Just got confirmed to interview Dropkick Murphys tomorrow. Oh yeah baby!
Bands, "stylizing" your name by typing it in all lowercase letters is about as original as TYPING IN ALL CAPS ON THE INTERNET! :D
Name that quote! "Did you ever go to make a pork sausage, and find that it's got hairs all over it?"

Off to work at the high school, but I have the Wasp song 'Animal' stuck in my head. I'm deliriously tired, so I'm going to have to work really hard not to sing.
Hey labels, your graphic is NOT "hi-rez" unless it is thousands of pixels wide. 600 is pretty much pathetic. Seriously.

Favorite non-partisan news fact check sites. As in the places that fact check all news. (if you say Jon Stewart you don't get the question)

Help (serious for a change)! Words that rhyme with Maloik (sometimes spelled Mal Oik)?

Quick Poll: What are the names of the voices in your head? Mine are Ferdinand and Oglethorpe. They are my friends.
Good news! I just found out how to get in touch with Fox publicity department! This is so I can interview people from Fox and FX shows.

When you do a band's press photo try to make sure that 90% of it doesn't have to be cropped out so people can actually see the damn band!
Best songs where the artist rants about how the music industry screws artists over... GO!

Scrubbing toilets and doing cd reviews. Yeah, I know you're all jealous of my life. :P
FEEDBACK? Are my 3 really short cd reviews here worthwhile? http://www.rockmymonkey.com/cd-reviews/

My revenge for having to put up with floods of annoying Super Bowel status updates? You have to watch The Black Eyed Peas! Bwa Ha Ha Ha!

Band name idea of the day... Abnegation: The act of renouncing or rejecting something.

Sunday, January 30, 2011

So am I the only guy with a life long obsession for nerdy chicks? Not just really smart, but the whole nerd look too. Nerd chicks are the hottest! Seriously.

Simplest software to overlay photo stills on top of boring parts of video without harming original audio track (or the rest of the video)?

Is the new Steven Tyler website ugly as hell or am I being picky? http://www.steventyler.com/

Saturday, January 22, 2011

Remember: You can't be a cool rockstar without some gay ass tribal tattoo...just like everyone else. :P
Best new (past decade) band to bring back the raw old school rock vibe without softening things for the masses? GO!

Wednesday, January 19, 2011

The higher the praise people give an album, the more I want to dismiss it. The bigger the buzz, the bigger the disappointment. Always.
Wait, so Rolling Stone magazine released a list of the top 100 guitar players of all time without Joe Satriani? RS is a sad pathetic joke.

Monday, January 17, 2011

Post some feedback on the first song of the first show of (the band I manage) Tatarus. http://tatarusband.com/metal/media/ #metal

Sunday, January 16, 2011

So the band I manage has a website now. http://tatarusband.com/ Major stuff in motion, so the site will evolve fast! #metal
Favorite shows ( still producing new episodes) that ARE NOT medical dramas, crime dramas, family sitcoms, reality shows, or game shows...GO!

I just spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why a press agent sent me a link to a video that had zero to do with the headline. Grrr.
Goal for this weekend: Get ready to announce fund drive for new Kickstarter.com project on Monday. Bwha Ha Ha Ha!
Question of the day: Is Scott Wino even capable of doing a weak album? This new acoustic cd should be the score to some bad ass Clint Eastwood movie.

Ok, midgets, whores, or shaven yaks. You can only pick one. GO! :D
If you could describe me in one word...
I went to bed at 8 pm and woke up at 11 am the next morning. Being sick is a major waste of time.

Tuesday, January 11, 2011

Being sick both sucks and blows. I'd rather be at work scrubbing toilets...yes it's THAT bad!
Stupidest band names ever...GO! :D
iPhone can still suck it. I love my Droid and I'm keeping it! Verizon or not.

Sunday, January 9, 2011

Going through the list of releases from 2010 to make a "best of list" and realizing I didn't listen to new music at all last year. Burn out?
The scale is trying to tell me I lost 12 pounds in one week with just 30 minutes of exercise and not watching what I eat one bit!

Friday, January 7, 2011

I am so extremely proud of the high school kids that just played their first full show. Metal has some talented young blood.
Waiting to watch some kids from the high school I work at play some good old school Metal at the local shithole. Can't drink cause I'm on meds though.
It took 4 different drugs, but I survived my 7th 30 minute workout in a row despite lungs being filled with crud. Suck it cold!

What Should An Unsigned Band Look For In A Press Agent? http://goo.gl/cNTfT
Thinking of offering independent publicity services for unsigned bands. If I did that would $200 a month be affordable?
Well, I feel like crap, called in sick to work, going to doctors in an hour, still going to try to do my 6th 30 min work out. Am I nuts?

Wednesday, January 5, 2011

Asthma tried to give me an excuse to not do my 5th workout in a row this morning. I drowned it in hot tea and worked out anyways!

Tuesday, January 4, 2011

Success kicks ass! Just finished my first MORNING workout with no problems. Kool Aid guy says what?

Monday, January 3, 2011

For those keeping track, today was my 3rd day in a row that I got my fat ass on the exercise bike for 30. Not a diet. Just getting in shape.

Sunday, January 2, 2011

Droid wins again! Suck it iPhone users! :D http://www.nwcn.com/news/2011-starts-with-a-glitch-for-some-iPhone-users-112778309.html
Finished workout for the day. No nausea at all this time. I always thought morning workouts were best, but maybe not for me?
First attempt at workout ended in less than five minutes because I almost puked. So I'm going to eat breakfast, drink some liquids, and try again.

I start my weight loss battle today at 310. Not a NYR, but a return to old habits. Who thinks they can lose more weight than me this year?
