So I cooked up another little podcast from my lair. As some of you know, I have been sick for the past 2 weeks but Im feeling LOTS better thanks to modern medicine and its terrifying – I MEAN HELPFUL – steroids. I’m nervous about going off of them because it has proven dicey for me in the past. But I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. Or jump off it, depending on how the withdrawals hit me.

Like my other podcasts, this one is not exciting. I promise you that, but it does offer a peephole into my nerdy and incredibly exotic world of cutting up moldy paper and writing all over everything with different colored sharpie markers. I often like to use a different color for each tune Im trying to write lyrics for and I’m sure that isn’t special needs at all. But I do. I do this in my journal too. It makes the internal dialogue more interesting or palatable, I guess. A good while back I bought the 24 color sharpie marker set and have never looked back with an ounce of regret since. And these juicy tidbits are not included in the podcast by the way. I offer it here only. And over at Myspace. And Facebook.

Enjoy!

PS: I also talk about the circus freak piece I am doing in the “presentation”, and dug this pic up to offer a little more clarification of when I was first laying it out. After assembling all of my mutant circus freaks, I let them out of their plastic bag briefly to do a dry run of the auditions I have planned for them within this piece.
