Flexibility & Other updates

I used to be so much more flexible. I was more flexible with time. My money was more flexible. My priorities were more flexible. My mind was more flexible - easier to bend, perhaps, but also more open to new things. And of course, my body was more flexible. I could stretch further, run faster.

I need to be more flexible again. I do not do well being contained in a situation or a pose.

Fun quote from a recent rap battle

“You ain’t tough son, you’d fit in a pencil case
spending your life sentence stuck behind a stairwell gate”

Things I sometimes do

Sometimes, when its quiet and no-one’s around, I beatbox to entertain myself.

Song I was listening to

Listening to Eminem’s Mockingbird reminds me of how his flow sounded really boring on half of that album, and he seemed to work more on his singing than rapping. Funny how rappers go that way, y’know? There was good sentiment in this material but it was a strange time for him, 2003.

Video I was watching

Listening to Joanna Burns and Amanda Duncan cover Ain’t No Other Man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ-jzU-PQaM) is always enjoyable. Are you going to her CD Release party on May 1st?

Jim Sturgess

I truely love his rendition of Something from the musical film Across The Universes. So soothing. So perfect.

Last night, during Amanda Duncan’s livestream, she was joined by a friend of hers who is also a musician, and a blooming good one at that. He sounds like Kevin Devine, looks a little like Michael Cera, and makes videos that will make you laugh. His name is Anthony Fiumano, and he’s making an album which he kind of needs help with. You see, he can play football by himself. He can sing songs to you, but in order to really make this sound how he wants and to do something larger than life (via Backstreet Boys) he’s made a Kickstarter. That’s what the link above is.

I’ve pledged. I mean, he played a show on the internets for me and it was good. I want that album, so I put some money down on this one, even though I kind of told myself I shouldn’t do more Kickstarters. I think I’ve spent close to 1000$ on Kickstarters in the last year, but Amanda said we should and if she told me to strip on a train, I would. If she told me to punch a cop, I would. If she told me to pee my pants I would. But I wouldn’t listen to Nickleback. Oh no, no I won’t do that.

So click the link, see if you are in the generous mood - he has 39 or so days to reach his target of $5000. Oh and if you’re in the US, he’s going to be playing shows with people. I think.

Yeah, and now go buy Joanna Burns music. Or Amanda’s. BOTH MAYBE. MUSIC!

To celebrate having changed domain and emails over

I will now provide you with a video of Joanna Burns and Amanda Duncan singing Ain’t No Other Man by Christina Aguilera. No embedding allowed, sorry y’all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ-jzU-PQaM

Edit:
I was looking through her other videos and she has a bunch of Busted songs covered by the Jonas Brothers. Are the Jonas Brothers a coverband of Busted? Is that their claim to fame? Brits/Americans?
