New Year’s Eve Performance w/ DJ Cen-Flo

NOTE TO SELF: When performing 1.5 emcees’ duties on one of the wordiest hip-hop tracks out there, and your lungs are burning from the icy air, don’t still insist on dancing around on stage. My lungs recovered by my second verse. Too. Many. Words.

More Shows in the Works

In case you had any doubt that the MIDI Sixteen was in full effect, I’m glad to announce that I’m booking shows like a mad man. Check back often for up-to-the-minute show news.

Huge shout outs to Alison Egan-Lodjic of Creative Loafing for the killer review of my show on Saturday night!

After dedicating the set to Michael Jackson, Bauer (pictured left) started a keyboard/synth beat as background to a conversational intro with him making puppet-like hand gestures and mixing a kind of rap/poetry-slam/haiku singing style that I had never seen or heard. I heard a girl proclaim “I love this guy! I just wanna hug him!”; my thoughts exactly.

Ladies? Let the hugging commence.

Stick A Fork In It.

It’s done.

It’s really done.

As I type this, the final masters for “Happy Friday” are being sent to the label for quality control checks before ultimately being sent out for distribution.

Where will you be able to buy this thing? So far, I’ve got deals with iTunes U.S., iTunes Australia/N.Z., iTunes Canada, iTunes UK/European Union, iTunes Japan, Rhapsody, Napster, eMusic, Amazon MP3, Lala, Shockhound, Amie Street, and Snocap/MySpace. I’ve got a few more things in the works that I can hopefully announce shortly.

The wait won’t be long now, and I promise it will be totally worth it!
