Bastille Day, Perfect For News

Bonjour, Soul Mates,
hope it's been a great week for all of you. Here's the latest going on with Rush Hour Soul.

In the past week, we've made over a hundred new friends in the UK on MySpace. We couldn't be more pleased. We hope to be at 3000 dedicated friends by the release of our free download.

A lot of you have been enjoying our latest video addition to YouTube. It's us performing Bad Penny Blues at the now defunct Bar120 in Huddersfield. Many of our fans from Hudds can be seen dancing to the sunshine funk.

Several of you have mentioned the ringtones to me. Well, A Talent For Loving is being remixed in York, as I type. Once we get the new mix, we will launch our ringtones. The work should be done by Monday as that is the day we are expected to deliver our masters to the mastering house!

Tomorrow, we begin rehearsals for our show on August 4. We will start the day with our first official photo shoot in a year. So it will be a busy day for your RHS.

In personal stuff, I finished reading the 5th Harry Potter book yesterday. My m.o. for the past several years has been to read the first 3/4s of a Potter novel, then see the movie. That way I'd know the plot but not the ending. Saw Order Of The Phoenix on opening day. It's briskly paced and filled with fun stuff, but considering the book is nearly 900 pages, lots was left out.

I was amazed that four years after its publication, I never heard who died in this one. Well done friends and family. Sincerest thanks for not spoiling the ending. However... Mikey, I think you shot the end of Half-Blood Prince. Ha ha. I'll start reading that today. I've given up my method. I figure by the time Deathly Hallows comes out all of the secrets will be international news and therefore impossible to avoid.

All for now. Check out the video.
Amour, Pouvoir, Paix

What? Nothing of the beverage selection for the day 4 me 2 copy? Can't wait 4 the download! Hoping you can arrange for Sir Will (is it improper of me to call him that if I'm on this side of the pond?) to overnight you and me the full Daily Mail paper from the July 15 issue in the UK. If you don't know why, just ask, and maybe you'll make the call pour toi et pour moi. :-) Amour? Pouvoir? Paix? Hmmmm. On this day and every day since the most recent French election day... yeah, down wit' dat. 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...

Rush Hour Soul Returns

Hey Soulmates, been some time, but many of you on Facebook have already seen that Rush Hour Soul is back. I am very excited that while we are looking back at the 15th anniversary of our 2006 UK tour, there are things happening behind the scenes for 2021. For those unfamiliar, Rush Hour Soul is a trio with myself on bass and lead vocals. We were a part of the Indie/Powerpop scene in Los Angeles from 2004-2008, although our style was heavily informed by the Rolling Stones, Chic, ABC, and Sam & Dave. Funkier than our peers.  The well-known venues Rush Hour Soul played around Los Angeles included The El Rey, B.B. King's Blues Club and The Hard Rock Cafe. Our travels in Britain took us to Sheffield, Liverpool, York and back to London. There was a four day detour to Monnow Valley Studios in Wales where recorded in the old manor house. We shot a music video in London, as well. 2006 was a magical summer for the band. In 2008, the project was rechristened as a solo recording under my n...
