MC Jack in the Box has remixed my entire I Don't Know What I'm Doing album. It's called I Don't Know What I'm Doing Either.
Well, back from the live thing. Survived! It was actually a battle of the bands deal for tech industry people, because I guess I needed my first live experience to be competitive and in front of an awful lot of people to make it more relaxing somehow.
Six bands played, two were chosen to advance to the semi-finals finals and Brad Sucks was one of those bands. So we are victorious for now! Hooray for now!
So you want to contact Brian Eno? - a funny write-up on contacting Brian Eno. The first quoted message from Eno is a really insightful comment on maintaining distance between fans and artists and how attention can be paralyzing.
Interesting musicians who weblog - cool Metafilter thread listing blogs by musicians. Also nicwolff scored Brad Sucks a first post, sweet! Now for best answer...
Paul Pena has died - you should watch Genghis Blues if you haven't already.
Hey look, it's the Brad Sucks Online Collaboration Contest, brought to you by KillYourFM Magazine and MyVirtualBand.com. Here's how to participate.
MyVirtualBand.com is a site I think I've talked about before. Its main goal is to hook up potential musical collaborators and get them working on songs together. For this competition thing, I've provided the source to my song Dirtbag. People can now collaborate with it or re-record everything or do whatever the like with it. Entries will be judged and so on. Here's how to participate.
Donate $100, get a call from Brian Wilson - Brian Wilson will apparently call you on the phone if you donate $100 or more towards Katrina relief efforts.
I Don't Know What I'm Doing Remixed is finally online. 18 tracks, 1:04:09 playing time. It was a lot of work putting it together but I think it turned out pretty well. Thanks to all the remixers and to everyone who helped spread the word that I've been giving away the source to my album I Don't Know What I'm Doing. (You can get the full source here.)
Here's the zip file for I Don't Know What I'm Doing Remixed. Here's the torrent.
More Than Soup live - Video of Starfinger (aka Dr. Kong Balong) performing More Than Soup at Songfight Live! in Boston a few weeks ago. Very awesome.

The new revision of ccMixter launched today and it's looking pretty swank. You can see my new page here. Besides the nice new design, I like the addition of the podcast buttons and RSS feeds. I'm now subscribed to the Brad Sucks remix feed, which is way easier for me than sorting through my disgusting mailbox.
One day when I have some time to goof around with it, I'll whip up a Wordpress plugin to import that list of remixes onto my site here.
