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! 

M

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. 


Humanities 101: And Then, I Don’t Know, Like Wow Man, The Human Spirit Is Powerful S#!t!

Hi,

What’s that? Oh yeah? Oh cool. It’s nice to know you missed me. What’s that? No, I can’t really say I’ve missed you. But I can pretend if that makes us both feel better. 

In related news I can’t wait to get home and destroy my neighbor’s experience of doing whatever it is they do by testing the voluminous limits of my hifi system with this little gem or rock and roll perfection:

Thanks to the lovely Andy Fitzpatrick for adding to my collection, from his. 

And in unrelated news, I’m very excited to let you in on a little secret that the latest single from one Andy Fitzpatrick “The Last Peep Show” is set for release next month! If memory serves, April 25th is the official release date and will (shockingly!!!) be celebrated with a performance at Rockwood Music Hall!!! Man, if whoever owns that place had a dime for every person who did a release show at Rockwood, he or she would be able to open a third stage! Anyway, this will be the first release from our sessions at Waterfront Studios last fall, off which you’ll hear more about here as time keeps uncontrollably moving along whilst causing me to become older and slower and more cherishing of fleeting moments of things like “happiness.”

I know. 

Wow. 

Oh, and speaking of being pretty freaking pissed about some s#h!t that quite frankly basically everyone should not even have to be talking about … you should read the piece this part of this sentence links to. Go Soraya! 

Oh, and if you want to thank me for sharing that link with you, please don’t bother sending me flowers or the usual stuff. Instead, simply follow the link that this part of this sentence links to and get yourself some Mother Feather tickets for next week’s show before they’re all gone! You can accuse me of a humble brag if you want but all’s I’m saying is that the last show sold out and this time we’re playing with Hank and Cupcakes since everyone loves dessert I can only assume there will be no frosting for you if you’re late to the cupcake making party … get it?

In today’s episode of “Late Breaking News” I’ve just been informed that you can get discounted tickets to the Mother Feather Hank And Cupcakes Show by going to the Taco Party that this part of this sentence links to

I know! Don’t even get me started on the marketing inconsistencies of having a Taco Party to promote a show about baking cupcakes … I’m just the bass player man. I don’t get a microphone. 

And speaking of me speaking into a microphone! We’re getting started on mixing a few songs from _________! One of which features me and _________ speaking into a microphone at the same time. The video below is basically exactly what it was like for us to record said speaking:

Stay tuned for more news about _______ !

Mwah!
