From the Floor

View from the floor as just Jenny plays line 6 games for my ears. Very nice.

Ambition and Excitability

I cashed a few checks today. One was from "record sales" and one was from a "live performance". Neither was very large but they were there. Do either come close to being repayment for the time, sweat, and emotion spent on these artistic ventures?
Not a chance. Being raised in a broken family in a broken town forces me to understand being broke. The 2MERICA project has in it's many manifesto-wannabee's the line "Art for our sake" and I've always modulated on every single word there. I think Art? For? Our? Sake? It's all in doubt when it's all working right.

Damn straight it felt good cashing those checks but the money was spent on interest on my other debts before it even cleared. The joy was in the notice, the slow-build that 2MERICA has been forced into. We see if/when you stream or legally-download (sometimes even preview!) our music. We don't tour so please consider not bootlegging our tracks, and if you must, at least share it with someone if you like it. Pay it forward, like that movie with the homeless mom.

Respect -
Ezrazmus Elemento Jones of 2MERICA

Ezzy mobiles and bits

I think we are nearing the completely mobile times. Portability and availability combine with convenience and give us me in the park on a sunny Sunday afternoon still managing to hit the net with some postpost.

I don't get paid for postpost so I'm not in those times just yet. But my screenshare is strong and about to get stronger, my apps get upgraded,
my G increments higher and my cloud grows larger. If I could afford an ipad right now my interface would grow and then yes, I'm working from anywhere in the world (that I can G on).

That is a mobile future, that is the office-less life we could lead, supporting local businesses and the community while maintaining our required productivity. Work from the park an it's not UCB.

How many of You are there?

(by Fuckface Bookman, Associated Pruss) NORTHSIDE, RUSTOPIA - Can your numerous profiles, sensors, logins, switches, accounts, and buttons combine into a single entity? How long would you last if everything you did in a day went into this single profile, nothing more than a record in the relational database that is 21st century life?

Not long says Ezrazmus Jones, which is why he fears such constant connectivity. The connectivity can only rationally remain constant if we are allowed multiple personalities.

"I have many" says Ezrazmus 'Elemento' Jones (not his real name), "and it's a good thing. I can lurk, I can pull rank, I can drop my credentials, and I can hide them just as easily. Just like offline, you have no idea who you are dealing with unless you know me face to face in a real way. Asinine Intelligence will lead us astray."

Hmm, pseudo-interesting point. So add to the discussion here on World Have Yer Say by commenting on if/how you manage to live online as a single entity or if you go the iSchizo route to protect the innocents.

Note that this blog is eaten alive by google, yahoo and bing spiders so you are being recorded (technorati won't even take a nibble though!).

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.

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!

An augmented future starring Headtronics

I've been peddling myself around town since the weather broke and damn what a beautiful city Cleveland is. The near east side by bike has to be one of the finer urban rides in America: Wade lagoon, university circle, Little Italy, Case, Rockefeller Park, Lakeview Cemetery, up the hill to Forest Hills Park (formerly the home of the richest man in the world!), Cain Park, Shaker Lakes, back down the new Euclid Avenue bike lanes to the new CSU then down to the Rock Hall and the Inner Harbor.... Give me a sunny day and my Raleigh and I'm good on the northside. See we started our recession 40 years ago so we are getting good at bein poor.

So with all this hopeful optimism (Obamaism?) I have to tell you about 2 new developments. First off the always funky Freekbass has joined forces with 2 others for his first "supergroup side project". Called Headtronics and featuring a killer lineup of Freek on bass, Steve Molitz from Particle on Keys, and DJ Logic on everything else, they are finally playing Ohio next weekend so you know I will have to check that out. Been a big fan of Dub Trio for a bit so I can't wait to see the Headtronics Trio put their shingle out.

On the homefront, The Flux-adel Recording Division (also in the heart of the northside) has been active lately, doing both final mixes on 2new 2merica tracks for Scherzo Elskorpion, and starting preliminary writing on new material with the very talented Dakota "chief" Stonerock.

Finally -- Last summer I was part of my own wannabe supergroup sideproject that managed to write and record a single song before disbanding. The track is called "Stares 2020" and is currently hanging around on the HD waiting for it's parents to work chit out. I hope you readers will get to hear it sometime, it's probably the hardest thing I've ever produced, like way up in your face, you know, HAVE SOME! Production.

Ezzy

Ps Anyone see Roy Ayers sitting in with The Roots on Fallon last night? Hot damn I hope the roots are recording all those commercial break jams that we miss on tv for us to dig on forever after.

Randomly waiting for spring

I feel like I know all of the beard hairs on my face. Not in a friendly way. In fact, I am their overlord, waiting and reviewing constantly for a whisker to go in-grown.
