I was just being nostalgic about 2007. That year had a specific mood about it. Me and Walter were working on our Transit Venus album, and things in general were just...different. We had some good times. One of those good times was in March of that year. Me, Walter, Teddy, and a mutual friend of ours then named Glen Ashlee hung out to brainstorm about ideas and things of the sort. Glen grabbed the guitar and started doodling as usual. We then eventually started to sing with him and this very amusing song (if you can call it that) came about called "Love Is A Scary Thing". It's pretty hilarious, actually. I had my muppet voice going and I couldn't help but laugh at Walter's tomfoolery. Ahhhh 2007. You were special.

Anyway, I decided to share this funny song with all of you in the spirit of Valentine's Day. I used to be a semi-grouch on this commercial holiday, but hey! Let's make the most of these commercial holidays. They are an excuse to buy chocolate you don't see the rest of the year (heheh).

I know some of you have been waiting to hear the next Pedestrian License episode. We promise you, it's coming! We'll probably be recording one this week! By the way, we really appreciate all of the support. Pedestrian License has been gaining popularity and we've been getting downloaded more frequently. Amazing!

Actually, there are a lot of good things going on at the moment that I can't really say just yet. All I can say is progress is being made w/ my solo project. I really have a good feeling about it. I'll be posting updates on that project here, along with other unrelated material as usual. Also, as some of you may already know, Teddy and I are called Bad Life Plus Gadgets when we come together to work on remixes, and other projects that we feel are appropriate under that name. We haven't released anything just yet, but you can hear our Logan Lynn remix for "Write It On My Left Arm" below! We'll be working on fun stuff for you guys to hear. There are some unfinished ideas, if you will. By the way, Logan Lynn's album is now available to buy at Walmart and Target if you're interested and want to get a physical copy from a physical store. Remember, Logan Lynn's album was produced entirely by Carlos Cortes of Assemble the Empire who is working with me on my project (along with Asteroid Belt), so it would be good to give it a listen.

One more thing before I end this here update blog-I've created a SoundCloud page (CLICK HERE) where I've posted instrumentals I've worked on in the past including one I did last week. I'll be posting random music doodles on there to ease the itch of making musics while other things are going on. You can find Carlos and Teddy there on my "following" section to the right. Hope you enjoy, and have a lovely Valentine's Day all. Everyday the 14th!

I've been wanting to separate the Transit Venus music from my solo music [or what's to come] on my MySpace page, and didn't get to it until now. Started fooling around with some musics, got inspired, wrote, and got my fave Teddy! (Asteroid Belt) to bring the music to life. So, it's up on the page now. It's called "I Keep Going". Something new to have up there until my EP is finished and comes out. Also have it as a FREE download of the song on there. Thought I'd write a small blog about "I Keep Going" just to let whoever is interested out there know. Oh, also, Teddy! has the instrumental posted on HIS myspace page, so youuu knoowww. Hollerrr!!! Oh, Oh, Oh, and I've created a separate Transit Venus MySpace page. Click Here to go to it. Do friend us if you'd like to.

I've also been wanting to post the continuation to the Evolution blog I posted 100 years ago. BUT, I've been such a scatterbrains, that I didn't want to write it, and not have it be perfect for your reading enjoyment. I will get to it though. I'm almost there. Almost.

P.S. I'm so sleeeepyyyyyyyyyyy

"Chromeo is P-Thugg and Dave 1: best friends since their adolescence, virtuoso musicians, walking hip hop encyclopedias, and the only successful Arab/Jew partnership since the dawn of human culture.

Chromeo is slick. Chromeo is dripping with reverb. Chromeo is Moog riffs, luxurious harmonies, macho guitar solos and real-deal songcraft. From the dancefloor-ready singles "Fancy Footwork" and "Tenderoni," to the autobiographical Jew-boy ballad "Momma's Boy," to the epic sax-laden album closer "100%," Fancy Footwork rolls you through a sleek, melodic world where all you need to worry about is whether you've got your sunglasses on and the right moves to keep up.
Remember the debate when Chromeo first came on the scene? The endless back and forth about whether those boys were joking or not? Well, Fancy Footwork will put any vestigial haters to sleep forever. There ain't nothing "ironical" about this music. It's Hall & Oates riding on 22's, busting shots in the air with Quincy Jones driving. That shit ain't funny."

So, The Ted and I went to see Chromeo at Webster Hall last Thursday. It was...AWESOME! One of the best shows I've ever been to, and for Teddy, the best show "EVARrrrr!"

We got there pretty early, so we decided to take a walk to kill some time. It was lovely. Of course, I had my big ass camera, so I whipped it out and took this picture of Teddy in the beginning of our kill-time walk:

After our walk, we got there in time to see Peanut Butter Wolf do his thing. He was GREAT! He was mixing up some old school Hip-Hop/80's-90's pop music and videos. Never seen that before, and quite enjoyed it. In the end, he was throwing mixtapes and Teddy caught one.

Of course, after he was done opening up the show and getting everyone riled up, (and oh did they ever–we got beer spilled on us eventually) it was time for the big show. Everyone started to chant "Chromeeooo, Oooooooh!" That was great!

Disco ball was BEAUTIFUL!

And of course the grand finale:

Towards the end there, P-Thugg was throwing his drumsticks to the audience, and Teddy caught one (of course) or as Teddy would say "I caught one of P-Thugg's drumsticks (pause)" Classic! Here he is w/ it in his mouff *giggles* after the show in this very dark picture:

I took my microtrack recorder to the show to see if I could get some good audio, but nope. It was clipping big time. So, sorry I can't grace you guys with some great live audio from the show, but next time we'll know not to be so close and to the side. If we were in the middle, we would have gotten some good stuff! Ahhhhh well. We had a great time. Teddy was the HYPEST MAN ALIVE! He sure did show me his Fancy Footwork–Two step, two step,two step. He took some footage of it with his iPhone. I had to edit the audio 'cause it was clipping! So yeah, I DID overdub the original song w/ the live audio:

The show was pretty much like this except w/o those great sexy legs in the background:

And here is one of their official videos for fun:

P.S. Dave 1's smile makes me feel warm and cozy.
