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!

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-time-hard-b

Jim Brown: G.O.A.T.

Yesterday, I met the Greatest of All-Time in his profession. It's not everyday that you see one, let alone get to interact. Of course, the encounter is nerve-wracking for the fan and probably tedious for the G.O.A.T. Thanks to my friend Steve, we got to visit the field prior my hometown Cleveland Browns ' matchup against the Chargers in San Diego. I had hope to see some of the old new Browns and get some pictures. I also had a small bag with a couple of mini helmets inside it and figured, these guys wouldn't mind that someone actually cared for their autographs. As we walked around the sideline, I sized up my options. Not a lot of players on the field yet. And it was hot. Probably around 95 and I had on a jacket to cover up my vintage Brian Sipe jersey. Lo and behold, who do I see holding court at the far end but the Greatest football player... Ever: Jim Brown . A true legend. The man whole holds a record book full of milestones. Star of the silverscreen. Community activist

Hello, Dali! (Now with 50% More Photos)

Hola , Soul Mates, I'm feeling very jet lagged. Just got back from Espana . Catalunya and Andalucia to be more precise. I even learned Catalan ( jo parlo catala , amics ) and spoke it in broken fashion to amused natives. But wait, here's proof... It's me at the Dali Teatro - Museu in Figueres on Salvador's birthday. The place is more funhouse than museum. This objet d'art was hidden in a stairwell. I call it "The Crowned Peacock Dreams of Genie." Dali lived here. He's buried here. I'm being idiotic here. Genuflecting or posing? Felicitats , Salvador! It was his birthday and I was the only one celebrating. And yes, I did sing "Happy Birthday" to him. Another installation that defies explanation. But it's got a real crocodile and a real light bulb and artificial limbs involved. What's not to like? Seems like every town in Catalonia has some sort of memorial to John Lennon. This sign had fallen off (no, I did not keep it), s
