Back in Oz

November 22nd, 2006

Australia has a lot of flies in the summer. I know it’s not summertime for most of you but it’s summertime for me, in ye olde southern hemisphere.

I also know I usually start these updates like this: “let’s pick up where the last one left off; I played in this city, then I played in that city, where I got a funny picture with this rapper; two weeks later, yatta yatta bim bam boom” and I work my way towards the present point, the origin of the axis. But this time I kinda feel like just picking up where this current tour started. I’m not skipping that much in the narrative scheme. I did a couple shows, including CMJ, and there you have it. Let’s go to Australia.

DVD update; Euro mash continues

March 15th, 2006

Alright so I’d like to clear up a few things about the release of my DVD. First things first: despite what the trailer and the main page of this very site says, the DVD doesn’t come with a soundtrack. Basically I made the trailer before even starting the DVD. Then I launched this website as a splash page to show the trailer. That was almost 2 years ago. When I started working on the CD portion, it gradually turned into an album, which grew its own legs and strolled away into its own bubble. Now that should come out around the end of this year or early ’07. The album, not the bubble. Instead, to go with the DVD, I’m putting out a 45 of the theme song that you hear during the trailer, which is called “Knucklehead”. That’ll be released before the end of the month.

End of the Touch the Sky tour

December 18th, 2005

That’s it for the Touch The Sky tour. Over 2 months, 45 shows, room service out the wazoo… Now I’m trying to remember what happened since my last update but it’s kind of a blur at this point. Heck, I can’t even remember my room number today. I know I caught the flu somewhere in there. I know we went to El Paso, TX and I looked for the guys who said “New York City?!?” in the Old El Paso commercials, in vain. In Denver we stayed at the same hotel as Dubya Bush, which went from being smirk-funny for a microsecond (what with the Kanye comment) to being a big pain in the tush when they locked down the hotel for hours. But it makes for a good story. Our LA show was the most star-studded, with surprise guests like Patti Labelle, Common, Adam Levine and Jamie “watch me beatbox” Foxx. Our last show in Vancouver was bonkers… I think everyone gave a little extra umph that night. Boy, I’m gonna miss that tour bus, watching Curb Your Enthusiasm on my bunk before falling asleep and snacking on nuked boca-burgers courtesy of Kanye’s trainer, G.I. Josh.
