Yet another Talkin’ Headline. Anyone getting sick of these yet? I’m not. I’ll do em til I die….

Here’s the new set of headlines from cnn.com. Lots going on in the news these days, huh? Maybe. I’m not really sure. It’s hard to tell, right?

Anyway. I know there wasn’t a new song yesterday. I got stuck on Sunday night and didn’t quite get one done for this week. But…I wrote one last night. Not the same thing I started Sunday or the same thing I was working on Monday.

Regardless, it’ll be up tomorrow for you to listen to. So don’t miss out.

Tonight I’m playing in the Barehand Jugband over at the Hideout. It’s our regular last-Tuesday-of-the-month show. This one’s gonna be in the back room, though, so there’s more floorspace for dancing. Plus there’ll be a dance troupe there to teach swing dance steps before we start playing. Should be a good time.

And, EP1, the new short-play album that I put out, is now available on iTunes, as well as CDBaby, in digital form. If you want a CD copy, you’ll have to come to a show, or wait a week or so until I get some copies sent to CDBaby. In any event, if you buy a CD you get a one-of-a-kind Polaroid picture as cover art.

Here’s the new talkin’ blues for this week. All the highly relevant headlines that you just need to know. Do not forget them until right after you listen to this song.

You can tell that my voice is still recovering, right? I’m trying to take it easy, but I also gotta keep my head straight, ya know?

Anyway, I definitely have a new tune working for this week. It’ll be up tomorrow, I’m hoping. Be sure to come back and check it out.

Thank god for the talkin’ blues. I never woulda been able to sing this one. Couldn’t even do it how I’ve done most of the others; a mix of singin and talkin blues.

This one is straight up talked.

And, I think, somehow I like this the best of any of these Talkin’ Headline recordings I’ve done. Not only is my voice completely ridiculous and brings a certain air of laugh-ability to the song, but as I was singin’ the tune I was getting a kick out of how it sounded, how the phrasing of the words came across. How just plain crazy it sounds.

It’s not that crazy, I suppose. Just doesn’t sound much like me. (At least to me it doesn’t…maybe this is what everyone else hears when I sing….)

Anyway, I got through that with almost no voice left. Hopefully I’ll get something back tomorrow and can churn out the new song and the re-recorded version from last year.

If you’ve got any remedies for a lost voice please pass them this way. Or if you’ve got any funny stories about your own lost voice just leave a comment.

Man, this doesn’t even feel like a real week, huh? I’m all jumbled up. Don’t know what day it is or where I’m standing at. What shape I’m in or where I’m going.

But, the headlines do not stop! News must always be made!

So, fear not! I have written another Talkin’ Headline Blues. Or, well, I lifted all the lines for one from cnn.com. I put them in the correct order, though. Pat me on the back for that, cause sometimes it’s tough to rhyme certain headlines that just need to be next to each other.
