Gravy Train - Bushfinger Music Project

The Bushfinger Music Project GarageBand Show, Episode Twenty
is brought to by that Entourage TV show on HBO. Not because I watch it, but, well, you'll see.*

I never watch that Entourage TV show. Well, once. By force.

I started this project and before you know it, I found myself inspired by the show I never watch, "Entourage" (starring Jeremy Piven, Kevin Dillon, Debi Mazar, and Kevin Connolly). As a result, this song is dedicated to the hard working behind-the-scenes folks who make- and keep- superstars, well, super! Agents, Artist Management, A&R, (*cough*dealers*cough) you know who you are!


So, Take a 1/5th of what you give me, because I love you Gravy Train!

*(I wonder if I say Entourage enough, if GoogleBot might pick up on it!)

Big Bear Jam

Wow! A video post I can legitimately post on all of my blogs!

This past weekend I was uber bored and made a spontaneous drive to the lake.


(stay tuned for a higher-quality "podcast" version!)

New Music Tuesday - Episode Eighteen*

One night I was totally bored. Hey- it happens. I ended up on Craigslist. The "Rants and Raves" section is good for a laugh every now and then. There was one particular post that caught my attention. It was funny. It was odd. It was cryptically poetic. It got a couple interesting replies from the CL community.


Me? I stole the words and made a song out of it. you know- for fun!

Hey Everybody! Lets Bumrush The Charts!

Now here's an interesting movement:

"People are sick of the watered-down, cookie-cutter content that networks and record companies expect us to enjoy. People are tired of watching friends and loved ones get sued by record labels who only care about profits and nothing else, not even the artists they supposedly represent.

We want and deserve more. On March 22, 2007, we're going to change that with your help..."

Note: I do not necessarily endorse the band, "Black Lab" or their track "Mine Again", but I endorse the concept!

The 100th Friend?

I dunno how it happened- One day I looked up and the Bushfinger Music Project had over 90 "friends" on MySpace. That is so "small potatoes" for most people, but I'm pretty particular who gets added to the list.

To celebrate this upcoming milestone of the "100th friend", there's going to be...

CASH AND PRIZES!! Click here for details!

Code Monkey Like You!

Man oh man.... Man I wish I wrote this song!

"Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
With big warm fuzzy secret heart:
Code Monkey like you..."

No- really- you need to listen to it, then you need to buy it on iTunes!


Yeah, it's not new. Yeah, I heard it on net@night with Amber MacArthur

OMG! Ozzfest is FREE?!?!

WTF?!?! Being the cynical type... (who? me? naaaah?!) ... I didn't believe it either!

The Rock masses need to make this work! Read it, pass it, plan it!

Damn Sharon's a genius! (still not forgiven for the whole 'Maiden thing though)

Holy Hand Grenade! What Gives?

Perhaps you are wondering why the lack of recent posts, uploads, tracks, podcast episodes, etc? (or not)

No- the rumors of a band breakup- aren't true! We're not being lazy, *nor* trapped under something heavy. Truth be told, there's this pesky little distraction called "trying to meet a Thesis deadline!" (you mean *gasp* college?!?!) Once this is complete, a veritble onslaught of BMP goodness is sure to follow!

Meanwhile, enjoy this Monty Python inspired project, created almost a year ago today, "Holy Hand Grenade!" Thanks for hangin' in there!

A Cello Rondo - Ethan Winer

I found this clip a long time ago but it kept crashing on me right around 3:20. Thanks to the power of YouTube it is now available for the Internet masses.

As a musician/cameraman/producer/editor, I must give it up to Ethan Winer. He may be a dorky looking band nerd/tech geek, but he can play the **** out of a Cello! No youtube whore here- Ethan Winer (www.ethanwiner.com) was an accomplished musician before the Internet was invented! I strongly suggest any aspiring cellists (sp?) not only enjoy this video but visit his website which includes tons of high-quality resources and magazine articles (yes- he writes!).

If the Bushfinger Music Project GarageBand Show had a ratings system, Ethan Winer would definately get five stars! *****

Sugar Daddy - Bushfinger Music Project

New Music Tuesday - Episode Seventeen?!

Wow! Seventeen Episodes of "New Music Tuesday" and no major record deal yet?! (I'm kidding!)

By now we all know that pretty much every song ever written is/was based on a real life events right? And by "based" i mean, "somewhat related...". Therefore, I'm sure no one gets offended as we take liberties will the real life events of an oh-so-exciting News Years' Eve weekend in this track we call "Sugar Daddy". Because, well... it's funny, and it's Episode Seventeen!

Have I "arrived"?

How do you know you're "super cool"? When you get a "MySpace Friend Request" from someone you have absolutely no connection with?! (yes, I checked!)


With a band profile on MySpace I do get a lot of requests from other bands, friends of bands, and other band/music-related MySpacers. Then of course, there are all the folks I actually know in real life. Call me naive or just behind the curve, but I never anticipated an unsolicited request from a random 'Spacer, let alone a hottie that *isn't* trying to lead me to a porn site (so far anyway).

So, as the BMW/MINI factory navigation system says as you reach your destination,

"You [pause] have arrived"

(/me pops collar) :)

Solar Terrestrial Dispatch - Bushfinger Music Project

It's New Music Tuesday* - Episode Sixteen

Hey Folks- this week's edition of New Music Tuesday features a track consisting entirely of Garageband default loops. i.e., no "jam packs" (man, where the heck did I put that disk!)

A dancey, drum-and-bassy, trancey track, this one reminded me of outer space, so I named it "Solar Terrestrial Dispatch, because I thought it would be funny to have a song I could call "S.T.D.".

Enjoy!

Streetlight Flicker - Winter Circle

PROPS WHERE PROPS ARE DUE:

I stumbled on the "Garageband.com Faceoff" podcast about a two weeks ago (I was actually trying to find my own podcast on the podcastosphere).

Oklahomeboys, "Winter Circle" showed up a few episodes ago. Now, don't get me wrong- I really don't like "Streetlight Flicker"- Frankly, a bit to candy-coated for my taste. But dammit, just from the 40-50 seconds on the "faceoff", I can't get that damn chorus out of my head! Haven't even heard the full song and i'm singing "watch the color of the streetlight, flicka flicka" as i'm washing the dishes. "Okay- i gotta give em props", i said.

Actually the candy-coating reminds me of one of my first bands. (Hey- I was sixteen, gimme break!) I wrote them an email and signed it, "not necc. a fan but i know a well-written song when i hear one."

Visit Winter Circle at wintercircle.com and judge for yourself. If you like em, buy their album for Buddha's sake!

Jennifer Tuesday - Bushfinger Music Project

It's New Music Tuesday, Episode Fifteen*

Have you ever been walking from the parking lot to your office, and in those five minutes you've managed to write a song in your head? Then you might appreciate the 30-40 minutes it took to complete "Jennifer Tuesday".

Concrete Jungle - Bushfinger Music Project

New Music Tuesday - Episode Twelve

In the "old days" (like, a year ago before the thesis thing), a song like "Concrete Jungle" would have taken 1/2 a night- yeah 3-4 hours. But instead, it took about a week to envision and slap and edit and mix together. All in the inherently distractive and uncreative confines of my office! Don't get mad if you hear a revised version someday! :bmp:

Givin' Em Away - Cool Song Name(s)

Funny how interesting thoughts develop into interesting names... (and hopefully a song in the near future). At the moment:

Title: "Superlover"
Genre: Funk/Ska
Concept: comic book style super hero


Yeah, that's about as far as I've gotten so far. Now don't nobody be stealin' that now!

ummm "(c) 2006?" <---- long shot
