisingly, it was some of the worst journalism i've ever met! full of errors and bad attitude!
i'm not even gonna LINK the guardian!!!
in other news/entertainment/offerings, here's a cover of a song written by toby goodshank, my brother-in-love. it's the first song on his new cd, baked naturals/johnny's democracy, which he will give you for free if you pay him shipping. he wrote it circa november 2008 and i chose to cover it because it accurately reflects my perspective on the current political scene here in america. thanks to angela carlucci for filming and thanks to greg for letting me borrow the rhodes piano. lyrics below.
also, mash and i have been spontaneously generating some original tracy jordan-isms. here's the short list, and any 30 rock fans, use your imagination and meet us halfway on these:
1. "i miss the NINETIES!!"
2. "this is the stuff of LEGEND!!"
3. i forgot this one but i'll put it up soon
well you know i know what turns you on
the gentle sting of the tuning fork
and when i open up your ballsack
you know i hope to find pulled pork
and when i stitch back up your ballsack
it's looking like a wrinkled tennis ball
and then i fingerblast your butthole
in a merritt parkway bathroom stall
it's a new joy we've been finding
the daydreams come quick fast
and i think about touching biden
and the dander on his dick and ass
and i wanna touch obama and johnny
but i do not wanna touch on palin
i just wanna be under sarah
when her sweet alaskan bowels start failin'
and i'll be voting for a movement
i hope the doo-doo's gonna fill me up
i'll be voting for two girls
i'll be voting for one cup
