World Premiere Announcement

Good Morning, Soul Mates.
I'm just back in from my friend Micah's birthday party at the Continental on Wilshire. Nice joint. Chatted with our friend Dwayne, who is going to Torino/Turin for the Winter Olympics. Even though he is working the event, I would not mind trading places for a couple of weeks. I'm still hopeful that I'll get to go to the Games in Beijing in 2008. Of course, to rub it in, I saw several Apollo Anton Ono billboards on the drive home.

We got confirmation today that Everything My Heart Desires will have its World Premiere on the upcoming installment of Next Big Hit on Monday, Jan. 16 (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day). The podcast is posted at 9 pm PST/Midnight, Eastern. We hope you'll all "tune in" to the show to hear our new song. We are thrilled to continue our association with Next Big Hit and give a shout out to DJ Copperhead for supporting our music.

On Tuesday at 1 pm EST, the song will be available for downloading via the newly unveiled Rush Hour Soul.com. The new version of the website will go live simultaneously with the airing of the podcast. Yes, synergy. I'm really excited about hearing what you think about our new single and getting your reactions to it and the revamped RHS.com. So be sure to chime in. Chime. Chime.

Time for bed.
Love, Power, Peace

John Lennon 40 Years On

Remembering John Lennon today. Forty years have flashed by. I can still hear my clock radio turning on to the incongruent sound of the Beatles on Dec. 9, 1980 and wondering why? I think about John every day. I am fortunate to have been able to make pilgrimage to Mendips, Abbey Road and Strawberry Fields, NY; to play on stages like the Cavern, the Jacaranda and the Troubadour where he performed or made trouble, or both. Here’s a quick playlist for you and me. (Just Like) Starting Over I Should Have Known Better Bless You Nobody Told Me Strawberry Fields Forever Nowhere Man Enjoy the day. Fill it with peace. Fill it with music. #JohnLennon #Liverpool

Murderous Haircut of the Mayor of Bel Air - Book Review

“The Murderous Haircut of the Mayor of Bel Air” is a trippy new mystery novel from Phillip Mottaz. It captures the grit and gilt of the City of Angels with the flair of a contemporary Raymond Chandler. The brisk pace and wit are reminiscent of Douglas Adams’s entries in the detective game. Flourishes of Fletch and “Medium” also spring to mind. However, Mottaz has added a psychic/mutant/superhuman touch and his own comedic voice, structure and internal monologues to the proceedings that help the author announce his own style and the arrival of a literary heroine for a new generation. Hairstylist and budding private investigator, Danica Luman is the perfect character to convey the irony, angst and sarcasm needed to tell a 21st century L.A. crime story. Danica also represents anyone who thought it would be neat to get tangled up in a mystery and the darkly comic cautionary tale that follows. The genre is recognizable, but Mottaz offers a fresh take on the not-ready-for-prime-ti...

Getting Better All The Time

Hey Soul Mates, long week. Thanks to everyone who sent along their best wishes for my recovery from food poisoning. I'm still creaky, but there has been a lot going on. The world keeps on spinning. Well, I finally got our ntsc (North American video) master of " A Talent For Loving " made. The original was in the pal format, so it had to be converted before it could be distributed here. As a result of several snafu's, I've upgraded my dvd drive. And thanks to KS1 Security's continuing sponsorship of the band, we have a new color photo printer! That means we can make super-pretty press kits to send out to the record labels and industry players. It's taken a long summer to get to this point. We've had several people of decent magnitude utterly flake out on us. I ain't gonna name names, but you know who you are. As a result, the band is forging ahead on its own (manufacturing our own dvd's is just the tip of the iceberg). We aim to get our music h...
