City of Legends

Wow.  And I have more to do tomorrow.  But got a lot done.

Fixed my issue with the graphic on the bog.  Which involved learning more about WordPress than I ever wanted or needed to know (shaking a mocking defiant fist to the South-East).

Got the Radio City of Legends and Bookstore up and running.  Placed my absurdly massive order for books for the tour.  My publishers like me now, they really like me.  (I know it is still 2-1/2 months until the tour, but I do not want to make the mistake I made before the Love Gods tour that saw some of the books showing up after I had hit the road, we ran out of some titles!)

Did some serious work updating tags.  Correction, adding tags.  I do not rewrite history, that is intellectually and emotionally disingenuous.  I just have about 2200 postings that have never been tagged.  And I promised someone I’d get around to it sooner or later.  So it’s later.  Ah well. 

(Listening to Alanis Morissette being bitter and surly.  She wears it well.)

Did some major consulting work.  Have more to do tomorrow.  Did some engineering for the album (I call them albums still, you have a problem with that?) and laid some new tracks.  Dropped about a half a billion EntreCard cards (more like 150-200, but it felt like a half billion).

Damn, Matthew Sweet just fired up Girlfriend.  Love the guitar licks on that.

Bear suggested I actually perform a few of the logistically simpler tracks at some of the appearances.  Yes, he means for me to play the folksinger, the balladeer or to rock out with my cock out.  Would the back row please move back…a little more…that’s fine.

Hmmm…I know I could do "the taste", "the right set of lips", "Darfur (Jesus Wept)", "Strange but Beautiful" and maybe even "I rained poetry".  Not so sure about "Brisant Revelations" unless we can get a full band, there’s some maniacal guitar and drum work on that  piece that deserves proper treatment.  I’d love to do "Beasts of Legend" but that damn thing is longer than a python…but to be able to do the tiger-bridge live…that would be sweet.

Maybe "Eros V" if I can get Selke to do her backing vocals live?  And maybe, if the stars align and the Gods will, "Kitabu" might one day be finished.  I’d show up for that, damn straight.

Maybe.  As it is, some mornings it is still tough to rise…
