Kalan Porter owes me $250!

Last night I was checking my webstats when I noticed a huge spike in hits this month for one of the oldest totally not serious tracks I've got online, "If You Could Read My Mind". It made no sense. However, I'm a pretty bright guy, so I grabbed a cup of chai and proceeded to practice my Google-Fu.

I vaguely remember the Gordon Lightfoot track. But that didn't connect. I dug deeper. Some chick named Amber did I remix of the Studio 54 hit. But nothing connected there either.

After some time, and a sidetrack onto sogou.com (go figure!) I think I figured it out- Canadian Idol contestant Kalan Porter. (ed. i didn't even know there was a Canadian Idol!). Apparently in a recent episode she did a cover of the 70's hit, and of course, the masses descend on the Internet to track it down. As a result, I've got yet another ludicrous bandwidth bill. And still no record deal.


Oh- and if you wanna hear If You Could Read My Mind" by The Bushfinger Music Project track, it's right here --> [cleeek] :)

edit: This just in- Kalan Porter- is a dude?!?

Motorkult TV Theme - Bushfinger Music Project

It's 11:15pm, Oct. 9th, 2007. That still counts as a Tuesday, right? Which means, it's still New Music Tuesday!*

The Bushfinger Music Project GarageBand Show, Episode Twenty Three: Motorkult TV Theme


In true American capitalist culture, what better way to achieve recognition than by piggy-backing on the success of others? Now that Motorkult TV is officially underway and getting some traction I can say "yeah- and I wrote the music!". In fact I am the official "music coordinator" for this new video podcast. Eventually someone will tell me what that actually means in U.S. dollars! (but I digress!)

In the meantime, enjoy the music, and don't forget to check out Motorkult TV at MotorkultTV.com! And of course, if you would like a custom tune for your podcast, video project, rap, punk, ska, pop hit, or Bar/Bat Mitzvah, you know who to call, right? (Right?)

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! *****
