Doing a bit of late-night performing in a couple of weeks. Cosmoline, oft-mentioned in this blog, are having their CD-release party at the Acadia Cafe on June 4th. I’m closing out the evening as the last musical act. I’ll almost certainly play a few tunes with them as well during their set.

Here’s the fun poster that they’re distributing around:

Oh marketing materials… you can be so pleasing.

My old keyboard is kaput. I got the word from the repair men that it wasn’t worth fixing whatever was wrong with it, and so, last night, I got myself a new board. And how.

Here are some pictures:

I haven’t had a lot of time to play the beauty yet, but I will this weekend, and I’ll have a full report on Monday. Plus, I’ll have it at all my upcoming shows, and then you, my faithful fans, can hear it sing.

And, for the fun of it, here’s a picture of Barabbas, my feline roommate. Look at that dude relax. What a life.

My trusty Yamaha keyboard is down for the count. It’s currently spending its nights at EMI in NE Minneapolis. The technicians are not yet sure what exactly is wrong with it, but I trust their deductive nerdery. I’m sure it will be in good working order by the middle of next week.

So, in the spirit of wounded warriors, here’s a classic clip.
