So, I felt it was time to start doing these again. A month to go to a lot of things. Or a few things. Or…I guess, probably, that the headlines are gonna start to get really funny.
So you get this.
Now, you may notice, if you were keeping track, that the music is a little different. And maybe you’re saying to yourself, “Hey, Self, I really don’t think these are “Talkin’ Blues” songs in the traditional sense. What the heck is going on here?”
I’d say to that: Thanks for paying attention.
Okay, well, this week sure did slip right out from under me.
So…no new song and no re-recorded tune from last year.
But! Here’s the Talkin’ Headline for this week. Written on Monday. That’s something, no?
Also, here’s something…a Poor Elvis show on Saturday at Favorite Records. And Powell Brew House will be pouring free beer samples. If you miss out on that you’re a really big jerk. Here’s the info on facebook.
All the important news for today. All in one location. All in song form.
All the news headlines you need to know from Monday.
I’ll admit that taking a break from these, while refreshing, made it a bit more difficult to compile headlines into a song. I was just outta practice and it took me the whole entire day to write the song. Had to keep going back, hoping for rhyming words to pop into the headlines over at CNN.com. Maybe I can just blame CNN for not writing good enough headlines, though. Yeah, I’ll do that.
Get it together, CNN.
Here’s the Talkin’ Headline for this week. Wrote it Monday night as usual. I think it works okay….
In other news, the Poor Elvis vinyl and June tour kickstarter project is going well. 21 backers so far. One-third of the way to our goal. Did you know that if you donate $150 you get one of my original Talkin’ Headline lyric sheets? Did you know that it’ll also be illustrated and collaged?
$150 seems, maybe, like a hefty price, but you also get a ton of other stuff. Things like…our new 7-inch vinyl, our CD with a one-of-a-kind Polaroid as cover art, letters mailed to you from our tour stops, a collage made from objects found on our tour, a poster, a sticker…and MORE!
Just think how great it’d be to get a big box of that stuff delivered to your door. Wow!
Of course, you could always just donate whatever you can afford. For just $15 you get the new vinyl record. Consider it a pre-order, so you’re sure to get one.
Anyway, thanks for your support!
