Successful

I think the show went well, a markable achievement compared to the first show. I'll also be playing the Slice on Thursday. I'm not sure what time, but it will be free. Don't mind the text, I am attempting to add dramatic effect by typing "Center Justified".

How about that Square Waves eh?

Square Waves w/ Bonnaventure James LIVE!!!!

Tomorrow, April 20th 2007 is the triumphant (hopefully) return of Bonnaventure James and the Deluxe Belgium to the live stage. I've been working on crap for the past month and have something to show everyone. Let's hope I don't make a complete ass out of myself like I did last time.

Square Waves has a bunch of new songs as well, so we should all be very excited for that as well. The show is at the Tongue n Groove and is 5 bones. Starting around 9, be there and be Square (waves).

I may just have to shit dice

It's probably no big deal, but how rotten would it be for the headlines to read "MPAA shuts down YouTube for Good"? I am sort of basing a project on the use of YouTube, and I may just be SOL.

However, this could lead to an interesting spin to our assignment. Could we do an impromptu funeral for the service? I think that would be so cutting edge, BoingBoing worthy for sure.

Lucky for me, this isn't the end of the world if YouTube goes away forever, I'm sure something just a huge comes a long. I do however feel slightly bad for all the folks who could be traumatized by the end of YouTube.

Please don't panic, I doubt this is a permanent thing, but it does seem like it could be a problem for me (even in the short term).

EDIT: It's 2 am and YouTube is back. I had a feeling this would not be permanent, but the impending doom and "I told you so"'s was so ominous I couldn't help but blow it out of proportion. Clearly I'm an idiot, but let's still ponder what would happen if YouTube disappear.

New Music

I wanted to point everyone HERE to check out the first ever GleetchLab compilation. The creator of the software I use for a portion of my music put this together and it sounds really good. Very noisy and experimental, you should check it out if those two words get you interested. It's free, and it's rather hard to beat that price. I also put up a new song on my MySpace that I should be performing on April 20th at the TnG. http://www.myspace.com/thedeluxebelgium
