Well, thanks to my pals at the Saturday Light Brigade in Pittsburgh, I got my first airplay of the year. I'm SURE it was my first airplay of the year. Check out the date:

Not every radio station publishes their playlists online. But I've been told that for every station you find has played your CD, there's probably three or four more that didn't.
That's so cool, knowing my stuff has infiltrated the minds of people all over the place.
------
I need to write more songs. I feel like I'm right on the edge of a creative WHOOOOSH.
You know what the worst thing is about writing songs? You come up with the best stuff when you're nowhere near anywhere to write it down. I hate that.
------
Could somebody please rent the movie "Swimming Pool" with Charlotte Rampling and tell me just what the FUCK was going on in the last 2 minutes of the movie? It was great up until then, and then...Wha? Who? Huh?
------
On an only slightly-related note: Aside from 1931's Dracula, which wraps up nicely, are there any other vampire movies out there that don't totally fall apart in order to create a resolution? I'm thinking of all the vampire movies I've seen and they all seem to end up in a corner, so they have to ignore previously set plot points or cause some odd occurence in order to make the thing work.
I think part of the problem is that nobody ever sat down and wrote up a "vampire rules" sheet, by which everybody had to conform. Some can die by a stake through the heart, others can't. Some can eat and drink; others can't or won't. Some are scared by crude representations of Jesus; others aren't.
Ever notice they never have a movie called "Dracula: Murder at the Religious Art Show"? That would be really funny...Drac trying to bite somebody while avoiding the crucifixion paintings.
Or even better, how about Jesus as a vampire? Would he be scared of himself? The title writes itself: "Drink His Blood."
Jesus as an action hero? "Miracle Man..."
Jesus as a porn star? "Jesus is coming."
Why Hollywood never calls me, I'll never know.

Well, it's February and that means the Alwun House shows are coming up. First up, the Exotic Erotic opener on Feb 11. My wife's troupe, Kindred Spirit, will be there. If you've never done this thing, you really should. The weirdest people you'll see all year. Trust me. If you've ever wanted to dance outrageous or sexy and show it off in front of strangers, THIS IS THE TIME AND PLACE TO DO IT. Just ask my friend Shirley Runyon. Or better yet, show up and see what she's wearing this year!
Then on Feb 18 I'll be part of the to-do at the Erotic Poety and Music Festivus. It's my third year. Woo Hoo!
