Promotion 101: Tonight ...

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:11:25 -0500

Hi,

A reminder that Andy Fitzpatrick’s Flying Circus will be performing his tribute to Jeremy Lin at Madison Square Garden tonight at 8pm.

In related news, earlier today I was killing time whilst getting some windows replaced in ol’ apartemento and decided to finally listen to a few “song” demos from one Casey Shea. What’s that? You never heard of him? Doesn’t really matter. The point is that we’re gonna go into something called “the studio” next week to do something called “record music.” In preparation we’re gonna do something called “rehearse.” I know, it seems like a bad idea to me too. Anyway, I thought I’d share one of his new songs with you and maybe get some feedback before we commit ourselves to this new direction for the band …

Be sure to post your comments to caseysheamusic.com.

See you tonight!

Civics 101: Midwest Militia More Like 'Social Club'

Tue, 14 Feb 2012 12:19:00 -0500

Hi,

While you’re agonizing over what not to wear on your big date tonight I’m sitting here in Room 1121 at 111 Centre St. on a balmy Valentine’s Day proving that being late to your first jury duty doesn’t really matter. (ED Note: CORRECTION, if you show up late to jury duty you will have to spend another 30 minutes getting through security in a different court house in order to reschedule your civic duty! So, you know … Be on time. All the time.) Basically you just sit in an unused court room with a bunch of other people and listen to the goatee sporting overweight guy snore his happy little brains out while you wait to find out if you’re gonna be lucky enough to have an opportunity to acquit a bunch of cops for shooting a black guy who was reaching for his wallet. Or something. I’m just glad to at once be doing my duty and comfortable in the knowledge that I do not have a dinner reservation for this evening.

Anyway, a lot of people are starting to look at the snoring guy. SInce there is something called “wifi” here at the courthouse, I’m gonna look up the local noise ordinances and see if I can make a citizens arrest.

Alas, no such luck.

And speaking of saying something if you see something, be on the lookout for suspicious anti US militias lurking in our midst. And by suspicious I of course mean the “Hutaree”, otherwise known as a bunch of white men who are Christian who just happen to be playing war games in the their backyards hoping for a traffic stop to use as an excuse to start “a war against the US Government.”

Normally I would just find such a group of rabbel rousers amusing, except that I have something called a memory.

Mwah!

New video for the song “Let It Slide” from the Casey Shea album IN YOUR HEAD…!

caseysheamusic:

As many of you know, my manager Wes is Dutch. What you may not know is that his youth was spent listening to hip-hop and gangster rap. (yes really.) So it should come as no surprise that his writing and directorial video debut involves guns and cappin’ people’s asses.

Luckily only one life was lost during this shoot. You’ll have to wait till the end to see who the unlucky soul was.

Big thanks to all at Family Records for making this happen. And a special thank you to Wes, Ms. Kristin Winter and Nicholas Webber.

Enjoy, and please repost, share, etc etc!

The brand new video for Casey Shea’s “Let It Slide” has made its worldwide debut on Relix.com! The Case of Casey Shea and the Antique Weaponry has finally been solved. PLUS, you can download the song free for one day only at MP3.com. Don’t miss out! Let us know what you think!

Fundraising 101: Mother Feather. Friday Feb 10th. Mercury Lounge. 11pm.

Hi,

Even though I never received the 8x10 signed photo of Tony Hawk that incentivized my donation to the Tony Hawk Foundation I am still pretty pumped to know that my $20.00 helped build a brand spanking new skate park! So, if you or someone you love loves the art of skateboarding and lives within 40 or so miles of Long Beach, CA I totally suggest you go there and think of me and all the money my physical therapist makes off of my insurance provider while you’re shredding.

And speaking of people who will totally forget about you and your pathetic little life after you’ve so generously donated to their cause, don’t forget that today is the last day to get advance tickets for a certain rock and roll show featuring something called “Mother Feather.” And in case you haven’t been paying attention, said rock and roll show featuring something called “Mother Feather” is being put on in order to raise something called “money” in order to do something called “record more music.” So, while you’re at the show you be able to purchase T-Shirts of women kissing and other things like “the last batch of music we recorded” and then go home feeling all warm and fuzzy that you supported your local community of artistsdklfhjgaslkhgpbnsv;df/klgad’;g entobjdf’glv ;afjsd;fhjsoi;dbnvs’jdsfkdjfbamc .zmxns.jdnvsdfvksjndamcfndsjfsdkv.sdmfnas/dkfnakds. Baarf.

See you tomorrow.

Mwah!

P.S. Tonight I’m playing with the very cool Jeff Litman.

P.P.S. It’s his album release show.

P.P.P.S. He’s from Minnesota too.

Self Aggrandizement 101: Go Mother F-ing Giants!!!!

Hi,

Just wanted to say thanks in advance to Eli Manning and the rest of New York’s Football Giants for helping out on national Clean Up All The Paper Confetti That’s Littering Your City Streets Day! I’m sure you’re gonna do a great job.

In related news, you can contribute to the aggrandizement deprived souls of Mother Feather by purchasing multiple tickets to this Friday’s show at Mercury Lounge!

And yes, a lot of other people have already bought tickets. Imagine how dumb you’d if you went to Mercury Lounge on Friday night and the impenetrably large man blocking the entrance passive aggressively informs you that “…show’s sold out.”

Mwah!

Hi,

A warm and fuzzy happy Birthday to Mr. Jamie Alegre, pictured below laying down some sweet cabasa at The Nunnery for the forthcoming Andy Fitzpatrick release!

Andy and I are heading up to Waterfront Studios in Hudson on Monday to mix about 300 songs in 72 hours. Or Something. Over the last couple days we added various percussion, some Moogish sounding Wurlitzer with my amazing MLM and equally amazing 1957(ish) Magnatone pictured below, and even had Andy recut a lead vocal. What? Yeah. You heard me right. I’m pretty sure the world is coming to an end too.

And speaking of how I’ve had the first 6 songs of Foo Fighters “In You Honor” on repeat for the last hour, with any luck the forthcoming Casey Shea LIVE ALBUM will have as much crowd noise. And btw, if you haven’t seen the new Casey Shea video, you can click this part of this sentence and just be positively amazed.

Hopefully the above paragraph contains some form of copyright infringement.

And speaking of having the new timeline, tonight I’ll grace the stage with one Wes Hutchinson at Rockwood Muzak Hall where we’ll be recording the show for something called a LIVE ALBUM. Coincidence? You decide. Anyway, we go on at 8pm.

Mwah!

P.S. Don’t forget to get to Rockwood early and check out All Night Chemists!

P.P.S. They have great stage lighting.

P.P.P.S. Don’t forget to do this thing that this P.P.P.P.S. links to …

P.P.P.P.S. Before it sells out.
