Your First Weekend On The Rebound

Thanks to everyone who has purchased the download or CD of ON THE REBOUND. What a joyful noise. I really believe in this record. I want the world to hear it, and that starts with you!

In case you missed the announcement on Tuesday, you can get the record through...

iTunes
CDBaby
or contact me for an autographed hard copy!

It will be the best $10 you spend on music this year.

Here's some news:

if you haven't joined the Celebration at facebook, go now! Join the party and then invite your friends to check out ON THE REBOUND (OTR). Simple and fun. You can post your opinions about the album, you can show off your party dress and post a picture. It's a forum for you the fans, friends and family. One goal is to get enough exposure that when I pursue late night TV appearances the fan base for my music will be substantially larger than a month ago.

I'm getting a lot of internet radio play already. I can hardly keep up with it. Thank goodness my one man office, Jason is keeping up to speed with all of it. Cheers, Jason! Anyway, surf the web and you will land on a blogger/webradio station playing cuts from OTR.

Finally, ooooh.... You've learned the songs, now sing along! I have another show scheduled to support the LP. I will be playing at Cinema Bar on Thursday, Nov. 15. Details can be found on my website as well as facebook. Once again, the Inimitables (aka Evie, Kevin, Teresa & Adam) will be backing me on stage. There will be some musical surprises. Dress cute.

This album is amazing. I listen to it everyday. It is my proudest musical achievement and I'm so blessed to share it with you.

Until the next post!

Being There [Grammy Recap]

Hey Soul Mates, Check out your boy. Yes, I did look that damn suave at the Grammys last night. Look, the tickets very clearly said "black tie." What could be less rock and roll than black tie? Not wearing "black tie." Frankly, the hipsters and the club girls just looked silly. Maybe I'm getting sartorially conservative, but you must be clean for the Grammys. We arrived early in the afternoon. A beautifully mild afternoon in downtown L.A. and not a sign of the predicted rain. I wanted to experience the whole nine, so we got there in time for the "Pre-telecast" ceremony. This is where 97 of the 108 gramophone statuettes are awarded. It was much more entertaining and endearing than the actual broadcast. The winners were genuinely moved, were not limited in their speech time and came in all stripes. Now, very few of the acts I voted for won. But the day did start off with a bang as OK Go won best short form video for the treadmill hopping video for Here...

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...
