That was a show that I watched on public television.
We got in contact with a star of the film's manager, as I may have mentioned. (Michael, you say, wouldn't it be easy to just go back and look at your previous posts to see if you've mentioned this previously? Fluck that schlit.) So I talked to the guy on the phone last night, and it went as well as could be expected. Basically, i told him that ideally, we'd like to have his client, let's call him "Donatello," use his influence over at WB to help our cause, or, on the lower end of the spectrum, we'd like to get some sort of quote from Don to use on the album.
He kind of bypassed the Donny helping us thing and simply gave me the name of a guy at WB to contact. However, he did say that once the whole thing was done, we could probably arrange for a quote. So hey! That's something!
Other news: We got the songs sounding more or less to where we want them to be. We've since gone back in the studio and have started recording five more in WB wants to hear more. Oh yeah! Our lawyer is mailing the demo to WB TODAY. Hopefully SOMETHING will come out of that. If not, it's gorilla tactics all the way. No, that's not a misspelling. We will systematically rent gorilla suits and promptly send them to WB filled with copies of the album.
You know, honestly, it's not a terrible way to get people to notice you.

Two More In The Can - Michael
This Wednesday, the 4th of August, 2010, we go into the studio to record the music for two more songs, anticipating a move with WB. One's a lullaby transitioning into a rockabilly number. The other is an in your FACE metal number. It's somehow both extremely metal and extremely musical at the same time. Don't know how it worked out, but it did.
Trying to finagle this letter with the lawyer. This thing is like, four pages long now. I think she's taking a "we mean business" approach, so I'm all for it. It's a culmination of her writing and mine, and hopefully, with our powers combined, we can be Captain Plan-It, and start planning the rest of this album out.
Pun fail.
Got a bunch of singers looking to audition for the main villain. So close to having a full cast. One audition is with a guy who toured as Ted Neeley's understudy for two years. He claims he can belt it like a biotch, so I'm hopeful that he'll come through.
Just bought an awesome bass, btw.
Here it is.
It's awesome, and since I'm going to be playing bass on most of the tracks, I wanted to get something I was proud to play, and that would make our stuff sound all the better.
Oh, and as a side note, Ben and I are looking to record an album with our old rock band, Scoundrel. Something to Ziploc those memories in. It will kick ASS.
That is all.
