054 Sleep Debt

Things are really fishy here in laptop land and it's driving me insane. It's really just iTunes, but i wouldn't be surprised if that's just the tip of the iceberg. I'm not asking for your pity nor your technical advice (yet). I'm only asking for your continued patience with my altogether foul mood and rampant bitchiness. I now take you to a much happier place. Waldorf, MD...

Thanks so much to Pete & Dale for asking me to come to the lil' 22,000 strong Waldorf MD to open the Travis Morrison show. Even though I was pretty crotchety and annoyed when I had to get up at 5 in the morning after getting 4 hours sleep, the 9 hour drive went super fast and before I knew it, I was hitting up the slasher hotel known as The Waldorf. You'd figure The Waldorf would be nice. No way. Slasher. It didn't matter. I crashed out an hour before hitting up My Brothers Place. When I arrived, I saw some old friends and loaded in... The show was great and everyone dug the new cover I was working on... so I guess it has a permanent spot on my setlist...

I recorded some prerecorded music to play over and to give the show a little more volume, but i decided against it at the last minute. Personally I think it needs a little work. Speaking of a little work, I spent a good chunk of today making fliers and preparing care packages for the film crew. Sleep debt slowly being taken care of. Full speed ahead.

bob,
i'm sorry about the hotel. Wish I would have known what your plans were, I would have helped you out with that. But yes, thank you so much for coming, it was greatly appreciated by everyone. The new cover was awesome, can't wait until july 3rd.

bob,

i found a set you did in detroit in 2004 on soulseek and before the last song, "lost my lights," there's a long sound clip. i'm just wondering where that is from.

thank you,
chad

if it's the sound clip he usually used it probably was from Waking The Dead........keith

The pre-recorded material is a great idea. I'm a huge fan of the idea of overdubbing yourself live though with delay pedals and stuff (like the Boss RC-20). I'm wanting to get one of those for my 20th.

Finished Uni for the summer today! So happy, don't know what to do.

What's the Travis Morrison show?
