The Talkin’ Headline Blues #73

Audio

Well, I finally got around to recording the headlines from Monday. All taken directly and unchanged from CNN.com. This is a very serious installment, if you’re keeping track. Not in any way comedic like last week’s version.

So, also, did you know that Poor Elvis has a show?…TONIGHT at the Mutiny at 9pm sharp. It’s the birthday party of a good friend, Jeff. His band, the Dirty Generals, is also playing. Come on out. It’s free. I’ll be wearing white in, maybe, the dirtiest bar in Chicago. And, well, it’ll be fun.

Also, also. I am working hard on a new 7-inch vinyl that’s due out in June. Almost all the recording is wrapped up. Be sure to check back for updates. There’s sure to be some good ones in the next few days and weeks.

The Talkin’ Headline Blues #72

Here’s the 72nd installment in the Talkin’ Headline Blues marathon. Just to clarify, if you’re confused. I do NOT rewrite any (or hardly any) of these headlines. They come straight from cnn.com. I think some people, maybe, don’t believe that. It’s only hard to tell because cnn changes their headlines so often that if you try and compare what I’ve copied down to those currently on the site you’ll think I rewrote the lines to rhyme and match up better.

But no!

There’s so much highly important news out there that the headlines must change with the news. They must!

Anyway….

I recorded this one before I finished the rough takes of a couple songs that I’m going to put on a new Poor Elvis 7-inch vinyl that’ll be released in June.

Also, remember that there’s a show this Friday (3/23) at Uncommon Ground on Clark. Show starts at 10pm. Check out the facebook invite to RSVP and for more info. See ya there.
