Hell Ya!

Damn this song rules . . . how did I miss this one?

Seems I'm a day late, and way more than a dollar short on this band! Looks like this record came out in 06, and I've never heard of them! Shame on me. Shame Shame Shame.

So . . . why didn't anybody tell me about the Heartless Bastards? Thank goodness for great tv shows & even better music supervisors to keep me on my toes! Damn this track amazing.

So awesome infact, that I had to interrupt my FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS episode (just bought season 1 DVD last night!) to pause, rewind, repeat, pause, rewind, repeat until I had the lyrics correct. Within 4 minutes I've googled a part of the lyrics, found the artist & track name, added them on myspace, AND bought the track in Itunes. Done and done. And now I'm blogging/promoting them!

Now WHO SAYS THE MUSIC BIZ IS IN TROUBLE??? HAHAHAHA. How about the exact opposite! (More on this topic later - just listen to this song NOW)

HEARTLESS BASTARDS 'All This Time' youtube video

All these places part of me
It fills me up and swallows me
My emotions wrapped in vines
Are reaching for the sun that shines
Oh, I must say I adore you
But sometimes I seem to ignore you
That's because I don't deserve to
Have your love for me ever

All this time, I wanted you to know
That if you're ever, ever feeling low
You can always count on -- on me
To be there whenever you need

Since you took my breath again
Would you share your oxygen?
I can breathe one breath of air
Intoxicated by your stare
Standing in the middle of the street
Oh, please don't run over me
I been trying, trying to finally
Reach for a sun that shines

All this time, I wanted you to know
That if you're ever, ever, ever feeling low
You can always count on -- on me
To be there whenever you need

Oh, I love you so much baby
You are my -- you are my rising sun!
Oh, I love you so much baby
You are my -- you are my setting sun!

You are my rising sun
You are my setting sun
You are my rising sun
You are my setting sun

HEARTLESS BASTARDS MYSPACE

After you listen, tell me what you think about it . . . do you like it? Do you already know about them? Has anybody seen them live? I bet they are great live. (especially touring with Wilco, playing ACL, Lolla, etc . . .)

Eric Hutchinson is pretty good . . . ;)

I get comfort knowing that I tried 130987695% on this. I even wore the ERIC HUTCHINSON is PRETTY GOOD t-shirt to work during the meeting. Eric was my FIRST showcase for Capitol Records almost 2 1/2 or maybe even 3 years ago. That didn't go as planned, but I kept on keepin on. I will always be Eric Hutchinson's biggest fan. (and NO - i did not get with him if that is what you are thinking! i am just a fan)

so yeah - mark my words - it's eric hutchinson's time NOW. just check out this new song - one that i am DYING to get my hands on. dave? carter? eric? steve basilone - u have a copy? anybody? this song rules!! Go Eric! I hope you become bigger than John mayer and start Dating Jessica Simpson or something. ;)

ERIC HUTCHINSON 'FREAK CONTROL' new song that i loooooooooooooooooove!

Last night's show @ Hotel Cafe had the biggest line I'd ever seen at the club. Craaaazyyyyyyypants. It was even more packed than when I saw SIA there back in 06.

If somebody dropped a bomb on the hotel cafe last night, half of the music business would be wiped out.
Here's my shoutouts: the A&R peeps I saw (MM,KK,TC,CA,plusmore, Label Promo Peeps (KP thanks for the drinks!), Radio PD's (what's up MS!), lawyers (JL always at the best shows), booking agents (big shout out to jon moore @ apa - hopeudigthemix!), managers (carter & dave you rule), MARKO (booker of hotel cafe), and of course my highschool buddy STEVE BASILONE (412!) who is responsible for telling me about Eric in the first place. that's all - congrats eric!!!! :)
