happy Movember (what's Movember you say? ..is it a cross between Moesha and a burning ember?..is it a dismembered Mo'nique?..surely it's a cross between a moron and member!?)...nOpe...Movember is an annual, month-long celebration of the moustache, highlighting men's health issues - specifically prostate and testicular cancer (butts, balls, and mouth-muffs, how could you go wrong really?)....GO!!
Movember.com...oKay...first off...
halloween ruled this year...me and my friends had the beSt costumes... seriously..we did....and some idiot let us in to Robert Schwartzman's party aaNd Adam Levine's party (thaaaanks rooney)..so..there was a lot of serious competition here (for future reference, there is no such thing as a "slutty" devil, "sexy" angel, or "hot" nurse..if you want to dress like a stripper for halloween, go with Wonder Woman, Princess Leah, or just, ..a stripper)..
..i went as the Fat-Elvis-Stamp...
remeembeerr?..the 1992 contest the U.S. Postal Service had to decide which Elvis-image the american public wanted on the official Elvis stamp?? (remember?)
Elvis Stamp Ballot..well...
my costume was the stamp that loSt..yeah, yeah..it's obscure i know, but, i think the execution made up for it (yes, i made the stamp myself..it was quite a to-do):
...2nd off (is that a phrase?)...the Selena Gomez "Kiss and Tell" record is out now (i know, i know, it's been a few weeks, but i haven't sent a mailer since then, so)...my song is track #2 "i won't apologize" and i sing a bit on it and what not...it debuted at number 9 on the Billboard Top 200 (rad)..it's actually a pretty dern fun record (if that's yer bag)...for those who are interested (you know who you are) Selena is a great gal...very nice, down-to-earth, good sense of humor (and no i'm not just saying these things)..she's a genuinely sweet person and i'm sure she'll have a long career...
...AND....i do have a couple shows coming up before the end of the year...
..one is in Harrisburg, PA the day before Thanksgiving...this is a charity event going to support the Autism Society
..listen to the promo here:
Autism Benefit...i'm playing with
Tribe Of One who are backing me up on a couple songs...should be fun...and because the proceeds go to support autism research, if you don't go, basically, you hate autistic people (don't be like that mAn!)...
Wednesday, Nov, 25th, Dragonfly Club
...the other show is in LA with the stellar David Mead and Scott Simons (no introduction should be necessary on either of these guys, but, if you ain't hip, look 'em up...they're both masters):
David MeadScott Simons...this will be my last show of the year and it's with two of my favorite performers..so i'm ree-heaLy lookin' forward to it (expect some collabs, holiday songs, etc.)....for those of you who haven't been to Room 5..i haven't played at this place yet, but, i've seen a few shows there and it's cool..upscale atmosphere..above average food and drink, etc...you'll like it....
Tuesday, Dec 8th, Room 5
...aaaahaaand lastly...cOngrAts to
Mallory Smith who won our Birthday song contest!...we put all the qualified contestants names in Stacey's awesome halloween-hat and Ms. Smith's name done got drawn!....after we contact her and ask a little information about her, i will handcraft a personalized birthday ditty for her that will be ready before Christmas this year...we'll be running this contest at least twice a year, so stay tuned for a chance to win your very own birthday ballad (..see the
"Happy Brithday" EP for examples....eek)...
.....weLp....i hope you all have an ab-fab
t-day....i'll be in western, ma quietly weeping for factory farmed turkeys (c'mon folks, we all know it's really about the pie anyway!!):
