On the Bay aboard the Matthew Turner yesterday, selfie-phone facing East, toward, you guessed it, the East Bay! Whence Berkeley, Albany, Oakland, El Cerrito et environs perch. Why? A fundraiser for saving the oceans, Petunia, amongst some splendid company. There is no Green without Blue.
New release imminent from Nonnafya Bizznis. Who/what IS Nonnafya Bizznis? Why that’s… Nonnafya Bizznis!! Here is a preview of the artwork, which illustrates the subject matter rather well, I think, for I have heard the song, and it’s a beast (that is a favorable term in this context, Maynard)
In the morning yesterday before sailing, I filmed my penmanship (Dinmanship?) for the lyric video of (all together now!) Charlotte in the Garden of the New Futility. Here is a wee screenshot from this storied event:
Exciting cameo appearances are likely, AND Charlotte continues to enjoy airplay on a bevy of radio stations around the world and for this we are GLAD!! Particularly tickled to see her at the number ONE spot on a Los Angeles chart, for the song is set in the City of Angels, at least somewhat, and.. well Lookity Lookity WOW!!
The FAVES, our stellar Bay Area stars of starring stellarly, find several(!!) of their tracks on the indie rock radio waves all at once, including their recent Higher and Higher single on BCR, even as they prepare their next release - a new original song whose title I will leak here - Side Effects. I’ve heard the track, as is my privilege in this role - I get to know and hear a few things before they are foisted into the vast Intersphere, and it ROCKS!! Surprise? Nay, Madeline, ‘twas penned by Robbie Dunbar and Larry Lynch, so we are not surprised, merely delighted.
Peanuts Gallery: DIN!! WHY DO YOU TALK LIKE THAT?!
Din: Because I want to. It is a good reason to do anything, and most reasons are not as good.
Peanuts Gallery: VERILY AND FORSOOTH, GOOD SIR, CARRY ON!!
Ah, see? I’m making a difference.
Tonight we’ll watch the Snoopy Halloween bit, I think.
Be well, and thank you,
