    Dead Fame - “My Body, My Fool”

    Richmond’s best electro-new wave band, Dead Fame, just released a track called “My Body, My Fool.”  This single will be a part of series of forthcoming singles that the band refers to as The Mask Singles.  The dark, goth, post-rock track is electronic where Bauhaus is lo-fi.  Honestly, this track makes me feel like I’m in a club circa 1984 or perhaps in a cut (party) scene from Donnie Darko.  Expertly engineered by Pedro Aida, the single casts a light theme amidst moody synth and guitars with singer Michael Means’ line, “You make me wanna live” as a mantra.

    Dead Fame will be headlining WRIR’s Party for the Rest of Us 8 THIS FRIDAY (2/1) @ The Renaissance (107 W. Broad, #300). Also appearing:

    Samson Trinh and The Upper East Side Big Band
    Canary Oh Canary

    I’m really looking forward to The Blue Letter’s last show tonight! It’s the debut of the album they’ve been working on for so long, and it’s also the end of an era. An era filled with effects geeks crowding around to gawk at Dan’s giant pedal board. Come buy me a drink to celebrate. Or buy a copy of the record and see if you can figure out which song is about me.

    Not sure how many of you will appreciate the fact that the Seven Brides for Seven Brothers soundtrack is marked as “EXPLICIT” on Spotify, but I sure did. #lonesomepolecat #pontipeesftw

    My Friends Make Cool Stuff

    What Phil said.

    bringonthetragedy:

    I think if I had a mantra right now in my life - it would be “Make cool stuff happen.”

    I try to live this mantra at work and in my personal life every day.  It can apply to the smallest of things and the biggest of things.  I want cool stuff happening all around me and I want to help facilitate that.

    That being said, I always get really excited when my friends get creative and do something rad.  I’m so lucky that I get to be inspired by musicians, artists, and entrepreneurs in my daily life.  I feed off that kind of inspiration.

    Today I was inspired by two friends:

    My friend Diana has singlehandedly launched her own online vintage furniture/housewares shop.  She goes out thrifting on the weekends, collects cool finds, and shares it with all of us.  It’s called ERA VINTAGE and I look forward to seeing it grow.

    My friend and co-worker Kenny is someone who embodies the mantra.  He’s involved in so many cool projects and is constantly pushing himself creatively.  He and his girlfriend Tracy have been recording songs at home and posting them online in the form of the band Positive No.  They just posted a new song and it’s awesome.  It inspires me to want to start making music again.

    When I saw them both posting about their projects today, it reminded me of how creative and awesome my friends are.  I’m lucky.
