I'm a little tipsy.
Went to see Kilbrannan today at Milestones. No doubt the most fun you'll ever have seeing a band. So much good times, and great musicianship. And they know how to give the audience a good time. God, I love them. The bass player in the band produced Hard Road, and my first (out of print) recording, as well. And the electric guitarist in the band played the solo in "Why Do You Care" from Hard Road. And I played banjo on their CD, "Bedlam Boys", on the song "Henry's Head".'
Anyhoo, it's all about the booze when you see Kilbrannan. Lot's of good drinking songs. Don't ever miss them when they come to your area. I left in a truly wonderful mood, and how often does that happen?

masturbate to dialated teen rectum denver movies
I swear to god, that's what the title of the e-mail said. Note, this was an e-mail that my SPAM BLOCKER intercepted, but I was going through some of the unverified e-mails today because I knew I had a CD order coming. (That's the beauty of this program - you can look through the intercepted e-mails and directly authorize an e-mail yourself if you don't want to wait for the sender to do it. But there I go, selling again.)
Which raises the question: What is a denver movie? I know John Denver did "Oh, God" I&II, and maybe some misty pansy movie about the rockies or something, but who'd masturbate to those? Or have I missed the entendre altogether?
Which brings me to my next point. JENNA JAMESON was in Rochester in November and I missed her!!!! She was at the House of Guitars, of all places. I saw an article there on it, and in said article she was being touted as an "actress/model". Hmmmm...I guess "porn star" is too limiting a description. Well, I'm pissed, because I would have gone. Probably woulda been the only broad there, too.
Why was she at the House of Guitars, you ask?? Apparently, she's the pinup girl for Jackson Guitars. I'm guessing the porn industry for a huge star like Jenna isn't as glamorous as I'd expect, because the fact is that Jackson guitars are total CRAP, best used for kindling in your fireplace on those cold Northeastern nights. And they're cheap as shit, so I'm wondering how they're affording a megastar like Jenna, unless of course, she comes dirt cheap (no pun intended).

I'm a whore.
Two whore moments:
1) Note the Spam Arrest banner above of which I am now an affiliate. I've been using this service for a couple of months and it rocks. Saved my sanity. In two months it has processed over 4000 emails to my music biz account, and only 400 of them have been valid, non-spam emails. How much time has that saved me???
Wanna see it work? Send an e-mail to leah@leahzicari.com. It's so simple, and it's cheap. And if you like it and want to use it, please go through the link above, and I'll get a nice little kickback. Don't make me have to go on welfare.
2) Playboy.com and The Suicide Girls are collaborating on a tour together. They're having an "America's Best Unsigned Bands" contest and it doesn't cost money to apply. So I did. Me. Former radical feminist who used to picket anything porn/objectification of women related. I sent them "Kiss That Boy" and a slutty picture of me in a sequin miniskirt, even though I can't fit into that skirt anymore, and I'm waaaaaaay past the age of the Suicide/Playboy girls demo.
Whatever. I'm a 'ho. Call me Chemika.

On a clear day you can see forever.
Americans are always accused of having an arrogance. It's not arrogance. It's the inherent nature of our history that we can go anywhere, say anything, and move about freely without reprisal, without being thrown in a jail, without fear of a tyrannical government, etc. Still there are times when each of us has to make a sound decision for our own survival, where we decide that even though we have the complete freedom to go somewhere or do something, perhaps it's still not a good idea.
For example, a woman is not going to walk alone in a bad neighborhood. A black man is not going to show up to a Klan meeting. A prissy gay boy isn't going to hang out at an Aryan bar to ogle the muscular, tattoed men. If my name was Irizarry, a name of Basque origin, I don't think I'd be traveling to Spain any time soon. That said, if your last name was "Berg", would you even go to the Middle East in the first place at a time like this?
Perhaps Nick Berg will not have died in vain. Maybe the stupid media will finally get off this bullshit about the abuse of arab prisoners, let the DOD handle it and move on to important stories. Maybe Americans will finally see the kind of sick fucks these Islamic militants are, the kind of people we're fighting. Maybe they'll get the concept of true abuse and barbarism. Hurray for Joe Lieberman who said "I'm certain that no Arab official will apologize for this act." Maybe the American people will stop being a bunch of politically correct crybabies and stop insisting that Bush and the military deal with terrorists like a bunch of feminists at a Collective meeting. Maybe, in fact, Bush will actually fight the goddamn war, get rid of these psychotic terrorists, then get the fuck out of Iraq.

It's all in the production....
Ya see? How many times have I said "A performer lives or dies by their sound system." Same thing with the production values of their CD. Good songs may not get their due if they don't sound good. It's image, baby. In this case, auditory image.
In the last week:
1) I've been selected to showcase at the Milennium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA.
2) I've been selected to showcase at the Atlantis Music Conference in Atlanta, GA.
3) Atlantis also selected one of my songs to put on their conference compilation CD.
4) I've been booked to play two different shows at Toronto Pride.
5) I've been booked to play at the gay picnic in Rochester.
6) "Pretty On Thursday" is a finalist in the Outmusic Awards under the "Outstanding Songwriter" category.
7) Pretty On Thursday is #2 on the Outvoice chart. (Go vote here!)
8) I just got an email from someone who said that Rachel Sage was going on about what a great player I was. I didn't even know Rachel Sage would even know my name!
Yay me!
