Books and Music – So much on the way

Yo humans I've been feeling prolific and proficient lately, got those legs pumping and ain't giving up no ground.

So many opportunites with so little cash, so much fun to be had makin the dash, but I have big billskys, crying babeskys swirling around.

On I march through thick and thin living the best in the skin I'm in. I borrow old song lines when I post as a crutch, I know, but my crippled ass is on a mission. What can I say I have no rhyme but lots of reasons.

I have two books in the works because I want to publish something beautiful for the shelf or the table or your bag:  1 is a book of 2merica imagery and lyrics, the other is a book of my writing, mainly poetry. Both are in production now but I have no firm timeline. They will of course be for sale online.

Also, the next 2 tracks from Scherzo Elskorpion are almost ready for mastering. Like the debut "Never Met Tomorrow", they are full band let's go all the way affairs and I think you will dig both "Keep Steady" and "Mass Entertainment".

Now if I could only finish the remaining 2 tracks and put out all 5 on vinyl I'd be the most happiest boy alive. That's a nice long term goal, please check with me on that one later.

Northside Nights – Cleveland Music Night @ The Duck!

Northside Nights - Cleveland Music Night @ The Duck

Looking good, feeling good. Celebrate yourself!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cleveland, Ohio - May 19, 2010 - Looking to support local artists and start a new community service, multi-media and genre-jumping DJ Raz is launching “Northside Nights - Cleveland Music Night” at The Duck Island Club on the first Thursday of every month.

The elusive DJ Raz has over 15 years experience spinning records at clubs, on the radio, opening for bands, and has logged time in just about every form of DJ’ing invented. The common theme, he claims, is the community building and artist promotion.

“Spinning records used to mean a bit more, pre-iTunes. Having millions of songs accessible to mere mortals does not make everyone a DJ. But it does spoil us and to a certain extent, makes us lazy, when it comes to how we consume our music. I hope to put all the tenets of DJ’ing into the Cleveland Music Night: promotion, spontaneity, and community. We want local bands to take part, to hand-deliver their latest tracks so we can give them a spin.”

There are no genre or year restrictions on Cleveland Music Night, so you can show up with requests or music of your own. If it ties to Cleveland we will celebrate it, promote it, and give it some spins.

“I’m hoping this will act as an incubator, or at least a sounding board, for local talent” says Raz. “Back in the day local DJ’s had a big part in local promotion, and in most genres that is now history. Plus, I’m hoping to expand my knowledge of the local scene. Not many DJ’s would take on an all-genre gig, but that’s just how I roll. There’s too much artistic talent in Cleveland to let this void go unfilled.”

Artists, fans and street teams are encouraged to bring their tracks to the Duck Island Club, located at 2102 Freeman Avenue (off West 20th) on the first Thursday of every month, or email materials to raz@wfnk.com.

WHAT: Northside Nights - Cleveland Music Night
WHERE: The Duck Island Club, 2102 Freeman Ave.
WHEN: 9-close; 1st Thursday of each month: June 3, July 1, August 5...
WHO: DJ Raz  http://wfnk.com  raz@wfnk.com

Hurry Up With This

There's this, which I've been waiting for since I was a young dirt diggin' chore hatin' fool:http://news.cnet.com/8301-13772_3-20004050-52.html?tag=mncol

Maybe they'll get these things to market by the time I retire. Then my old robot lady can keep the house clean while I am out doing my old guy stuff.

Copyright 2010 style

I usually keep what I consider my good ideas secret for a bit. I'm not a fan of the vaporware (but love the marketing text!). I am breaking that rule right now with this fresh nugget. If a book or proper screenplay ever comes out of me, this will be it, and this post marks my territory titularly:
"Last Tango In Cleveland (or How I Learned To Love The Last Capital of America Before The Oily Oceans Killed Us All)"
All I'm saying is if I brain dump some futurism on you it might finally have found it's form. Nastradam this!
