No Fux Given

Fancy footwork required. 

Honestly, I really just want a blog post on the top of my site to have that title. It should weed out any prospect with ears and a mouth that thinks we have a responsibility to protect our youth from the horrors of the Internet. As my boy Nate would say, I don't want any saps listening to my music. I don't need any self-denying hipsters to comment saying that my use of classic song form is neither groundbreaking nor highly developed. What am I talking about? I'm a hipster and damn proud to say it. (Not that it matters.) I give zero fux! Well actually I do and would be much obliged if all those demographics I slighted earlier picked up my albums of musical musings for 3-10 bucks a pop. Thnx ;)

New digs: Pacha Mama Studios

What a hilarious expression! Anyone substituting 'cks' with an 'x' is just flat out brilliant. Seriously, I giggle every time I say it but only because I envision the letter 'x' snuggling up next to 'f' and 'u' and telling them "I can love you better than 'c,' 'k,' and 's.' Oh and I fuck better too." Then again I can be easily amused.

New music from Pedrodomus (yea that's me) is coming. Consider this the first official announcement after being noncommittal since my noncommittal "Lampshades" release. I will be giving everyone more info on a specific name and date for this upcoming album, but I can tell you this: it is an LP with about 8 tracks ranging from 5-7 minutes long each. There is a lot of me playing guitar and sadly enough singing into a microphone. There are guests and new voices on this album. I am extremely proud and can't wait to share it. Should be sometime in the early stages of 2014.

Women Have Magical Powers and Everyone Takes Steroids

What a world we live in. There are more people on the earth than ever, and technology is accelerating so fast that the boundaries of what human beings are capable of are constantly being redefined. Things are changing faster then I can remember, and there is constantly more and more details to pay attention to. Perhaps that’s just what it means to get older, but as I approach 30 years young I’m noticing I’m not the only one who feels this way. It might sound like I’m about to start complaining about life, the universe, and everything, but I’m not. I actually enjoy the grind of keeping up with Twitter and Facebook, making sure I’ve got the latest articles from the Times and Journal, and trying to remember all those coupon codes in my email. I’m not here to complain about all that wonderful stuff. Rather, I’m writing to complain about a few notable doofuses and they're followers who are trying to stifle all that.

Technology Gave Music a Ring, and Then They Said "I DO"

If you haven't noticed I happen to be a believer in technology and the benefits it has on our lives. When it comes to integrating technology into music and art I am even more of a believer. I've always said if a new technology is more efficient, easier to use, and cheaper than its predecessor it will be adopted by the masses. Take communication for example...
