Ryan Bauer | ryanbauer.com » local music http://ryanbauer.com Hello. I am Ryan Wendell Bauer. Here are some things I have made.

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.

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.

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!

The song is called “Life Injection” and here’s what they had to say:

This is the second song from RWB & the MIDI16′s upcoming album “Happy Friday” that we have showcased. This slow jam about saying goodbye to your vices for an addicting lady. I can already hear the South Tampa clubs pumping this ditty. Brilliant wordsmithing and gratuitous use of autotune. For fans of Flight of the Conchords and Prince. Enjoy!

Right on, guys! Thanks a lot! As always, you can sign up for their Mohawk Bomb Record’s awesome “Free Song of the Day” email by visiting their site.

My song “Happy Friday” was featured today on the Mohawk Bomb Records free song of the day email!

From the blast:

Ryan Wendell Bauer and the MIDI Sixteen’s “Happy Friday” is a light-hearted danceable ode to office pleasantries. Makes me thinks about The Talking Heads and Flight of the Choncords while making a cameo in an episode of The Office playing Nintendo. This is dedicated to anyone listening from a cubicle. Enjoy!

Mohawk Bomb Records crashed onto the scene earlier this year with the fantastic “No Lip Vol. 1” compilation which features fantastic Florida bands like Drew Street Mary, Knowing Stu, and other SMAsh Radio favorites. Get it here.

Want proof that MBR is a different kind of label? Here’s their mission statement in the immortal words of Soulfound’s Ivan Pena:

Enjoy. Share. That’s our motto. Mohawk Bomb Records is a new kind of label, focused on sharing new music with the World. Finding new ways to make our artists known. Adopting technology to provide better distribution. We are still a young label, but we hope to bring new music to music lovers all over the World. Spread the word, spread the love.
