we have video action.
done
i now have the ability to shoot video and immediately put it up here for all to see. unfortunately, i didn’t downgrade the file to any sensible size, so it took about ten years for one minute of footage to upload. this is just a piece of a song i still need to record, for no particular reason. this camera doesn’t seem to like bright sunlight filtering in through the blinds and so things have a somewhat washed-out look, but the sound quality is surprisingly tasty. i wish i had it to record the show at the fm lounge. alas.
more exciting video will follow at some point in the near future. maybe i’ll finally make good on my threat to record documentary footage of recording sessions or some such thing.

i absolutely love it

it’s the pajama pants that do it, i think. they just have built-in musical appeal.

cool stuff…i’m sorry i’m only hearing of you recently, (complimentary cd from dr. disc thank-you very much)…i think you’re excellent….when i excitedly mentioned a couple of your songs to a guy at work(who is a fixture in the downtown scene), he casually said “yes, he’s very good, been around forever”….anyways, thanks a lot, i love finding out about actual good music

hey rog…thanks a lot for the kind words. i guess not playing live much and not doing much of anything to promote the music kind of keeps me under the radar…but all of that will change soon, when i collaborate with bryan adams and teach the world what a power ballad can really be in the right hands.
but seriously, i’m glad you’re enjoying the music. i’m going to try and get something new out there sometime next month…gotta put out a “barbecue & pool party” album of some sort to capitalize on the summer weather.

I was feeling all bummed out about mariomarathon ending(googlefu that) and wondering how I’ll get over the loss of that amazing stream, and what do I see when I open up dressing to undress today? johnny video!! yay, it helped mend my broken heart :p
I’m wondering what those of us without pools and barbecues will use the new album for…bathtubs and stovetops version please!
July 14, 2009 at 9:09 pm
there will be a special bathtubs & stovetops version just for you…with a “kitchen appliance advisory” sticker, just to be safe. we wouldn’t want those salt shakers getting offended by nasty language…

i think i have pajama pants that look like that. except they’re not mine, really… they’re a friend’s who i seem to have traded for my sleeping bag.
also, i remember looking up directions on that computer.
who is spouting random observations on other people’s blogs? that’s right. it’s mario.
July 14, 2009 at 10:53 pm
…because really, who other than mario would trade a friend for a sleeping bag?

Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen the infamous JW lap & thumb style playing. Amazing skill, look at that thumb go!
