Life 101: With The Benefit Of Hindsight …

Hi,

Today I heard there was a new Pink Floyd reissue deluxe package thing of Wish You Were Here. Since I have access to all of the world’s recorded music through a $5 per month subscription to Spotify, I thought I would give one of the live tracks a listen because, as everybody knows, “Pink Floyd really gets it.” Imagine my dismay when I encountered the artist “Pink Floyd For Piano” and then the following message when trying, as I had with the new Coldplay album and the recent Adelle album, to listen to PInk Floyd on Spotify: “Unfortunately there are some artists who have opted not to be a part of Spotify at this point in time. Some frequently requested artists that are not in Spotify include Metallica, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. We hope that they change their minds regarding streaming soon!” Good thing I get to listen to Toby Keith whenever I want. 

In unrelated news, if you listen close to the following youtube clip of a promo for a TV show, you can hear me singing along with America as one of the great thespians from an era called “The 1990’s” is welcomed back to something called “prime time.” 

For those of you who love me and my ability to do things like “eat” and “pay rent” there is a demo version of the song where I sing the lead vocal available for your listening pleasure at the low price of $19.95. Please send check or money order to PO BOX 1340, NY, NY 10013. Or if you too live in the 21st century, or simply have an aversion to meaningful communication, you can send your $19.95 via something called paypal to the following email address: imbasile@gmail.com

In unrelated news, do you ever wonder how Cee Lo can sing so high?

In more news about hindsight and being a real manly man, I bet Joe Paterno wishes he was a better singer. Yeah … raar raar. Grid Iron! Raar! Raar! Pig Skin! Raar!

In unrelated news, my favorite lyric from “close but no guitars” LA rocker band Joy The Bug has always been “… are you sorry for the crime, or that you got caught?”

Finally, you should join me at Rockwood Music Hall tonight where I’ll be watching All Night Chemists release their new single. 

Mwah!

P.S. I heard this today on hypem.com and thought it was kinda cool. 


Archiving 101: Wreck Hoard Ing

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!
