Intermission music

At some point I think I got drunk and smeared some smut on my Twitter feed about moving this blog into a podcast. Well if you and I missed it, I am officially declaring that it's gonna happen, baby. (Excuse me while I pour another bourbon slurry).

I plan to have it debut in June or July but most likely Junly. It will feature lots of cool stuff you'll have to wait until Mayune to hear about. I need to figure out what the fuck a podcast is first.    

While I am eating all the podcast information I can throw down my jowls in the hopes of shitting out something listenable, I will leave you with musical entertainment provided by some of my very close friends who are awesome and already very listenable. 

First up is my boy Matt who records and performs under the name Boy Pierce. I first met Matt back in 2007 when we worked at the same communications agency. He and I bonded over a mutual hatred of sayings like "low hanging fruit" and "having fun yet?"and seeing the voicemail light blinking first thing on a Monday morning. We also share a love of all kinds of music, and even though his music centers on dance/rap/hip-hop you can hear lot of shout outs to rock, pop, indie, and soul. Ever since I heard him do a freestyle rap during a happy hour at Las Vegas Lounge during $2 Yuengling night I was hooked. 

Boy Pierce just released his 5th album, Various Dreams, which you can download FOR FREE here: 


And you can check out his latest video for the single "Hindsight" here:

Next up -- one of my bessie friends from my teenage hooligan days of shenaniganry, Jeff, is in a band called The Lost Will Follow and I have really enjoyed watching him and his lovely band take-off in the Philly area from my couch. (Sorry Jeff for being a shit friend and only seeing yous guys play live once. I suck.) But from my couch I have been listening to their choons and you can hear them now too. They are a sexy force of South Jersey hard balls rock with none of that emo horseshit:

Here they are performing "I Don't Know" last month. Please note I am NOT the blonde hootchie momma dancing in a light-beer haze in front of the band.



You can also get lost and follow this fine chaps here (and tell Jeff what a shit friend I am): https://www.facebook.com/thelostwillfollow 

And last, but certainly not least, my boyfriend Simon is on the verge of unleashing his latest project, called Shineback in the form of an album called Rise Up Forgotten, Return Destroyed.  It will be available for listening, chewing, and gently caressing on July 1st. In the meantime, you can download the first single "Passengers" FOR FREE here:




And if you pre-order the album now, you will immediately receive a free download of the extra track "I Have Good Days, I Have Bad Days." I can tell you it's extra good and actually not so bad. 

I have had the opportunity to listen to the entire album and I love it because it is truly a bi-partisan masterpiece. Prog fans will appreciate the ability to finally cast aside their dusty capes and shake their hot apple booties to some music that is truly progressive, while pop fans will have something much more meatier to chomp into than the usual over-produced noxious fumes pooted over today's airwaves. 

And I'm not just saying that because the guy responsible for it all has a nice ass. Really. 

More Shineback goodies can be pillaged at 

So go play nice with my old dear friends who are now your new friends and watch out for Lady Stabson casting pods soon.

It's all a little bit mostly true sometimes but not really.
