This is my third attempt at blogging. I’ve been posting to a blog for the past 6 months or so on Blogger which I called John’s Disses. I decided to keep the name. The goal is to make this blog part of my new website, and I was told by more than one person that WordPress was the way to go for that. I’m not sure how I’m going to make that happen, but I’m talkin to the HostBaby people about it. I plan to take it more seriously than I have in the past. I want to post weekly blurbs about what’s happening in my mildly interesting creative life.
I am excited about some Paul Stanley impression mp3s I received in my In Box today from my friends Donny (bass/vocals) and John (guitar/vocals) from the band 900 Pound Gorilla. They are custom IDs for my podcast, The Bull Pit. That means tonight I’m going to go straight home and create a new episode.
900 Pound Gorilla has a short rap called “KISS Coffin” on their debut, selt-titled CD where Donny does this awesome Paul Stanley impression encouraging fans to buy the KISS Coffin (officially, the item is called the KISS Kasket, the name was changed to protect all involved from the wrath of Gene and Paul, I assume). I played it on the podcast recently and it sounded so perfect in between songs, I asked them if they’d do some custom IDs. John asked me to write them some scripts, so I did. Donny read them verbatum. His impression of Paul Stanley’s stage-raps is dead on. Hilarious.
Thanks guys!
Last week, my good friend BC texted me a request for a cover: “This is the Day” by The The. I have been plugging away at it since Sunday. I attempted to Twitter my progress but it was so slow-going that I don’t think it ended up being very interesting. Just an experiment. I did learn how to post TwitPics though, so that was pretty cool. I haven’t attempted to phone them in yet but that’s my next step.
I should have the song posted on my web-site and Myspace in a week or so. I’ve almost got everything tracked. It just needs a few edits, mixing and mastering.
Look for The Bull Pit, Episode #19 featuring one of the new Paul Stanley intros. I can’t wait!
