Sorry about the rose...

Probably not gonna get to tell you that story after all.

On "I Love the Company" today, got another songwriting session. Another work-in-progress with no melody line yet. (It's actually got a rough melody line, but I'm not sharin' with you until I know I'm on the right track. I'm funny that way/) Just kickin' it around to let you guys in on the process.

It's a brand new song that I'm very simply calling ... "The New Year Song"

(It's entirely possible that if I keep naming songs this way, I'll just call the next collection "THE SONGS".)

Y'know...

THE RELIGION SONG
THE NEW YEAR SONG
THE PERFECT GIRL SONG
THE RICOCHET SONG
THE INTERNET ANGEL SONG
THE EMPATHY SONG
THE COMPANY SONG
...and so on.

Anyway, welcome to the website!

Okay, no screwin' around today. Let's get right to the show. Episode 153. (Do you believe it!? Man! 153 shows already.... damn!) On today's ILTC, got a great song I scooped off the Podsafe Music Network about MySpace. (I have grown to hate fucking MySpace!) Well... I mean, I've still got this page up there, and it's a fine resource for finding independent musicians. But, it's... well... just listen to the show.

Y'know, if you live in or around New York City, or plan on being here the first week of December, you can get tickets TODAY. (Yeah, the box office is open today.) It's that yearly tradition... that one night when we all get together in that 500 seat theater and have blast.... kickin' the year in the ass as it heads out the door.

And, just because you shopwed up here today and made it all the way down here to the bottom of the page... (You must be new!) ... I'm feelin' like giving something away.

Okay... FREE STUFF! Here's a FREE download. I'd really like to hear from you about it. It's a song about one of the greatest engines of human conflict ever devised, click on this photo to get the song! It's "The Religion Song" and it's brand new. I played it in Central Park this summer, and it's getting some reaction around the internet. People are emailing and calling in from all over about this one.

Click on the photo for the mp3.

If you've been comin' around for a while, thanks for always showing up... here and in the park. And if you're brand new here, take a look around. There's a lot of cool stuff on this site. And, you can go back and listen through a whole bunch of the previous Podcasts. Actually... you can go back and listen to all of them if you have the time.

Thanks again.
