I have a few hours to kill before heading out to see Bat for Lashes tonight at the Varsity Theater. So I thought it would be cool if I update you on what's happening at the W♥M headquarters.
What's on my playlist is Eddie Murphy and Peter Murphy, because of that Tale of Two Murphys article I wrote earlier this week. I just find the Eddie Murphy song, "Party All The Time" to be too hilarious for its own good. I mean, check out that cover of the single, it says "I'm hawt sh**!".
In the mid-80s, Murphy wanted a career in music, unfortunately it never quite happened for him.... but this single, written and produced by "I'm Rick James, b****" Rick James & Kevin Johnston, was a sure hit for the comic actor-turn musician.
Ryan will be the special guest for the colossal episode #50 of W♥M Radio, we're taping tomorrow, Saturday, and the show will be made available for download that Sunday - pending if I can sort it all out with the recording and editing software. We will be talking about the early days (yes, all six months ago...) as well as what's going with the state of music. Will be fascinating, tune in!
Ceji will be covering the San Diego "Music Thing", you can read about it on sandiegomusicfoundation.org, or news.weheartmusic.com, or if you happened to spot this post. You can hear Ceji talk about the secret origin of her name on W♥M039: Ceji.
The complete two-day schedule is available here.
Oh! Also, Shonen Knife announced their takeover of the USA with their tour dates:
