Rush Hour Soul in "A Talent For Loving"

Hey Soul Mates,
turn on the
YouTube! Rush Hour Soul is on and they're playing "A Talent For Loving!" Yes, our music video is up and running. Be sure to go watch it. Please leave comments and ratings for the video on YouTube. We need a huge push to get over and you can help. Be sure to tell 10 friends to tell 10 friends to watch "A Talent For Loving." And enjoy. We know a lot of you have been waiting a long time to see the video. Especially our supporters in Great Britain. We miss you, we truly do. So go watch the video, then come back and finish reading my blog. I can wait...

We had a small gathering of friends and fans this evening and screened "A Talent For Loving" in surround sound (5.1 rocking the hizzy). Of course, on YouTube quality is sacrificed for convenience, but you'll get the gist of the video, no doubt. Everyone in attendance had a good time and they clamored to watch the short twice more. Hope the neighbors didn't mind. Cheers to everyone who made it over.

There are many people to thank for helping us through the process of creating and releasing this video. First, we have to thank director
William Archer for crafting such a wonderful video and for bringing on a first-rate crew. Foremost amongst the crew, we must thank our taller-than-us director of photography, Dennis Madden. Genius. Thanks, as well, to Nina Angeleri of Home Films for producing the video. The whole group of guys and gals working on the set at the Bedford were wonderful and patient with us. Kudos. A job well done.

Next, we need to give props to our co-star,
Sarah Monrose. She looks stunning in the video and Sarah added so much glamour to the whole endeavor. Also on set of course, were our photographer Patty Tokahuta and make-up artiste Molly Gordon. Ladies, you are the alpha and omega for Rush Hour Soul. Grazie!

A list of thank you's wouldn't be complete without mentioning our Golden Circle again. These friends and family members really assisted us with paying for the video (it sho' wasn't free) and donated a minimum of $200 to us. So, humbly, we thank:

The Kelseys (especially tour sponsors
KS1 Security)
The Vails
George Christo
The Tokahutas
The Kutacs
The Rolstons (of Free Heart Farm)

Many of you also made smaller donations to our tour fund. We hope you all received your postcards from the road. Thank you, as well. We are nothing without our Soul Mates.

I've made a few changes to
RushHourSoul.com that should be eye-pleasing. That's the idea anyway. Well, it's been a very long business day here in Rush Hour Soul-land. Time for me to retire for the night. But for those of you just waking up on the other side of the world, you're in for a pleasant surprise. You might even forgo the coffee; just get your jolt of Rush Hour Soul! Holler!!

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...
