Music: September 2007 Archives
I've added my song "Lines and Squares" as a video in the Longest Concert Evar.
It is dedicated to Stephen Colbert for all he's done for bear and wrist awareness.
Now that I have a beefy MacBook Pro I can record audio into Logic while doing video, so for this song, I did just that, and the music in the video is mixed in Logic, and then dropped into iMovie and mixed with the video.

I won the Schrammie today. You can read or watch Ken Schram's opinion of me, and see or hear the object of his outrage, the song I wrote called "Osama Bin Laden, You Ruined My Birthday."
Tonight I posted my acceptance speech on YouTube.
The speech is primarily in the form of a song I wrote a year or so ago. However, I wrote the second verse today.
So Ken, bend over and take your bow, because the second and last verses are for you.

Pretty much the whole first hour and much of the second hour of The Commentators, a talk show on Seattle's biggest talk radio station, was directed at me and my song, Osama Bin Laden, You Ruined My Birthday.
Feel free to listen to the whole thing. (Link fixed!)
The liberal host, Ken Schram, was exceedingly unkind. The conservative host, John Carlson, was not kind either, but he at least almost got it. Both of them thought the song was serious. That I was actually saying what the protagonist of the song is saying, seriously, for myself.
They had lots of people call in, some saying my song was "disgsting," some saying it was "funny." One insightful guy correctly said it was a parody of other people, not seriously stating what I think myself.
The whole thing was awesome.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
