Pimp Your Stuff Friday

[filkertom]

• New albums and live shows at TSO. (It is possible, if you did the donation thing -- for which, again, I thank you profoundly -- that you might have some of these.) Old FuMP Guy: Songs of The FuMP, Vol. 3 is precisely what it sounds like, and includes studio versions of "307 Ale", "Operation: Desert Storm", and Luke Ski and I doing "Cthulhu Fthagn". Ends and Odds has been up on BandCamp for awhile, but now I've got it at the main page. And I've got the live shows from ConTata, Ba-Con, and the World Steam Expo.
• This weekend is ConText in Columbus, OH. Me, Seanan, Scalzi, Erica, just a gang of nice folks. I will be stupid-busy, as I'm working on commission songs while organizing yet another album for next weekend (let's see if I can make it). My first concert is tonight at 9:00.

Ready... set... Pimp Your Stuff!

Hey Tom, is there a standalone track version of the 'Cthulhu Colada' song ?

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

No, but I've been thinking that one would be fun to whip up in the studio. :) If I can help it, before OVFF. God, I'm trying to finish so much stuff at once....

Well, don't let it be the shoggoth that broke the filker's back ;)

I just remember you playing it at FenCon, and my squee of joy was recognized across the room. :)

For those in the Ann Arbor area: It's now less than four weeks to opening night for PTD Productions' staging of Long Day's Journey Into Night, by Eugene O'Neill. I'm playing James Tyrone, one of the two biggest roles of my life, and I'm amazed and excited by the work everyone is doing. I think this will be a show I can be proud of.

Can't wait! :)

A buddy of mine from high school is releasing his second album this weekend. This is the friend who did the video "She Don't Like Firefly", and he sneaked the next video "My Next Girlfriend" at http://youtu.be/Qia6yeazmn4

His name is Mikey Mason. If you enjoy comedy music, with an obvious relationship to the rock music that Mikey grew up with, you should seriously check him out. As far as I can recall (and my memory post-graduation is fuzzy), he's the only musician who did a tribute to Porkins from Star Wars. :-)

For Indianapolis locals, he is doing a show on the 15th. Let me know if details are wanted, or search Facebook for the event "Mikey Mason LIVE".

Thanks. :-)

How about pimping some friends stuff?

Just released the other day was a cover album of They Might Be Giants "Mink Car". All proceeds are being donated to the FDNY Foundation, the official not-for-profit foundation of the Fire Department of New York.

The album is chock full of geek musical goodness:

Thanks, Harold. :) Just so you know, the e-mail may take a few minutes; I talked with Bluehost, and we figured out that the delay is on Yahoo's end of things. If it's not there by, say, 7:00, I'll do what I can. I'm wondering if it has to do with Irene, myself....

For those in the Chicago area this weekend...

... Cheshire Moon is playing at Life Force Arts Center Saturday evening!

Suggested donation: $10 advance/$15 door

info & tickets: 773-327-7224 or http://www.lifeforcearts.org/site/calendar/icalrepeat.detail/2011/08/27/4613/-/folk-a-beyond-amy-rohn-a-chesire-moon

www.LifeForceArts.org

Life Force Arts Center is proud to present our monthly concert series "Folk & Beyond": mostly folk music, but sometimes World Music, blues, rock and blended genres.

Featured artists for August: Amy Rohn & Cheshire Moon

Harpist Amy Rohn's original songs invite your heart to connect deeper to the spirits of the Divine. Amy's music begins as a journey using numerology and a mythic story that leads the audience into meditation with the gods and goddesses of Ancient Egypt. With the sounds of the Middle East and Egypt, her songs are inspired by the stories of Nuit and Geb, Nephthys as the twin kite of Isis, the morning prayer to Isis, Hathor, the Eye of Ra, and the boat of a million years. www.Awaken2Light.webs.com

Cheshire Moon is the fanciful collaboration of crazed magician Eric Coleman and trickster bird Lizzie Crowe. What began as a simple joining of two talents in song circles, and occasionally during the mad-hatter antics of Eric Coleman on stage, whipped and frothed into the most likely of pairs. Eric’s love of punk, folk and prog rock gives them an eerie, otherworldly sound, while Lizzie brings the voice of that otherworld to life in chorus and verse. Together they bring about a torrent that is as playful as it is lightly sinister, all wrapped up in a pretty little ribboned box. Do you dare to open it? Visit www.cheshiremoonband.com.

What she said.

Would it be OK

[sffilk.livejournal.com]

for me to announce here the new stuff in the store at Southern Fried Filk, or is this only for personally-made stuff?

Re: Would it be OK

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Go for it. :)

Well, I now have the new DVD from Avalon Rising, and am presently awaiting Emerald Rose's new album "Verdant." I've also added several CDs from S.J. Tucker and Tricky Pixie, along with several from Rathkeltair.

There was a glitch with the code of several of my new song pages, so if you think you might have missed something, once you're at my journal proper, the tag "new song" should pop them all up.
