- So all of these
videos are on a pre-determined release schedule to
pull off 10 per month which means these entries are
gonna be weird. Like - I want to tell you last
night they gave us free chocolate sake at this sushi
restaurant for my 50th birthday (who gives free
alcohol to people on their birthday!?!) and Talya and
I proceeded to get so sloshed we had to call Paddy to
drive our car home with us in it. Literally has never
happened to me in my life.,. but hey - free chocolate
sake, amirite!?
-
- Today also kicks
off the first of the songs and wouldn't you know -
there's a complete Verizon outage and although YouTube
and DeoVR are scheduled, TikTok most definitely isnt
(it's in my drafts and I have to publish it) so we had
to drive all over looking for service. Good times.
Working now though...
-
- I'm Alright! One
of my favorite songs from back in the day -
here's
the original
entry (I'm
not embedding the entry bar and video for each of
these songs for a year - fuuuuuck that).
-
- Long story short:
I was being flown out to NY not because I won
Living Room Live... I actually lost - but they
wanted me to announce the winner 'cause they all just
really liked me. That seemed at the time totally
implausible, they had to have more in store, right?
But in fact ended up being true. However my crazy ass
stayed in NY for a fucking MONTH and bugged them
repeatedly until they offered me my own web series
introducing the next round of Living Room Live: Kids
edition. Just realizing how crazy that is that I
pulled that off. This song was before that however,
basically just telling myself: even if they've got
nothing more planned, you'll be alright: you've got
The Journey...
-
-
- Fun adding a new
verse to that about Virtual Presence. For a couple of
these songs I'm able to do that (if it applies). Funny
note on the video - you see my eyes look up at the
screen to see where I am in the song because at that
exact moment I realized I probably should've ended it
at the new verse instead of repeating the first one...
but it was too late to redo all this shit.
<shrugs> I like the song - having an extra
couple seconds is no biggie...
-
- ...but this is a
good reminder to everyone what these performances
really are: just that, a performance. These aren't
complete songs, I would probably redo things if they
were. I certainly wouldn't record my voice and piano
at the same time, etc. However for the purposes of
this project I think it's important people see me
actually playing and singing it live to the
camera.
-
- So there you are!
Next song hits Sunday!
